The upsurge in violent radicalization is associated with a global increase in social inequalities and conflicts related to different markers of identity. To date, literature on the factors associated with legitimizing violence toward others is cross-sectional and does not provide information on the possible change of this phenomenon over time. Such information is necessary to design primary prevention programs that are adapted to and address a rapidly evolving social context. We use a repeated cross-sectional study design to explore the association between sociodemographic characteristics and scores on the Sympathy for Violent Radicalization Scale (SVR) in Quebec (Canada) college students at 2 times points. Results from an online survey completed by students of 6 colleges in 2015 (n = 854) and 2017 (n = 702) indicate that although overall scores on the SVR scale remained stable, there were changes in the association between age, identity, and the outcome at the two time points. Specifically, scores on the SVR were significantly higher among younger students in 2017 than in 2015. In addition, in 2017 we observed a relationship between collective identity and SVR that was not present in 2015. These results align with other recent studies in Canada and the U.S. documenting the emergence of new forms of youth politicized bullying associated with race, ethnicity, and religion. A close monitoring of the phenomenon is warranted to both better understand the impact of populist policies on the increase in hate incidents and crimes and develop programs to address these forms of violence from a public health perspective.

对加拿大大学生暴力激进同情的反复横断面研究。

暴力激进化的高潮与全球社会不平等现象的加剧和与身份认同的不同标志相关的冲突有关。迄今为止，有关将对他人的暴力行为合法化的相关因素的文献是横断面的，并且没有提供有关这种现象可能随着时间变化的信息。这些信息对于设计适应和应对迅速发展的社会环境的初级预防计划是必不可少的。我们使用重复的横断面研究设计来探索社会人口学特征与在加拿大魁北克（加拿大）大学生中的暴力激进化量表（SVR）的得分在2倍点之间的关联。由6所大学在2015年（n = 854）和2017（n = 702）的学生完成的在线调查结果表明，尽管SVR量表的总体评分保持稳定，但年龄，身份和年龄之间的关联有所变化。两个时间点的结果。具体而言，2017年较年轻的学生在SVR上的得分明显高于2015年。此外，在2017年，我们观察到集体认同与SVR之间的关系在2015年不存在。这些结果与加拿大和加拿大最近进行的其他研究一致美国记录了新形式青年的出现，使与种族，种族和宗教有关的欺凌政治化。有必要对这一现象进行密切监测，以更好地了解民粹主义政策对仇恨事件和犯罪活动增加的影响，并制定从公共卫生角度解决这些形式暴力的方案。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
