对公众支持战争的研究表明，公民对战略背景的各个方面都有反应。对目标国的核心特征关注较少。在这项比较研究中，我们报告的调查实验操纵两个这样的特征，政权类型和占主导地位的信仰，以测试是否“民主和平”和“文明的冲突”的命题反映在美国和英国的公众舆论。基本的调查结果显示，两种情况下的差异很小：两种公众都更倾向于使用武力反对君主制，而不是反对民主国家，反对伊斯兰国家，而不是反对基督教国家。在英国，宗教并没有起到缓和的作用：基督徒和非信徒都更愿意攻击伊斯兰国家。然而，在美国，占主导地位的信仰效应完全是由基督徒驱动的。总之，我们的研究结果表明，公众的判断是由图像和身份的战略计算的威胁。
Research on public support for war shows that citizens are responsive to various aspects of strategic context. Less attention has been paid to the core characteristics of the target state. In this comparative study we report survey experiments manipulating two such characteristics, regime type and dominant faith, to test whether the “democratic peace” and the “clash of civilizations” theses are reflected in U.S. and British public opinion. The basic findings show small differences across the two cases: both publics were somewhat more inclined to use force against dictatorships than against democracies and against Islamic than against Christian countries. Respondent religion played no moderating role in Britain: Christians and nonbelievers were alike readier to attack Islamic states. However, in the United States, the dominant faith effect was driven entirely by Christians. Together, our results imply that public judgments are driven as much by images and identities as by strategic calculations of threat.
