Note. N = 336 after a listwise deletion of cases with missing data. Entries present results of a simultaneous solution. In parentheses: coefficients of a stepwise solution that included only variables entered at the .05 significance level. CASP = Control, Autonomy, Self-realization, Pleasure.

Coefficients equal to or higher than 0.30 appear in bold.

Coded 1 = Man, 2 = Woman.

Coded 1 = Israeli-born, 2 = Born outside of Israel (Europe/America or former Soviet Union).

OHS = Offspring of Holocaust survivors.
