The research employs the Acculturation Scale, the Spirituality and Religious Sentiments scale (ASPIRES), the Fear of Death Scale (FODS), the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Perception of Threat Scale (POT), and the Centrality of Events scale to analyze how these factors interplay in the context of major life events, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic and the Iron Swords War. By comparing two major crises—one global and one regional—the research aims to better understand the emotional and psychological adaptations of this population. Este estudio explora el impacto psicológico de la espiritualidad, el afrontamiento religioso y el miedo a la muerte entre migrantes judíos argentinos en Israel, utilizando evaluaciones psicométricas y datos sociodemográficos. La investigación emplea la escala de Aculturación, la ASPIRES de Espiritualidad y Sentimientos Religiosos, la escala de Miedo a la Muerte (FODS), la escala de Miedo al COVID-19, la escala de Percepción de Amenaza (POT) y la escala de Centralidad de Eventos para analizar cómo estos factores interactúan en el contexto de eventos significativos de la vida, en particular la pandemia de COVID-19 y la Guerra de Espadas de Hierro. Al comparar dos crisis importantes—una global y otra regional—la investigación busca comprender mejor las adaptaciones emocionales y psicológicas de esta población. application/pdf application/epub+zip text/html application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/11056 10.62174/psocial.11056 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Ciencias Sociales https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/11056/9763 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/11056/9764 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/11056/9765 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/11056/9766 Copyright (c) 2026 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 10, No 2; e9 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 10, No 2; e9 2422-619X Spirituality, Acculturation; Fear of Death; Israel Spirituality, Acculturation, and Fear of Death: A Psychometric Analysis of Argentine Jewish Migrants in Israel during the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Iron Swords War Espiritualidad, aculturación y miedo a la muerte: un análisis psicométrico de migrantes judíos argentinos en Israel durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y la guerra de Espadas de Hierro info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=psocial&d=11056_oai
