Abstract

As unmanned aerial systems grow in popularity, police agencies are using this technology to provide aerial support for officers; however, public opinion could affect the success of this technological collaboration. Using social identity theory, researchers may be able to predict people’s support for various government projects. In a series of studies, participants were presented with a brief description of a proposal for using police drones to monitor political protests. Additional information was provided about the type of protest and type of person attending the protest. In general, conservatives were more supportive of police drones monitoring protests compared to liberals. However, this support was moderated by the type of participant and the type of protest; that is, support dropped when a participant believed that the protest supported their own political party beliefs. The current study provides a foundation for understanding what factors affect the public’s support of police incorporating drones into their daily workforce in the US.
政治派别对支持美国警方无人机监控的影响
随着无人驾驶飞机系统的普及,警察机构正在使用这项技术为警官提供空中支持;然而,公众舆论可能会影响这种技术合作的成功。利用社会认同理论,研究人员或许能够预测人们对各种政府项目的支持程度。在一系列研究中,向与会者简要介绍了一项使用警用无人机监视政治抗议活动的建议。关于抗议的类型和参加抗议的人的类型提供了更多的资料。总的来说,保守派比自由派更支持警察用无人机监控抗议活动。然而,这种支持被参与者的类型和抗议的类型所缓和;也就是说,当参与者认为抗议活动支持他们自己的政党信仰时,支持率就会下降。目前的研究为了解是什么因素影响了公众对美国警方将无人机纳入日常工作的支持提供了基础。
