From the Paper:

"A team at Carnegie Mellon University conducted a study immediately following September 11 to assess the public reaction and to assess the role that the media played in this reaction (Thomas, 2002). The sample consisted of 1,000 American men, women, and teens aged 13-88. This was a groundbreaking study that assessed the role that the media played in influencing public opinion and support for the war. This study revealed four conclusions. They are that people who experience anger are more optimistic about the future than are those who experience fear. They are less likely to take precautionary actions and more likely to favor aggressive policy responses. Men were more likely to experience fear than women."
