We at the Solomon Asch Center for the Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict worry about refugees, what causes ethnic conflicts and how to resolve them. Sept. 11 added something important to our agenda: What is the optimal response to the type of threat posed to America and its allies by militant Islamic fundamentalism? Fortunately, research psychology can shed some light on responses to terrorism.

Professors Paul Rozin and Clark McCauley ask how far we are willing to go to reduce the risks of terrorism.
