SGER: A Post-Crisis Analysis of the Attitudes and Value Orientations of the Islamic Publics in Egypt, Iran and Morocco

SES-0139908PI：曼苏尔·莫德尔东密歇根大学这位研究人员目前得到了美国国家科学基金会的资助(SES-0097282)，通过面对面的访谈，完成了对埃及、伊朗和约旦具有全国代表性的1,000名公民的世界观调查。研究的目的是(1)分析公众的价值取向；(2)了解社会群体和价值结构之间的联系；(3)评估世俗化、理性-法律权威和自由紧迫感之间的关系；(4)检验三国价值观的相似/不同程度。这笔探索性研究小额赠款(SGER)将用于收集9·11恐怖事件后埃及、伊朗和摩洛哥人民的关切和态度的数据。目前在约旦实地进行的一项调查将从约旦公民那里获得同样的信息。提出这一请求的理由是，目前的事件引入了一个重要的背景因素(即社会政治危机)，这可能会影响伊斯兰国家公众态度和价值取向的决定因素。恐怖事件之前和之后的事件将使调查人员能够捕捉和检查这种变化(例如，9·11事件是否以及如何影响中东公民的价值观和信仰，并阐明社会政治危机可能如何影响更广泛的态度和关切)。

SES-0139908PI: Mansoor MoaddelEastern Michigan UniversityThe investigator currently has NSF funding (SES-0097282) to complete surveys of the worldviews of nationally representative samples of 1,0000 citizens in Egypt, Iran, and Jordan using face-to-face interviews. The objective of the study is to (1) analyze the value orientation of the publics; (2) understand the connection between social groups and value structure; (3) assess the relationship between secularization, rational-legal authority and liberal urgency; and (4) examine the degree of similarity/dissimilarity of the values in the three countries. Funds requested by this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) would be used to gather data on concerns and attitudes of people in Egypt, Iran, and Morocco after the September 11th terrorist acts. A survey presently in the field in Jordan will capture the same information from citizens in Jordan. The rationale informing this request is that the current events have introduced a significant contextual factor (i.e., socio-political crisis) that potentially will impact the determinants of the publics attitudes and value orientations in Islamic countries. Pre-and post terrorist events will allow the investigator to capture and examine such changes, (e.g., whether and how the September 11th events affects values and beliefs of citizens in the Middle East, and shed light how sociopolitical crises may affect attitudes and concerns more generally).
