Characteristics
Behavioural
Panic

Explanation
The two-process model
Acquisition by classical conditioning
Associating phobic stimulus with something that triggers a fear response
Watson 1920
Little Albert
1. White rat= NS, No response
2. Loud noise= UCS, fear response= UCR
3. White rat and loud noise= UCS, fear response= UCR
4. White rat= CS, fear response= CR
Maintenance by operant conditioning
Negative reinforcement
Avoidance of phobic stimulus= reduction in fear
Not a reward, but a preferred situation
Behaviourist approach
Evaluation
Application to therapy
Avoidance may not be result of anxiety reduction
Positive feelings of safety
Incomplete explanation
Role of evolutionary factors
Phobias may be result of innate predisposition to fear certain things
The dark would have been worthy of fear in the past (predators) even if it no longer is
Not all phobias follow trauma
Doesn't take cognitions into account
Treatment

No anxiety hierarchy
Eventually worn out by fear response
