Abstract
Objectives: We investigated the impact of temporal focus, and emotional and spiritual intelligence on the well- being of emerging adults in Israel's Palestinian minority population in a time of war. Methods: There were 194 Palestinian students enrolled in higher education in Israel who participated in the study. A machine-learning random forest model was employed to explore the interaction of predictors using traditional linear regression and a regression tree. Results: High emotional intelligence and present temporal focus were linked with elevated satisfaction with life. High past temporal focus and older variables were associated with low levels of satisfaction with life. We found no statistically significant differences by time of questionnaire completion (before or after the outbreak of war). Conclusions: For the Palestinian minority in Israel, personal indicators of agency were predictive of life satisfaction, but advent of war had no significant effect on any of these indicators.
