Research examines americans’ reactions over time to terrorist attacks
WASHINGTON—Short-term and long-term psychological effects of the 9/11 attacks spread far beyond New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
A team of psychologists examine the social, political and psychological impacts of the nation’s worst terrorist attack in “9/11: Ten Years Later”, a special issue of APA’s flagship journal, American Psychologist®. With a dozen peer-reviewed articles, the issue illustrates how psychology is helping people understand and cope with 9/11’s enduring impacts. It also explores how psychological science has helped us understand the roots of terrorism and how to prevent further attacks.
