| Popis: | Research indicates that concerns about political, social, and economic stability can undermine support for democracy. We extend this literature through a survey experiment implemented in Egypt that tests whether priming respondents on sectarian conflict in the country triggers more negative attitudes toward democracy by increasing perceptions of threat and disorder. Our study returned statistically insignificant results and if anything suggested that Egyptians primed on communal violence between Muslims and Christians became more supportive of democracy. |
