مستخلص: A survey of 438 college students one week after the World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist attacks reveals patterns of behavioral patriotism, presidential approval, and levels of support for military retaliation and a theoretical re-instatement of the draft. Party identification, how strongly one felt affected by the attack, amount of attention paid to the media, acceptance of the ?Pearl Harbor? analogy and respondents? sex are tested as predictors presidential approval, behavioral patriotism (i.e. displaying flags, wearing patriotic clothing, purchasing patriotic ornaments), as well as support for various ?wartime? policies. Results are discussed in terms of historical significance and consequences for democratic politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
