“…This finding was eerily similar to the sentiment expressed by Americans toward Japanese Americans in Gallup and other polls conducted following the bombing on Pearl Harbor (Schildkraut, 2002). Kazemi, del Carmen, Dobbs, and Whitehead (2008) conducted a mail survey of Muslims in the Fort Worth, Texas, area. The study examined their views on a host of topics related to their perceptions of the 9/11 attacks, perceptions of fairness in the United States, and numerous aspects of their perceptions of the War on Terror.…”

This article examines the public opinion of randomly selected Pennsylvanians on their support for racial profiling at airports. The 2009 Penn State Poll revealed that most Pennsylvanians felt that profiling was occurring at airports-but did not support the practice. Building on prior research, the research introduced three new measures into the area of public opinion on racial profiling. These included the role of perceived effectiveness, perceived discrimination, and ethical values in influencing public opinion on racial profiling. Respondents who felt racial profiling in airports was effective and was discriminatory were more likely to believe it was occurring. In terms of support for racial profiling, those who felt the practice was discriminatory and unethical were less likely to support it, whereas conversely, those who felt the practice was effective tended to support its use. We argue that the public needs to be better informed about the strategies that have been proven to be most effective in reducing the threat of terrorist attacks.

“…Since September 11, 2001, the allegations regarding racial profiling on the highways has been extended to airports. Arab Americans, people of Middle Eastern descent, and Muslims have expressed the belief that they are being targeted for additional scrutiny at airports (Elliot, 2006;Halter, 2002) and elsewhere (Kazemi, del Carmen, Dobbs, & Whitehead, 2008). Whether this was true has been subject to debate, but things have changed a bit as the airline security concerns of the 1960s and 1970s subsided (Persico & Todd, 2005).…”

This article explores citizens' views on racial profiling at airports. A recent Gallup poll allowed for analyses of the perception of Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites concerning whether they felt racial profiling at airports was widespread and/or justified. Multivariate analyses revealed that Blacks were more likely than Whites to believe profiling at airports was widespread. There were, however, no differences between the opinions of Whites and Hispanics on the extent of profiling in airports. Racial and ethnic minorities were less likely than Whites to believe that profiling at airports was justified. The implications of the results are discussed.

“…The topic of religiosity might be a sensitive one, especially for those who are part of a minority faith group (Kazemi, del Carmen, Dobbs, & Whitehead, 2008) and who are experiencing a developmental phase characterized by rapid formation of independent identity (Arnett, 2000). Recruitment approaches, such as those that take place in open‐air settings or at organized public events that require public identification as a person of faith (e.g., Christian, Jewish, or Muslim) while among a diverse group of peers might be experienced as socially risky; and thereby result in reduced enrollments.…”

“…Data collection approaches such as face‐to‐face focus groups in which participants are asked to disclose information about their experiences to others might negatively affect retention owing to feelings of exposure. These objections may be compounded by the fact that some religious groups fear surveillance and/or discrimination (Kazemi et al, 2008; Rippy & Newman, 2006).…”

The selection of methods that purposefully reflect the norms of the target population increases the likelihood of effective recruitment, data collection, and retention. In the case of research among college students, researchers' appreciation of college student norms might be skewed by unappreciated generational and developmental differences. Our purpose in this article is to illustrate how attention to the generational and developmental characteristics of college students enhanced the methods of the Risk, Religiosity, and Emerging Adulthood study. We address the following challenges related to research with college students: recruitment, communication, data collection, and retention. Solutions incorporating Internet-based applications (e.g., Facebook) and sensitivity to the generational norms of participants (e.g., multiple means of communication) are described in detail.
