Scared selfish: a culture of fear's values in the age of terrorism

Article Abstract:

Some cognitive effects of fear induced by victimization are explored to explain America's reaction to the events of 9/11. With the use of reliable measures of value orientations, it is found that exposure to violence produces a shift in value orientations toward values that are more self-enhancing.
