Does a person’s age affect their level of fear after a terror

movie?

1

We were thinking that the opinion of people about a terror movie might depend on the person’s age.

Therefore we make an investigation in the affect on the level of fear on a person after a terror move. To know more we research about 1Epinephrine.

We predict that the older people will be more vulnerable to fear than a teenager.
