对于某个问题或事件的信念和态度会随着时间的推移持续存在的条件，我们知之甚少。本研究利用了“自然实验”，即三哩岛（TMI）核事故，以便（a）更好地了解个人对其所经历的重大事件的信念的本质，以及（b）评估从基于实验室的实验文献中发展出来的概念表述，该概念表述涉及何时信念和态度可能会暂时持续。事故发生后 3 年的时间里，我们从两个社区居民样本中收集了数据：居住在 TMI 方圆 10 英里范围内的幼儿母亲以及 TMI 核电站员工。研究设计中还包括来自宾夕法尼亚州西部比较地点的母亲和工人的样本。结果在几个方面支持了持久性模型。首先，TMI 受试者的信念虽然比对照受试者的观点更加极端，但在研究期间几乎没有变化。其次，该模型表明应解释观察到的持久性的因素确实是 TMI 受试者随时间的信念的一致重要预测因素。讨论了结果对未来重大事件长期反应应用工作的影响。
Little is known about the conditions under which beliefs and attitudes about an issue or event will persist over time. The present research took advantage of a “natural experiment”, namely, the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear accident, in order (a) better to understand the nature of individuals' b]eliefs about a major event to which they were exposed and (b) to evaluate a conceptual formulation developed from laboratory-based experimental literature concerning when beliefs and attitudes are likely to be temporally persistent. Data were collected over a 3-year period following the accident from two samples of community residents: mothers of young children who lived within a 10-mile radius of TMI and TMI nuclear power plant employees. Samples of mothers and workers from a western Pennsylvania comparison site were also included in the study design. Results supported the persistence model in several respects. First, TMI subjects' b]eliefs, although more extreme than comparison subjects' v]iews, showed virtually no change during the study period. Second, the factors that the model suggests should account for the observed persistence were indeed consistently important predictors of TMI subjects' b]eliefs over time. Implications of the results for future applied work on long-term reactions to major events are discussed.
