Abstract

The kibbutz, in the early 1990s, presents a collective community in transition. Changes in social ideology are reshaping certain aspects of developmental processes of individuals who were brought up in a communal community. This special issue highlights the unique interaction between cultural context and personality development processes in kibbutz adolescents and young adults. Certain social, affective, and cognitive changes that contribute to identity formation in the kibbutz context are explored from multidisciptinary perspectives.
