Summary in English.

Israeli ideological tradition is analyzed & the possibilities of effecting change in mass consciousness opened to the Israeli left by recent developments are assessed. Prestate development is outlined. The historical bases of popular consciousness are described, including a discussion of the development of Israeli capitalism, intraclass divisions, chauvinist attitudes towards Arabs, the alliance with imperialism, militarism, clericalism, & chauvinism, the assault on women's rights, & the kibbutz myth. Several of these features have produced a gradual shift to the right among Israeli Jews, particularly evident within the political forces around M. Begin. Building opposition among the Wc is examined, including a discussion of the Labor Party, Socialist-Zionists, anti-Zionists, & the Democratic Front for Peace & Equality, their stands on Zionism & the national conflict, & left participation in popular movements. The Israeli left today is facing the challenge of influencing mass consciousness. G. Simpson.

Prior research has shown that men and women respond differently on a variety of behavioral, attitudinal, and affective measures related to agentic and communal interpersonal orientation, yet research on such measures seldom disaggregates findings by gender. The present study examined how gender moderated a range of affective and cognitive responses to an important social and policy issue—police use of Tasers. The study followed the Dziekanski case in which an émigré to Canada died after being repeatedly stunned with a Taser by police officers. Compared to men, women were significantly more opposed to police Taser use, they were likelier to blame police for Dziekanski's death, and they reported stronger emotional responses to the case. The findings extend support for the view that men and women exhibit different patterns of response to situations that evoke communal values, and they highlight the importance of theoretical guidance in disaggregating responses in opinion research.
