Detailed explanation-1: -Two-process model: Developed by Mowrer (1960), this suggests that phobias are acquired through learning. Phobias are acquired initially by classical conditioning (learning by association). If an unpleasant emotion is paired with a stimulus, then the two become associated with each other through conditioning.
Detailed explanation-2: -The psychological theories of stress gradually evolved from the Theory of Emotion (James-Lange), The Emergency Theory (Cannon-Bard), and to the Theory of Emotion (Schachter-Singer).
Detailed explanation-3: -Three types are distinguished: harm, threat, and challenge (Lazarus and Folkman 1984). Harm refers to the (psychological) damage or loss that has already happened. Threat is the anticipation of harm that may be imminent. Challenge results from demands that a person feels confident about mastering.
Detailed explanation-4: -The best treatment for specific phobias is a form of psychotherapy called exposure therapy.
