About

This study looks at how some non-Hispanic white adults in the US feel about political violence. The research uses surveys to understand how "replacement thinking," or the fear of being replaced by other groups, and feeling threatened can lead to supporting violence. It highlights the importance of addressing these fears to reduce support for violence, a public health concern.
