What seems to be happening is more inflows into index funds as time goes on from the articles I've seen. Most people, so far, seem to be keeping their heads and even loading up during downturns (buying low).
The other thing with index funds is that they're often automated (e.g., monthly saving for retirement), so a lot of folks aren't actually looking at their portfolios (generally a good thing), and so are going on with their daily lives regardless of financial headlines.
