Manipulation of Avoidance Behavior As A Function of Increased or Decreased Demand On Repeated Behavioral Tests
Bernstein, Douglas A.
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 42, 6, 896-900, Dec 74
Five groups of 15 female subjects reporting fear of snakes participated in two behavioral avoidance tests employing a snake as the target object. Results are discussed both in terms of implications for psychotherapy outcome research design and possible usefulness of situational variables in the development of more effective anxiety-reduction techniques.
