Interestingly enough, agoraphobic and nonagoraphobic women use similar advice and sometimes strategies for managing their fear in public places and for handling public harassment.
1995, Carol Brooks Gardner, Passing By: Gender and Public Harassment, page 38Gelfond (1991) reported that more than half (55%) of the average nonagoraphobic women in her study scored in the clinical range for agoraphobia. these nonagoraphobic women were similar to agoraphobic women in terms of high feminine gender identification and negative attitudes or reluctance about traveling alone or going out at night (Gelfond, 1991).
