道德恐慌这个概念起源于20世纪70年代初，用来描述公众对真实或感知到的威胁的反应。道德恐慌与众所周知的社会问题有关，包括抢劫、毒品、青少年犯罪、帮派和恐怖主义。最近，研究人员在这种背景下研究了校园枪击事件。然而，值得注意的是，缺乏对Goode和Ben-Yehuda （1994a, 1994b）道德恐慌归因模型的定量应用。本研究考察了道德恐慌的五个关键属性——担忧、敌意、共识、不相称性和波动性——因为它们与校园枪击事件和大学生对犯罪的恐惧有关。结果表明，受访者对犯罪的恐惧是学生认同道德恐慌的最佳预测指标。讨论了未来研究的方向和本研究的局限性。
Originating in the early 1970s, the concept of moral panic has been used to describe the public’s reaction to a real or perceived threat. Moral panic has been linked to well-known social problems, including muggings, drugs, juvenile ‘delinquency, gangs, and terrorism. More recently, researchers have examined school shootings in this context. Notably absent, however, is a quantitative application of Goode and Ben-Yehuda’s (1994a, 1994b) attributional model of moral panic. The present study examines the five key attributes of moral panic—concern, hostility, consensus, disproportionality, and volatility – as they relate to school shootings and fear of crime among college students. The results indicate that respondents’ fear of crime is the best predictor of students’ subscription to moral panic. Directions for future research, as well as limitations of the present study, also are discussed.
