网络攻击是否助长了威胁政治？它是通过什么机制这样做的？为了解决这些问题，我们采用了一项涉及模拟网络攻击的技术和生理实验（2 u 2）。参与者被随机分配到“网络攻击”（治疗）和“无攻击”（控制）两组。我们发现，网络攻击使人们更有可能表达威胁感知；我们建议唾液皮质醇，一种压力的测量，作为连接网络和威胁政治的机制。与现有证据相反，唾液皮质醇是将模拟的网络攻击暴露转化为政治威胁感知的机制。
Do cyberattacks fuel the politics of threat? By what mechanism does it do so? To address these questions, we employ a technological and physiological experiment (2 u 2) involving a simulated cyberattack. Participants were randomly assigned to "cyberattack'' (treatment) or "no attack'' (control) conditions. We find that cyberattacks make people more likely to express threat perceptions; we suggest salivary cortisol, a measure of stress, as the mechanism bridging cyber and the politics of threat. Contrary to existing evidence, salivary cortisol is the mechanism that translates simulated exposure to cyberattacks into political threat perceptions.
