Specific Phobias in Children and Adolescents
2022, Comprehensive Clinical Psychology, Second EditionEffects of repeated exposure to fearful and disgusting stimuli on fear renewal in blood-injection-injury phobia
2020, Journal of Anxiety DisordersCitation Excerpt :However, the decay slope observed for fear was significantly greater than that for disgust. The specific effects of repeated exposure to threat-relevant stimuli on fear responding are perhaps not surprising given that BII phobia is traditionally thought to be acquired through a fear learning framework (e.g., Öst, 1991). Examination of week two post-exposure outcomes showed that both the disgust-specific and fear-specific groups reported significantly lower levels of anxiety than the general negative group.
Observational Fear Learning
2015, Brain Mapping: An Encyclopedic ReferenceAutobiographical memories of vomiting in people with a specific phobia of vomiting (emetophobia)
2013, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Another strength is the inclusion of a matched control group from the community and the gathering of detailed information about their memories of vomiting, which has not been done in previous studies (e.g. Veale & Lambrou, 2006). One limitation is that some questionnaire items prompted individuals to provide associations with vomiting and an alternative was not provided (for example, obtaining information about vomiting) (Merckelbach, Arntz, & De Jong, 1991; Ost, 1991). Different types of phobias may originate by different routes.
The role of painful events and pain perception in blood-injection-injury fears
2012, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :The association between pain, such as the perceived ability to handle physical pain and the intensity and frequency of painful experiences, and blood-injection-injury (BII) fears remains poorly understood. According to retrospective accounts by individuals reporting aversive experiences with BII stimuli prior to their fear onset, one third of individuals with blood phobia and half of individuals with injection phobia reported that painful experiences preceded the onset of BII fears (Öst, 1991). The role of pain appears to be a critical factor in both the development and maintenance of fear.
Needle Phobia: Etiology, Adverse Consequences, and Patient Management
2010, Dental Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :There are several publications that discuss the needle fear that arises after a negative experience at a physician’s or dentist’s office.17,21,22 A study completed by Ost18 of 56 subjects who had injection phobia showed that 56% could trace their fear back to negative conditioning from a health care experience. The mean onset of age was 8.06 years and often correlated with a first-time health care–related appointment.
