Abstract

Abstract An experimental analysis of fear and safety was conducted on 13 mildly claustrophobic Ss. Panics or near-panics occurred on 67 out of 258 trials. Roughly two-thirds were correctly predicted, but there was a high rate of over-prediction. Panics were followed by increases in predicted fear but not in reported fear. Unexpected panics contributed more to the observed changes than did expected panics. Disconfirmed expectations of panic were followed by reductions in fear. Escape behaviour was associated with panics, high fear and low safety.
