The uneven distribution of fears and phobias: A nonassociative account
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
A review of data concerning the uneven distribution of phobias suggests that nonassociative, ethological models can account for most of tile important findings that cannot be attributed to expectancy biases. The origin of a variety of fears that appear in fixed developmental patterns across divergent cultures and species can best be explained by biological models.
