“…Even though all subjects also meet a Fear Survey Schedule cutoff score, the use of this measure is probably unnecessary. Less than 5O7o of the female subjects tested by Kaloupek et al (1981b) had a score of less than 5 on Fear Survey item No. 39 if their SNAQ factor score was 6 or greater.…”

“…Initially, factor scores were calculated by adding the number of affirmative responses to sets of items identified through principal components analysis by Kaloupek et al (1981b). Four factor scores were created in this manner: General Snake Fear, Snake Representations, Positive Snake Attributes, and Avoidance of Snakes.…”

“…Examination of the tabled values suggests that the subjects reported fairly high speech anxiety and moderate general fearfulness (cf. Kaloupek, Peterson, & Levis, 1981). The level of public speaking anxiety reported on the PRCS also was compared with the values reported by Paul (1966) for a sample of presumed speech phobies, with the result indicating a significantly higher value for the present sample ( t = 3.11, p < .01).…”

The potential of physical exertion to enhance anxiety reduction was investigated by combining acute exercise with an imaginal exposure treatment for public speaking anxiety. Self-report, behavioural, and psychophysiological outcome measures all indicated that groups that received imaginal exposure improved more than those that received control procedures. The addition of acute exercise increased the treatment effect on two self-report measures (one for females only), although there was an indication of interference with change on one behavioural index. Multiple measures of process effects indicated that greater responding and greater habituation during treatment were associated with better outcome. Additional process measures indicated that enhanced imagery, altered attribution for arousal, and reduced energy were all associated with the addition of acute exercise to the exposure intervention. These findings support the value of imaginal exposure for reduction of speech anxiety, suggest that acute exercise may be of circumscribed value as an adjunct to such exposure, and offer possible directions for the study of the mechanisms responsible for exposure-based anxiety reduction.

Coping with dental treatment: The potential impact of situational demands

Coping strategies and anxiety responding of dental patients were studied in order to test the generalizability of previous findings based on volunteer blood donors. State and trait coping measures were administered once, and a process coping scale was administered at three points throughout treatment. Self-report, behavioral observation, and psychophysiological measures of anxiety were sampled for the same periods as process coping. Findings included the replication of a negative relationship between avoidant coping and patient anxiety ratings. Fluctuations in coping were evident across periods, and impact of situational demands and constraints was introduced as an explanation for these variations. A method for direct assessment of coping consistency was introduced. On the basis of the replicable associations with anxiety measures, the ability to detect changes in coping within a situation, and the ability to provide direct evidence of coping consistency, the use of process methodology for coping assessment is encouraged.
