“…In the winter of 1993, Bar-Tal, Jacobson, and Freund (1995) investigated the extent to which the tendency to feel insecurity is determined by life in a community. This research attempted to ascertain whether membership in a small community assumes primacy over demographic and personal factors in structuring security beliefs and the resulting security feelings.…”

Dans cet article. on suggere que les problemes de sCcuritC a fondement politique devraient aussi &tre analyses d'un point de vue psychologique.Puisque les individus evaluent le niveau de sCcuritC a travers des processus cognitifs, les rksultats sont subjectifs. Les representations concernant la securitC sont construites a partir d'une menace perque dans l'environnement, menace que l'individu craint d'avoir du ma1 a affronter. Deux Ctudes poursuivies en Israel. oh le probleme de la securitC est aigu. montrent B quel point les individus vivent diffkremment I'insecurite et indiquent que plusieurs facteurs influencent les representations relatives a la securitk. Ces donnees indiquent que des Cvknements reels, militaires, politiques, ou economiques. doivent Ctre perqus pour devenir un aspect de la realit6 personnelle: les Cvknements exterieurs sont compris et interpret& subjectivement. Notre approche accorde une importance particulikre a la psychologie politique dans I'Ctude des problemes de s6curitC. This paper suggests that politically rooted security problems should also be analysed from a psychological perspective. As individuals evaluate the level of security via cognitive processes, the outcomes are subjective. Security beliefs are formed on the basis of the perception of threat in the environment with which the individual perceives a difficulty in coping. Two studies performed in Israel. where the security problem is acute. illustrate how differently individuals experience insecurity, and how different factors influence beliefs about security. These results indicate that while military, political, or economic events are real, they have to be perceived in order to become part of the individual's reality: external events are subjectively interpreted and understood. This approach assigns special importance to political psychology in studying security problems.Requests for reprints should be sent t o Daniel Bar-Tat. School of Education.

“…Demographic factors have been shown to have an impact on the attitudes and perceptions of individuals with regard to certain types of stressful events. For example, females perceived themselves more likely than males to be potential victims of crime, terrorist attacks and war (Arian and Gordon, 1993;BarTal et al, 1995;Ferraro, 1996). Men perceived themselves more able to cope with the possibility of a severe genetic illness than women (Taylor, 2005).…”

The relationship between demographic/educational parameters and perceptions, knowledge and earthquake mitigation in Israel

et al. 2010

Perceptions, knowledge and mitigation are factors that might play a role in preventing injury and loss of life during a major earthquake.(2) Little is known about the relationships between different demographic and educational parameters and these factors. A national representative sample of 495 adults was investigated in order to determine the relationship between demographic and educational parameters in terms of the perceived threat, perceived coping, knowledge and mitigation of earthquakes in Israel. Compared to females, males perceived the threat of earthquakes to be lower (t = 3.183, p = 0.002), manifested higher levels of perceived coping (t = 2.55, p = 0.011), and had higher levels of earthquake related knowledge (t = 2.047, p = 0.041). We conclude that there are gender differences in perceptions and knowledge regarding earthquakes.

“…According to economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes (2010), the U.S. debt went from $6.4 trillion in March 2003 to $10 trillion in 2008 with at least a quarter due to the Iraq war. Since 2001, the country has spent roughly $40 billion on airport security by otie estimate and has levied even greater costs on the traveling public in terms of their time and personal inconvenience (Bandyk, 2010). Americans' civil liberties have been eroded in numerous ways by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001 through the authorization of wiretapping of a suspect's phone calls and e-mails, govemment access to a suspect's medical, library, and financial records, and the detention without legal representation of citizens under suspicion (Whitehead & Aden, 2002).…”

The 9/11 terrorist attacks have had profound effect on U.S. domestic and foreign security policy, leading to several expensive wars and the erosion of civil liberties (under the USA PATRIOT Act). We review evidence on political reactions to the 9/11 attacks and conclude that subjective reactions to terrorism played an important role in shaping support for national security policy in the wake of 9/11. Support for a strong national security policy was most pronounced among Americans who perceived the nation as at threat from terrorism and felt angry at terrorists. In contrast, Americans who were personally affected by the attacks were more likely to feel anxious about terrorism, and this anxiety translated into less support for overseas military action. In addition, Americans who felt insecure after the 9/11 attacks and perceived a high future threat of terrorism were more likely than others to support strong foreign and domestic national security policies. Overall, research on American political reactions to 9/11 suggests that support for a strong government response to terrorism is most likely when members of a population perceive a high risk of future terrorism and feel angry at terrorists.
