ABSTRACT

This paper presents the results of the first-ever representative survey on the demographic and attitudinal legacies of the Armenian genocide. The data, collected in 2018, maps the varied geographical origins of the citizens of contemporary Armenia and traces their links to the genocide. Around half of contemporary Armenians descend from refugees of the genocide, while about a third had family members killed. The data also inform debates on how violence transforms societies. Respondents who lost family members during the genocide show elevated levels of ethnocentrism, and lower levels of prosocial behaviour. However, rather than victimization being associated with militarism and hawkishness, the same individuals tend to be less supportive of military solutions. Even though the genocide took place more than a century ago, its demographic and attitudinal legacies remain clearly visible in contemporary Armenia.

摘要

本文介绍了对亚美尼亚种族灭绝的人口和态度遗产进行的首次代表性调查的结果。这些数据于 2018 年收集，描绘了当代亚美尼亚公民的不同地理起源，并追溯了他们与种族灭绝的联系。大约一半的当代亚美尼亚人是种族灭绝难民的后裔，而大约三分之一的人的家人被杀。这些数据还为关于暴力如何改变社会的辩论提供了信息。在种族灭绝期间失去家人的受访者表现出更高水平的种族中心主义和更低水平的亲社会行为。然而，这些人并没有将受害与军国主义和鹰派联系在一起，而是往往不太支持军事解决方案。尽管种族灭绝发生在一个多世纪以前，
