An article distributed by HealthDay news service reports on research conducted by Mark Seery, assistant professor of psychology, that looks at how people's reaction to the 9/11 terrorist attacks depended, in part, on their gender and ethnicity. "Our findings demonstrate that men and whites were more likely to adopt a problem-focused approach to coping with trauma, while women and those of non-white ethnicity were more likely to adopt an emotion-based approach," he said. The article appeared in a number of newspapers, as well as health feeds at television stations throughout the nation, including stations in Albany, Las Vegas, Cleveland, Tucson and Indianapolis.
