“…Our proposal is rather to combine physiological and self-report data in future investigations so data of different nature can constrain our interpretations of the results. Especially now that inconsistencies between the divergent results stemming from different studies of FOC (see introduction) are being addressed (Collins, 2016), this would be a step back, rather than forward. We can find studies from other fields that do explore this discrepancy between measurements of different nature, such as the study by Xygalatas and colleagues (2013), who found that memories about highly arousing rituals (ie.…”

“…The distinct approaches to wording in the measurement of fear and perception ranges from questions originating from past fear of crime research (4, 23, 25) to asking people to rank places (3,5,14,15,16,21,22), or asking about annoyance (17). This is important to consider, as the way that fear of crime is operationalized affects results (Collins, 2016).…”
