In her second year of study on the subject of fear, researchers at Chapman University conducted a random sampling of more than 1,500 US adults last spring and recently published the results. We asked participants what scared them on a variety of topics ranging from crime, government, disaster, personal anguish, technology and many others. The advanced research team of this effort pared the information into four basic categories :. personal fears, natural disasters, fears and behavior of drivers of the paranormal fear

You can read about all the fears and see infographics. We have included a list of 10 concerns with the highest percentage of Americans who reported being "afraid" or

  • Corruption of government officials "very afraid." - 58.0%
