Terrorism and political attitudes: Evidence from European social surveys
利用欧洲社会调查数据，比较恐怖袭击前后受访者的政治态度变化，发现袭击后当地居民对政府和议会的满意度上升，但对移民态度和政治倾向影响不大。
Terror attacks in Europe have increased substantially since the turn of the last century. Using data from European Social Surveys (ESS), we examine their effects on political attitudes and orientation by comparing within-country survey responses shortly before and after terror attacks involving at least one fatality. At the national level, we find little support for the hypothesis that terror attacks influenced attitudes towards immigration or political orientation. By contrast, there is evidence of post-attack increases in satisfaction with the national government and trust in parliament among ESS respondents living in the region that was attacked.
