This project is for emergency funding to carry out additional interviews in the World Values Surveys (WVS) being carried out in Pakistan and Bangladesh. These interviews use the version of the WVS interview schedule designed for Islamic societies, and adds supplementary questions to measure approval or disapproval of the recent terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. The investigation also assesses whether such attacks are seen as compatible with Islamic teachings. The researchers also probe into support for democratic institutions and openness to ties with the West.The existing WVS questionnaire explores the basic values and worldviews of each society without touching on current political issues. Adding a battery of questions measuring attitudes toward terrorism and relations with the West makes it possible to analyze the extent to which these orientations are linked with enduring core elements of Islamic belief systems, and the extent to which they may be changing. The pilot surveys conducted in Iran, Egypt and Jordan found surprisingly widespread support for democracy and indications of an intergenerational change in the direction of growing support for social and political liberalization.This Small Grant for Exploratory Research investigation is extremely timely and will enhance substantially our understanding of this very important topic.

该项目是为在巴基斯坦和孟加拉国进行的世界价值观调查中进行更多的访谈提供紧急资金。 这些采访使用了为伊斯兰社会设计的WVS采访时间表，并增加了补充问题，以衡量对最近在纽约市和华盛顿，华盛顿特区发生的恐怖袭击的支持或反对 调查还评估了此类袭击是否被视为符合伊斯兰教义。 研究人员还探讨了对民主制度的支持和对与西方关系的开放程度。现有的WVS问卷探讨了每个社会的基本价值观和世界观，但没有涉及当前的政治问题。 增加一系列衡量对恐怖主义和与西方关系的态度的问题，使我们有可能分析这些取向与伊斯兰信仰体系的持久核心要素的联系程度，以及它们可能发生变化的程度。 在伊朗、埃及和约旦进行的试点调查发现，民主得到了令人惊讶的广泛支持，并有迹象表明，在社会和政治自由化方面出现了代际变化，越来越多的人支持民主。
