As the United States aggressively pursues transnational terrorists, what value does the American public put on the United States' reputation abroad? This project investigated the American public's opinion about the United States' reputation and influence abroad, and their willingness to bear costs---in terms of damaged reputation and influence---in order to feel secure. Data were collected via an on-line survey experiment. I created six different scenarios in which I manipulated the way a threat was described and the way the costs associated with a policy response were described. The threat description varied by either including specific information about a domestic threat or presenting an ambiguous warning about a global threat. After reading the threat description, subjects were asked to select the best response to that threat from a menu of four increasingly aggressive policy options. Descriptions of the potential costs associated with each of these four options varied in three ways: descriptions that emphasized non-material, reputational costs, descriptions that emphasized material costs only, or had no information about potential costs at all. I found that if the costs associated with policy options were framed as damage done to U.S. reputation and diplomatic relationships, people were less likely to pursue more aggressive options.
