Abstract

The current study investigated the extent to which aggression and psychoneurological dysfunctions are associated with fear of terrorism among US and Korean participants. Findings revealed that fear of terrorism was positively correlated with alexithymia in US participants, limbic system dysfunction in Korean participants, and aggression in participants from both countries.
