Abstract

This study uses a survey of undergraduate college students at two schools in the eastern United States to investigate whether how they self-classify (e.g. choice of major and political view) effects their levels of trust in the government and how safe they feel in regard to a terror attack. We found that while all of the self-classification variables had an effect on trust in the government, none of them had an effect on feelings of safety.
