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.

恐怖袭击后特定性别的行为发生变化

恐怖分子使用暴力来追求政治目标。虽然恐怖活动往往对受害者造成严重后果，但恐怖袭击如何影响普通民众仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。我们研究受 7 美元不同恐怖袭击影响的城市公民的行为反应。我们将恐怖袭击后最初 24 小时内的实时移动通信模式与没有恐怖袭击的日子里的相应模式进行比较。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显着增加。了解恐怖袭击后公民的行为反应模式可能对袭击期间和袭击后的公众反应具有重要意义。
