How have Americans' understandings of the risks, implications and appropriate responses to acts of terrorism evolved in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001? In the immediate wake of those attacks, we fielded a large nation-wide telephone survey that explored Americans' reactions to the strike, their perceptions of the risks of future terrorist attacks, and appropriate policy responses both domestically and internationally. This project will consist of a follow-up survey with those who responded in the fall of 2001 to learn how their perceptions, beliefs and preferences have changed over the intervening year. Using batteries of questions employed in 2001, and new measures that will explore changes in behavior induced by threats of terrorism, we will test hypotheses concerning the stability, coherence and relevance of public beliefs and opinions. We will also employ questions to understand whether anti-terrorism efforts are seen as compatible with other national objectives, such as maintenance of an open society and preservations of individual liberties. The results will both inform the scholarly debate on the nature and coherence of public opinion and provide important insights into public support for policies designed respond to terrorist threats.

在2001年9月11日恐怖袭击之后，美国人对恐怖主义行为的风险、影响和适当反应的理解是如何演变的？在这些袭击发生后，我们立即进行了一次大规模的全国性电话调查，探讨美国人对袭击的反应，他们对未来恐怖袭击风险的看法，以及国内和国际上的适当政策反应。该项目将包括对2001年秋季作出答复的人进行一次后续调查，以了解他们的看法、信念和偏好在这一年中的变化。使用电池的问题在2001年，和新的措施，将探讨由恐怖主义的威胁引起的行为变化，我们将测试假设的稳定性，连贯性和相关性的公众信仰和意见。我们还将通过问题来了解反恐工作是否与其他国家目标相一致，例如维护开放的社会和维护个人自由。调查结果将为关于公众舆论的性质和一致性的学术辩论提供信息，并为公众支持旨在应对恐怖主义威胁的政策提供重要见解。
