美国的研究表明，9/11恐怖袭击通过创造一种集会效应增加了对政治机构的信任。在本研究报告中，我们分析了2004年3月11日马德里恐怖袭击前后立即收集的欧洲晴雨表数据，以复制和扩展美国以前的研究结果。我们报告说，第一，在马德里恐怖袭击发生后，对不同类型机构（政治、媒体、司法）的信任立即显著增加;第二，袭击的影响在不同类型的机构中有系统地变化;第三，影响通常是短暂的。我们的研究结果表明，恐怖主义对机构信任的反弹效应在不同的国家背景下普遍存在，但这种效应在不同类型的机构中也有所不同。
Research from the United States suggests that the 9/11 terrorist attack increased trust in political institutions by creating a rally effect. In this research note we analyze Eurobarometer data collected immediately before and after the March 11, 2004 terrorist attack in Madrid to replicate and extend previous findings from the United States. We report that, first, trust in different types of institutions (political, media, justice) increased significantly immediately after the Madrid terrorist attack; second, the effect of the attack varied systematically across different types of institutions; and, third, the effect was generally short-lived. Our results suggest that the rally effect of terror on trust in institutions generalizes across national contexts but also that the effect differs across types of institutions.
