?:abstract
  • Studies about Islamist inspired terror attacks in Europe identified a recently declining impact among a broader audience and suggest that terrorism has been “normalized”. How does normalization work? I argue that it can work through information and emotion. Informational normalization occurs when audiences expect an attack, hence changes in attitudes become unnecessary. Emotional normalization occurs when audiences lose sensitivity to attacks, tempering emotional arousal. To assess these claims, I analyze a panel survey conducted around the Berlin Christmas Market attack in 2016 and account for baseline information, an approach not used before. I find that attitudes like trust in government, national identification and views of Islam remain unchanged. Sadness, fear and anger are heightened for up to three days after the attack. The German audience may thus have expected an attack, but still be sensitive to it. (xsd:string)
