Innateness versus expectation in human fears: Causal versus maintaining factors?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 18 (2):298-299 (1995)
Abstract
This commentary focuses upon two issues raised by Davey's target article: (1) whether there are certain core features of stimuli we learn to fear, rather than specific types of objects or situations, which implies some element of innateness; and (2) whether expectancy biases serve to maintain rather than generate anxiety.Other Versions
