The present study set out to investigate this matter by comparing convenience samples of <em>Ss</em> from Great Britain, the Netherlands and the U.S.A. on a multi-scale robust measure of fear (the Fear Survey Schedule or FSS). Previously reported cross-national studies of neuroticism for the national groups considered here (<span>Hofstede, 1976</span>, <span>Hofstede, 1980</span>) found a mean score for the Netherlands which was higher than that for either Great Britain or the U.S.A., while the latter two nations had virtually identical scores. On the basis of this finding, and the empirical observation that neuroticism is meaningfully associated with phobic anxiety, it was hypothesised that at least some of the scales of the FSS would parallel the Hofstede pattern of neuroticism findings [(I) Social Fears, (II) Agoraphobic Fears, (III) Bodily Injury, Death and Illness Fears, (IV) Fears of Sexual and Aggressive Scenes, and (V) Fears of Harmless Animals]. However, the Dutch scored significantly lower than both their American and British counterparts on all measures, the most sizeable differences being the British <em>Ss</em>' higher scores on Fears of Sexual and Aggressive Scenes and on Agoraphobic Fears. The American and the British samples were comparable to each other in some respects (especially regarding social fears and fears of bodily injury, death and illness), while differing in other respects, in particular in the more pronounced fears of sexual and aggressive scenes in the British <em>Ss</em>. It was argued that these national differences may have emerged, at least in part, from national differences in higher-order conceptual (cognitive) strategies, a matter which remains to be empirically examined. Among other things, the need for nation-specific descriptive statistics and for specialised norms was emphasised.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 207-245"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(87)90004-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79857023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two-hundred and seventy eight Dutch secondary school pupils participated in a learned helplessness experiment, held in the classroom. At pretest an IQ test, the ASQ and some other materials were filled out. Corresponding to random assignment to a noncontingent negative, a noncontingent positive and a contingent group, subjects received at post-test, six days later, bogus feedback about their IQ test result. At post-test also, a parallel form of the first IQ test and several other tests were presented, interspersed by ratings of expectancy, certainty and momentary mood (repeated measures design). Relating to <em>(non-)contingency</em>, the validity of the learned helplessness model seems to be limited: effects of (non-)contingency on expectancy, achievement and mood on the whole cannot be fully understood without considering interactions between subjects' characteristics, schooltype, and the type of the dependent variables. In relation to the alleged mediating functions of <em>attributions</em>, it is revealed to be of little importance <em>which</em> attribution is made, but it is important whether <em>any</em> attribution is made at all. In respect of <em>the intensity of learned helplessness</em>, results do not show much support for the hypothesized relationships. Discussion of results lead us to conclude, that learned helplessness theory may gain by supplementing it with other theoretical notions, such as those relating to sex differences, fear of success and the relationship between emotion and cognition.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"8 1","pages":"Pages 1-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(86)90009-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78235529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical studies have defined anxiety as elevated sympathetic arousal or as a cognitive state involving selective attention. These are reviewed, with particular reference to observed differences in patterns of response with sexually functional and dysfunctional men. Overall, investigations which have operationalized anxiety as increased autonomic activity appear to produce inconsistent effects on tumescence, while studies examining various attentional states indicate that cognitive interference may be more salient in diminishing arousal. Important response dimensions in sexual dysfunction may include self-generated distracting thoughts and diminished awareness of affective states, which reduce physiological arousal presumably through distraction. Implications for sex therapy are discussed, including future directions for conceptualizing the influence of sexual desire on treatment outcome.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100041,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"8 4","pages":"Pages 205-221"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0146-6402(86)90005-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87306056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
