Abstract

Abstract Although the threat of terrorism remains a high priority among Americans, no study has explored the regional differences in perceptions of terrorism in the United States. In order to address the current gap in the literature, the present research specifically examines the fear and risk perceptions of college students regarding the threat of terrorism. The research sample consisted of 1,384 undergraduate students from three major regional universities in the United States. Bivariate and multivariate analyses of the collected data yielded significant regional differences, and uncovered several associations and predictors, such as political identity, that previous studies have not revealed.

Z世代对恐怖主义的看法:一项跨地区研究

尽管恐怖主义威胁在美国人当中仍然是一个高度优先的问题，但没有研究探讨美国人对恐怖主义看法的地区差异。为了解决目前文献中的差距，本研究专门研究了大学生对恐怖主义威胁的恐惧和风险认知。研究样本包括来自美国三所主要地区大学的1384名本科生。对收集到的数据进行的双变量和多变量分析产生了显著的地区差异，并揭示了一些关联和预测因素，如政治认同，这是以前的研究没有揭示的。

期刊介绍： Terrorism and insurgency are now the dominant forms of conflict in the world today. Fuelled by moribund peace processes, ethnic and religious strife, disputes over natural resources, and transnational organized crime, these longstanding security challenges have become even more violent and intractable: posing new threats to international peace and stability. Studies in Conflict and Terrorism aims to cast new light on the origins and implications of conflict in the 21st Century and to illuminate new approaches and solutions to countering the growth and escalation of contemporary sub-state violence.
