Some types of terrorist acts affect people much more than others. Islamist violence apparently produces the strongest counter-reactions.

Many studies have investigated how terrorism affects people. A new, large meta-study has compiled the results of 325 previous studies to tease out some overall results across contexts. The meta-study includes responses from more than 400 000 people.

“To a certain extent, terrorism is connected with hostile attitudes towards other ethnic groups, political conservatism and increased patriotism toward the state,” says Amélie Godefroidt, a postdoctoral fellow in NTNU’s Department of Sociology and Political Science.

Terrorism thus contributes – admittedly to a small but still significant degree – to the fact that individuals develop stronger prejudices against cultures other than their own and rally around what they perceive as traditional values of their own culture.
