“…Perceived socioemotional climate in participants' country following the terrorist attack was assessed with a set of eight items extracted and adapted to the post-terrorist context from two different instruments: The Emotional Climate Scale (Páez et al, 1997) and The Climate Dimension Scale (de Rivera, 1992;de Rivera et al, 2007). Participants were asked to assess their agreement with statements related to the positive socioemotional climate (i.e., people's institutional trust, manifestation of confidence and cooperation between the various social groups, manifestation of solidarity and mutual helping between people and people's hope about the future) and to the negative socioemotional climate (i.e., feeling insecure because of the amount of recent violence, being afraid of saying of what people really think, feeling of anger and hostility, being afraid and despaired).…”

Terrorism is one of the most frightful large-scale societal threats nowadays. The January 7, 2015 Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris shattered French's sense of security. The present research investigates French citizen's (N = 160) terrorist threat perception (personal vs. collective), behavioral changes, social sharing of emotions and perceived socioemotional climate using the social stage model of collective coping with disasters (Pennebaker & Harber, 1993). This study was conducted by a questionnaire at three points of time (i.e., one week, one month and two month) following the attack. The results suggest that terrorist threat perception has not decreased across time at the personal level nor at the collective level. However, the extent of social sharing of emotions and the positive socioemotional climate decreased from the initial emergency stage to the subsequent adaptation stage. Such findings point to the importance of taking temporality into account to provide better understanding of lay people's responses to terrorism.Keywords: Terrorism; threat perception; behavioral changes; social sharing of emotion; socioemotional climate Le terrorisme est l'une des menaces sociétales à grande échelle les plus effroyables de nos jours. L'attaque terroriste de Charlie Hebdo du 7 janvier 2015 à Paris a ébranlé le sentiment de sécurité des Français. La présente recherche examine la perception de la menace terroriste (personnelle vs. collective), les changements comportementaux, le partage social des émotions et le climat socio-émotionnel perçu auprès des citoyens français (N = 160) en se basant sur le modèle des étapes sociales de coping collectif avec les catastrophes (Pennebaker & Harber, 1993). Cette étude a été conduite par questionnaire à trois points temporels (c.-à-d., une semaine, un mois et deux mois) après l'attaque. Les résultats suggèrent que la perception de la menace terroriste n'a pas diminué à travers le temps, ni au niveau personnel, ni au niveau collectif. Toutefois, l'ampleur du partage social des émotions et du climat socio-émotionnel positif perçu a diminué entre la phase initiale d'urgence et la phase ultérieur d'adaptation. Ces résultats soulignent l'importance de la prise en compte de la temporalité pour une meilleure compréhension des réponses des personnes au terrorisme.

“…The scale from which these last two variables derived, the Political-Emotional Climate Scale, deserves special 6 S. Conejero et al comment. This scale was adapted from the Emotional Climate Scale by Páez et al (1997) in accordance with both the dimensions of the concept of emotional climate described by de Rivera (1992), and the specific characteristics of the Basque political situation. This new scale consisted of 18 items (4 of which were excluded) and asked participants to assess the social climate in Basque Country.…”

Gender Differences in Emotions, Forgiveness and Tolerance in Relation to Political Violence

Abstract. This study, which forms part of a broader research project, analyzes gender differences in: the intensity of diverse emotions, the justification of violence, attitudes towards the terrorist group ETA, forgiveness and tolerance. Participants comprised 728 people (45.5% men and 54.5% women) resident in either Basque Country or Navarra (Spain), representative of all national identities and political ideologies existing in this context. An ad hoc questionnaire was designed and administered between November 2005 and February 2006, a short time before ETA declared a ceasefire. Women reported more intensity in fear for political reasons and scored higher in two of the six measures of empathy included in the study (empathy with prisoners and empathy with those who suffer and think like oneself). Men scored higher in positive emotionality, indifference and Schadenfreude. Women perceived apology and forgiveness as more necessary elements for achieving peace than men. These results suggest that it may be beneficial for women to play a more prominent role in relation to the resolution of intergroup conflicts such as the one existing in the Basque Country.

“…For example, students from Nicaragua and Honduras report more insecurity than students in Spain, and those from Spain report more insecurity than those from the United States (de Rivera, 2002). Likewise, students in regions and nations where there is political turmoil, such as Pais Vasco and Argentina, report that there is significantly more anger and passive sadness, as well as less tranquility in speaking, than students in Belgium (Paez et al, 1997). However, we cannot be sure about the degree to which college students reflect a national emotional climate.…”

Societies seem to have emotional climates that affect how people feel and act in public situations. Unlike the emotions experienced in an individual's personal life, these modal feelings reflect a collective response to the socio-economic-political situation of the society and influence how most people behave toward one another and their government. A government may foster a climate of fear to ensure social control, or it may encourage the formation of heterogeneous social groups to facilitate a climate of trust between people from different groups. On one hand, emotional climates may be viewed as reflecting the relative peacefulness or violence of a society. Thus, an assessment of emotional climate may provide a subjective index of human security to complement objective measures of democracy, human rights, equality, and other factors that we presume are beneficial to human welfare. On the other hand, we may view emotional climates as influences that act to further or to impede the development of the culture of peace advocated by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Thus, their assessment may have predictive power, and measuring a society's emotional climate may help us to create desirable policy. In this article we show that it is possible to measure some important aspects of the emotional climates of three nations that have different degrees of a culture of peace: Norway, the United States, and India. We show that estimates of the collective emotions that constitute climate can be distinguished from reports of personal emotions in that the former are more influenced by nation and the latter by social class. It is the subjective experience of national emotional climate, rather than personal emotional experience, that appears most related to objective indices for the culture of peace in the different nations.By an emotional climate, we mean a collective emotional field that is objective in the sense that it is experienced as "out there," in the same way that another person's anger or love is experienced as out there rather than in one's self.
