Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency laws and powers on a scale not seen since the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks have been enacted, with implications for the everyday lives of Americans. Building on research on public perceptions of trade-offs between security protections and restrictions on personal freedoms in the post-9/11 environment, this project will use surveys that explore COVID-19 pandemic mitigation efforts that potentially constrain legal freedoms. As a result, this research will determine popular tolerance for perceived public health protections versus legal restrictions. Employing several waves of survey analyses of a nationally representative sample of the US population, this project will explore public views on government actions taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. Econometric models and machine learning techniques will be utilized to analyze the survey data. Findings will have implications on several theoretical literatures across disciplines, which will inform policy makers, scholars, and the public of the balance between competing public health imperatives and legal protections.This project is jointly supported by the Law and Science Program (LS) and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (SMA) in the Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

由于 COVID-19 大流行，颁布了自 2001 年 9 月 11 日恐怖袭击以来从未有过的紧急法律和权力，这对美国人的日常生活产生了影响。该项目基于对 9/11 后环境中公众对安全保护与个人自由限制之间权衡的看法的研究，将利用调查来探索可能限制法律自由的 COVID-19 大流行缓解措施。因此，这项研究将确定公众对公共健康保护与法律限制的容忍度。该项目将通过对具有全国代表性的美国人口样本进行几轮调查分析，探讨公众对政府在 COVID-19 大流行期间采取的行动的看法。将利用计量经济学模型和机器学习技术来分析调查数据。研究结果将对跨学科的一些理论文献产生影响，这将使政策制定者、学者和公众了解相互竞争的公共卫生要求和法律保护之间的平衡。该项目由法律和科学计划（LS）和社会、行为和经济科学理事会 (SBE) 多学科活动办公室 (SMA)。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
