“…Second, they were asked how much they worry about terrorism compared with other day-to-day personal troubles. Previous literature has tended to treat items measuring fear and worry as equivalent, grouping them under the concept of fear (e.g., Alper and Chappell 2012;Andersen and Mayerl 2018;Franklin, Franklin, and Fearn 2008;Gray, Jackson, and Farrall 2008;Jackson 2005;Nellis and Savage 2012;Rader 2004). Other researchers, however, have argued that fear and worry are distinct emotions that should be treated as separate constructs (e.g., Ferraro and LaGrange 1987;Lupton 2000;Warr and Stafford 1983;Williams, McShane, and Akers 2000).…”

“…Most examinations have focused on the role of mass media in generating fear and worry about terrorism (e.g., Altheide 2017;Nellis and Savage 2012). One notable exception is a recent study by Andersen and Mayerl (2018), who examined predictors of worry about terrorism on the basis of the fear of crime literature as well as attitudes toward Muslims using data from a sample of residents of Kaiserslautern, Germany. To our knowledge, similar research has not been conducted with U.S. samples.…”

In the era of 9/11, terrorist attacks occur with sufficient frequency and lethality to constitute a realistic threat to the well-being of the American public. Sensing this concern, politicians emphasize the threat of violent attacks to advance a platform of making public safety a priority. In this context, the authors assess the extent, sources, and emotional impact of the public's concern about terrorism. On the basis of a national survey of 1,000 Americans, the authors examine levels of fear of a terrorist attack and worry about terrorism relative to other potential harms. They also determine whether concern about terrorism translates into support for homeland security measures that target Muslims. Of the predictors in the authors' models, gender, religiosity, and psychological distress were most consistently associated with fear of terrorism and worry about being a victim of a terrorist attack. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that terrorism-related fear and worry predict support for anti-Muslim policies.

“…Some research measured the impact of victimization on fear by gauging the 'person risk assessment'. According to such research, it was calculated that people belonging to certain areas where they experienced situations of criminal victimizations relatively extended feelings of fear of being victims, and some women as compare to men, and orderly people, have more fear of being sexually assaulted and violently killed respectively (Andersen &Mayerl, 2018). Much research has been conducted in this regard of studying fear of crime and terrorism.…”

Terrorism disturbs social integration by creating fear for people of becoming victims of its harmful results. People who exposed to violent conditions and poor socioeconomic conditions relatively develop feelings of anxiety and frustration, and risk of becoming potential victims on social, physical and emotional grounds. After 9/11, with world, Pakistan has observed sporadic series of terrorism and violent extremist bouts which have been analyzed arising from disorderly conditions on political, social, religious and economic levels. Vulnerability of becoming victim of terrorism has equally developed which has deeply affected the emotional response of people to a greater extent. How people perceive the threat of terrorism has not been studied in the Pakistani context on theoretical and methodological levels. It is expected that understanding of this problem will provide better insights for people, policymakers and academicians to devise effective polices for creating chances of peace and healthy environment.

“…Seit dem 11. September 2001 ist die Wahrnehmung von Muslim*innen in der westlichen Welt stark negativ geprägt und mit der Bedrohung durch Terrorismus verbunden (Andersen und Mayerl 2018;Dunwoody und McFarland 2018). Angst vor Terrorismus geht auch in Ländern mit negativen Einstellungen gegenüber Muslim*innen einher, in denen es bislang keine reale Bedrohung durch islamistischen Terrorismus gab, wie z.…”

“…Seit dem 11. September 2001 ist der Islam stark mit der Wahrnehmung terroristischer Bedrohung verbunden und Muslimfeindlichkeit hat in Deutschland, wie auch in anderen Ländern Westeuropas und in den USA, stark zugenommen (Andersen und Mayerl 2018;Dunwoody und McFarland 2018). Dabei werden Muslim*innen in der Regel als eine Bedrohung "von außen" wahrgenommen, also als Angehörige einer Religion, die mit Migrant*innen nach Deutschland gekommen ist und hier die deutsche Kultur sowie Sicherheit und Ordnung bedroht.…”

„Die trägt ja als Deutsche ein Kopftuch“ – Der Einfluss autoritärer Einstellungen auf die Wahrnehmung der Verletzung kultureller Normen

Zusammenfassung Muslimische Symbole werden häufig als eine von außen herangetragene Bedrohung kultureller Werte in Deutschland wahrgenommen. Was geschieht aber, wenn Mitglieder der eigenen Gruppe diese Symbole verwenden? In der vorliegenden Studie sind wir der Frage nachgegangen, wie deutsche Frauen wahrgenommen werden, die das Kopftuch Al-Amira, tragen. Nach dem Black Sheep Effekt werden Normverstöße durch Mitglieder der Eigengruppe stärker geahndet als durch Mitglieder einer Fremdgruppe. Wir nehmen an, dass dies besonders dann gelten sollte, wenn Personen hohe Ausprägungen in autoritären Einstellungen zeigen und daher Normabweichungen als Bedrohung für die Gruppenkohäsion wahrnehmen. In einer online durchgeführten experimentellen Studie präsentierten wir deutschen Teilnehmenden (N = 193, 139 weiblich, 51 männlich, 3 divers; M Alter = 26, SD = 7,64) anhand eines zweifaktoriellen between-participants Designs Fotos von deutschen oder türkischen Frauen mit oder ohne Kopftuch (Al-Amira) und erfassten Autoritarismus als Moderatorvariable. Entsprechend unserer Hypothesen konnten wir zeigen, dass deutsche Proband*innen mit steigenden Ausprägungen in Autoritarismus weniger Vertrauen und weniger Kommunikationsbereitschaft gegenüber deutschen Frauen mit Kopftuch als gegenüber türkischen Frauen mit Kopftuch zeigten. Die Ergebnisse stützen das Verständnis von Normorientierung als zentrales Merkmal von Autoritarismus.
