Abstract

From Columbine to Sandy Hook to Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the American public has repeatedly witnessed the carnage and tragic consequences of mass school shootings. Using a national survey of American adults (N = 1,100) conducted between May 30 and June 6, 2018 in the aftermath of the Parkland tragedy, this project explores public opinion on why these events occur. Informed by sociological scholarship on social movements and framing, the analysis shows that the public endorses both gun and non-gun attributional frames for school shootings. What appears to most strongly influence the resonance of both types of attributional frames, by affecting their narrative fidelity, is racial resentment, seeing the world as dangerous, and ideological beliefs. The attributional frames that respondents endorse, in turn, serve as “anchors” for their social action beliefs—or vocabularies of motive—with gun attributions increasing both confidence in and support for the #NeverAgain movement.

作为锚的归因:公众如何解释学校枪击事件及其重要性

摘要

从哥伦拜恩到桑迪胡克,再到玛乔丽·斯通曼·道格拉斯,美国公众一再目睹大规模校园枪击事件的屠杀和悲惨后果。使用美国成年人的全国调查(N = 1,100)在帕克兰悲剧发生后于 2018 年 5 月 30 日至 6 月 6 日期间进行,该项目探讨了公众对这些事件发生原因的看法。根据有关社会运动和框架的社会学学术研究,分析表明,公众支持学校枪击事件的枪支和非枪支归因框架。似乎最强烈地影响这两种归因框架的共鸣,通过影响他们的叙述真实性,是种族怨恨、将世界视为危险的和意识形态信仰。反过来,受访者认可的归因框架可以作为他们社会行动信念或动机词汇的“锚”,枪支归因增加了对#NeverAgain运动的信心和支持。
