Nine months after Sept. 11, Americans are concerned about further attacks but are ready to watch movies and TV shows with fictional terrorism or violent themes. Those are the topline findings of the latest survey on post-Sept. 11 consumer attitudes from Initiative Media North America.

The Internet survey of 500 respondents was conducted during the first weekend in June. The study is part of a series of surveys that Initiative has done since Sept. 11 to gauge consumers’ shifting points of view on the programs they watch.

Nearly one out of three respondents said they were concerned that terrorist activity will personally affect them or their families in the next five years.
