Terrorism causes emotional reactions among public audiences, with downstream consequences for their well-being, attitudes and policy preferences. We utilise a novel approach which harnesses a unique dataset of Twitter activity from 324K users to precisely capture emotional responses to terrorism. Our results demonstrate that terrorist attacks induce dramatic spikes in various discrete emotions of a negative valence, which vary based on the characteristics of the attacks. Furthermore, we show that the terrorism-induced effects on emotions are accompanied by changes in feelings about immigration.
恐怖主义在公众群体中引发情绪反应，对他们的幸福、态度和政策偏好产生下游影响。我们采用了一种新颖的方法，利用来自32.4万用户的独特推特活动数据集，精确捕捉对恐怖主义的情绪反应。我们的结果表明，恐怖袭击会在各种负性离散情绪中引发急剧飙升，这些情绪会因袭击的特征而有所不同。此外，我们还表明，恐怖主义对情绪的影响伴随着对移民看法的变化。
