Abstract

This study utilizes self-reported data on exposure to conflict, collected in the West Bank, to examine the exposure effect of house raid or arrest of household members on child behavior. We show that exposed children are more likely to engage in violent behaviour. We also show that the exposure effect is independent of gender and that the magnitude of the effect is greater for older children. We propose that altering personality traits, mainly neuroticism and agreeableness, is a channel through which the exposure to house raid or arrests adversely affect children behavior.
