Explanation:

1. Fear of nuclear attack: The arms race, especially nuclear proliferation between superpowers, created widespread public fear of nuclear conflict.
2. Building of large numbers of fallout shelters: To prepare for potential nuclear strikes, governments and private citizens constructed fallout shelters as a defensive measure.
3. Increased study of science and math: The competition of the arms race drove investment in STEM fields to develop advanced weapons and technology.
4. Heightened world tensions: The buildup of military capabilities between rival blocs escalated global political and military tensions.

Space cooperation and increased East-West trade were not typical effects of the arms race; the era was defined by rivalry, not these collaborative trends.

Answer:

• fear of nuclear attack
• building of large numbers of fallout shelters
• increased study of science and math
• heightened world tensions
