摘要: This study replicates previous findings of a covariation bias in high-fear (panic-prone) individuals. High-fear, but not low-fear participants markedly overestimated the contingency between fear-relevant stimuli (FR, emergency situations) and an aversive outcome (electric shock) as long contingencies were objectively random. However, experience high shocks following fear-irrelevant (FI) (83%) together with low FR (17%) abolished group difference. Return to random led comparable bias-free estimates both high- participants. In by authors induced bias, even The present suggest that FI shock is less likely induce than same shock.
