Terror, Interstate Conflict, and Peace: How Different Forms of Violence Shape Foreign Policy Attitudes

The study examines public attitudes and support for foreign security policy during a period of relative calm following the ongoing conflict that began on October 7, with the aim of understanding how citizens perceive security threats and how these perceptions shape policy preferences outside periods of active fighting. The research is designed to be conducted responsibly, with full attention to informed consent, participant privacy, and the careful presentation of security-related information. Given the dynamic security context, it is noted that in the event of a significant escalation, participants may be re-contacted within the same study framework through the survey company’s panel system. Research Question: How do citizens perceive security threats and how these perceptions influence their views on foreign security policies when they are not under immediate exposure to active fighting?
