After the attacks on 9/11, Muslims in the United States were the targets of increased surveillance by law enforcement on the basis of their religious identity, often resulting in mistreatment and unjustified imprisonment. The current study examined ideologies that are associated with Islamophobia and support for police surveillance of Muslims, as well as specific types of intergroup threat perceptions that mediate these relationships. Participants (N = 603) completed a survey measuring Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), Right-wing Authoritarianism (RWA), Nationalism, intergroup threat perceptions, Islamophobia, and support for an anti-Muslim police surveillance policy. Results demonstrated that higher levels of SDO, RWA, and Nationalism were each independently associated with Islamophobia through increased realistic, symbolic, and terroristic threat perceptions. Further, higher levels of Islamophobia mediated the relationships between each type of perceived threat and support for a Muslim surveillance policy. This comprehensive model of anti-Muslim bias highlights the relative, independent effects of ideology and threat perceptions on anti-Muslim prejudice and discrimination. Findings hold implications for the use of threat-based language and stereotyping in policy decisions, particularly among those high in SDO, RWA, and Nationalism.

监视威胁：意识形态和威胁认知在支持伊斯兰恐惧症政策中的作用

9/11 袭击事件发生后，美国的穆斯林因其宗教身份而成为执法部门加强监视的目标，常常导致虐待和无理监禁。当前的研究调查了与伊斯兰恐惧症相关的意识形态和对警察监视穆斯林的支持，以及调解这些关系的特定类型的群体间威胁感知。参与者（N= 603) 完成了一项衡量社会支配取向 (SDO)、右翼威权主义 (RWA)、民族主义、群体间威胁感知、伊斯兰恐惧症以及对反穆斯林警察监视政策的支持的调查。结果表明，更高水平的 SDO、RWA 和民族主义通过增加的现实、象征和恐怖主义威胁感知分别与伊斯兰恐惧症独立相关。此外，更高水平的伊斯兰恐惧症调节了每种类型的感知威胁与支持穆斯林监视政策之间的关系。这种反穆斯林偏见的综合模型突出了意识形态和威胁认知对反穆斯林偏见和歧视的相对独立影响。调查结果对在政策决策中使用基于威胁的语言和刻板印象有影响，
