Objectives

Estimate the impact of October 7^th on fear, antagonism, and harassment towards Jewish members of universities.

Methods

The study is based on a survey experiment conducted with 201 Jewish individuals at universities in Northern America and Europe. Respondents were asked about their exposure to hate, and about their comfort level conducting several activities. However, we randomly manipulated whether each respondent was asked about the weeks before October 7^th, the weeks thereafter, or about recent weeks. Because of random assignment, estimates are conservative and are less sensitive to bias.

Results

We found high levels of hate prior to October 7^th, which were exacerbated significantly afterwards. Most respondents no longer feel comfortable expressing their culture or conducting several daily activities.

Conclusions

Respondents are being harmed for their identity and because of a conflict which is outside of their control. They also believe their host institutions have been ineffective in addressing their safety concerns.

2023 年 10 月 7 日如何改变大学犹太成员的恐惧和仇恨：一份研究报告

 目标

估计 10 月 7^日对大学犹太成员的恐惧、敌对和骚扰的影响。

 方法

该研究基于对北美和欧洲大学的 201 名犹太人进行的调查实验。受访者被问及他们接触仇恨的情况，以及他们进行多项活动的舒适度。然而，我们随机操纵了每位受访者是否被问及 10 月 7^日之前的几周、之后的几周或最近几周的情况。由于随机分配，估计值是保守的并且对偏差不太敏感。

 结果

我们发现 10 月 7^日之前仇恨程度较高，此后仇恨程度显着加剧。大多数受访者不再愿意表达自己的文化或进行一些日常活动。

 结论

受访者因其身份和超出其控制范围的冲突而受到伤害。他们还认为，他们的主办机构在解决他们的安全问题方面效率不高。
