This project, submitted under the Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) program, will examine public attitudes toward immigration and civil liberties following the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In particular, this project will examine public attitudes regarding the freedoms of Muslims in the United States, as well as public attitudes about the arrival of new immigrants from Muslim countries. Using a panel survey of 1,000 adult respondents, the principal investigator will probe attitudes toward security and freedom. A split sample design will be employed to determine differences in attitudes toward restrictions on freedom broadly in contrast to those applied to Muslims. The principal investigator will also test hypotheses about attitudes on immigration. In addition to economic and social explanations of these attitudes, the survey will allow the study of feelings of personal safety.

这个项目是根据探索性研究小额拨款(SGER)计划提交的，将调查世界贸易中心和五角大楼遇袭后公众对移民和公民自由的态度。特别是，该项目将调查公众对美国穆斯林自由的态度，以及公众对来自穆斯林国家的新移民的态度。通过对1000名成年受访者的小组调查，首席调查员将调查人们对安全和自由的态度。将采用分裂样本设计来确定对自由限制的态度的差异，这与适用于穆斯林的态度大相径庭。首席调查员还将测试有关对移民态度的假设。除了对这些态度的经济和社会解释外，这项调查还将允许研究个人安全感。
