The October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel resulted in widespread trauma, impacting not only the direct victims but also the broader population. Many experienced posttraumatic symptoms. This collective trauma blurred the lines between witnesses and victims, leading to a shared experience of pain and grief across Israeli society.
In the wake of these attacks, a notable phenomenon emerged: memorial tattoos reflecting personal narratives while also representing collective trauma experienced by the entire nation.
A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University uses Terror Management Theory (TMT, Solomon et al., 1991) to explore the rise of memorial tattoos in Israel following the attacks, offers insights into how individuals cope with trauma and find meaning through tattoos, using TMT as a theoretical framework, and ultimately contributing to the understanding of psychological resilience in the face of terror.
