Bushman Cited in Two Articles on Email Venting

Brad Bushman

Professor of Communication and Psychology Brad Bushman was cited in Washington Post and Baltimore Sun articles surrounding the recent conversation on cyber security and email controversies. Bushman stated individuals often act impulsively when angry and like the instant gratification provided by digital mediums. He compared this behavior to venting saying, “people love to do it,” and that is why the poor email behavior continues.
