News Accounts of bin Laden's Death

Caption

Study participants rated the intensity of moods and emotions triggered by their reading of brief news accounts, including one that described the killing of Osama bin Laden by US forces as a retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a second experiment, the Osama bin Laden passage was altered to remove wording that explicitly described the killing as retaliation for the 9/11 attacks.
