16. Which of theses statements were not put forward by Seligman (1971) for a biological explanation of anxiety disorders?

  • Its proposed that phobias of such things require less input to develop than phobias of more modern objects (e.g.. cars; toasters) evolution hasn't "taught' us to be fearful of. Phobias, are not random- rather, they reflect what has helped us survive.
  • It is suggested that those who responded with fear to such things as spiders, snakes and lightening were the ones to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation.
  • Phobias are seen as the result of irrational or unhelpful thought patterns. People with phobias have greater expectations that they will experience (a) fear and (b) harm if they encounter the stimulus to their phobia.
  • If avoidance behaviour is adaptive in this way (i.e. it helps someone to survive) then maybe our phobias of snakes, spiders, lightening etc, should be seen as evolutionary relics/ inheritances.
