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日的恐怖袭击之后，美国人对恐怖主义行为的风险，含义和适当反应的理解如何？在发生这些袭击的情况下，我们进行了一项全国范围内的大规模电话调查，探讨了美国人对罢工的反应，他们对未来恐怖袭击的风险的看法以及在国内和国际上的适当政策回应。该项目将包括与2001年秋季回应的人进行的后续调查，以了解他们的看法，信念和偏好如何在此期间发生变化。使用2001年使用的问题的电池，以及将探索恐怖主义威胁引起的行为变化的新措施，我们将检验有关公众信仰和意见的稳定，连贯性和相关性的假设。我们还将采用问题来了解反恐努力是否与其他国家目标兼容，例如维持开放的社会和个人自由的保存。结果都将为关于公众舆论的性质和连贯性的学术辩论提供依据，并为旨在应对恐怖威胁的政策提供了重要的见解。
