论文摘要
恐怖分子利用暴力来追求政治目标。尽管恐怖通常对受害者造成严重后果,但仍然是一个悬而未决的问题,恐怖袭击如何影响普通民众。我们研究受$ 7 $不同恐怖袭击影响的城市公民的行为反应。我们将恐怖袭击后的最初24美元小时内的实时移动通信模式与没有恐怖袭击的天数中的相应模式进行了比较。在平常的日子里,女性和男性参与者的活动模式不同。然而,在恐怖袭击之后,我们观察到性别差异的显着增加。关于恐怖袭击后公民行为反应模式的知识可能对袭击期间和之后的公众反应具有重要意义。
Terrorists use violence in pursuit of political goals. While terror often has severe consequences for victims, it remains an open question how terror attacks affect the general population. We study the behavioral response of citizens of cities affected by $7$ different terror attacks. We compare real-time mobile communication patterns in the first $24$ hours following a terror attack to the corresponding patterns on days with no terror attack. On ordinary days, the group of female and male participants have different activity patterns. Following a terror attack, however, we observe a significant increase of the gender differences. Knowledge about citizens' behavior response patterns following terror attacks may have important implications for the public response during and after an attack.
