title = "U.S. Beliefs about the Causes of Terrorism: An Application of Attribution Theory",
abstract = "This study examined what U.S. residents perceived to be the causes of terrorism and the influence of news media exposure on those beliefs. Examination was guided by Attribution Theory. Data were collected via a nationwide web survey administered in October 2017. Respondents were 444 U.S. adults who listed what they perceived as the causes of terrorism in response to an open-ended survey item. Respondents were more likely to make internal attributions for terrorism than external attributions. Religious beliefs were the most common internal attribution, followed by hatred and mental illness. Hispanics were substantially less likely to make internal attributions than either Whites or Blacks. Respondents with more frequent exposure to terrorism news from local television were less likely to make external attributions than those with less exposure through this medium. More frequent exposure to terrorism news on websites or apps was associated with increased likelihood of making external attributions.",

note = "Funding Information: The research was kindly supported by the Grant Agency of the Czech Republic (the project with title Socio-spatial diffusion of renewable energy projects in the Czech Republic, No. 16-04483S) and by the COST Action 1401 Renewable Energy and Landscape Quality (RELY), which is kindly supported by the Horizon2020 programme. Funding Information: It is clear that agricultural biogas stations have a significant potential to influence the quality of life and local development in positive and negative terms (Darnhofer 2005, Plieninger et al., 2006, Martinat and Ture{\v c}kov{\'a}, 2016). The massive subsidy support of the Government of the Czech Republic for renewable energy, was a consequence of a commitment towards to the European Union of producing 13.5% electricity from renewable sources by 2020 (National Action Plan for Development Renewable Energy, 2010). AD plants have become a significant alternative income for farmers in times when their revenues from traditional agricultural activities are declining. Despite original policy ambitions, it is less clear to what extent AD plants have been an effective tool for limiting the impacts of climate change or for local development support (Dole{\v z}alov{\'a} et al., 2009, 2014a, 2014b, {\v Z}enka et al., 2016 or Duzi et al., 2017). It is therefore important to research also the attitudes and views of farmers on this significant change in the use of agricultural land (Frant{\'a}l and Prousek 2016, Silva and Delicado, 2017). This change is related to a pan-European approach to the use of renewable energy resources and the limitation of the use of traditional resources of energy. The theoretical conceptualization of this problem for example can be found in the concept of energy transition (Van der Horst, 2014, Frant{\'a}l et al., 2014 or Bridge et al., 2016).
