Public concerns about terrorist threats amid Vietnam's high-tech boom

This study analyzed 1200 samples from the 2020 World Values Survey in Vietnam. Ordinal logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression were used to explore the impact of seven sociodemographic variables on concerns about terrorist attacks, including sex, age, education level, occupation group, social class, income level and religion. Additionally, the Spearman rank correlation test was employed to examine whether there is a significant relationship between concerns about terrorist attacks and perceptions of technological development. The results indicated that different gender, educational level, occupation, income, and religious beliefs significantly influence concerns about terrorism. Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between those who do not believe that technological development will lead to a better life and heightened concerns about terrorist attacks. Thus, when implementing policies to reduce the insecurity of Vietnam citizens, in addition to taking into account relevant demographic factors, it would be advisable to consider incorporating strategies that enhance positive perceptions of high technology.
