Trait anxiety and fear generalization: Overgeneralization of fear or undergeneralization of safety learning?

2025-10-02

Abstract excerpt

<p>The tendency to overgeneralize fear learning has been identified as a potential risk factor for the maintenance of anxiety disorders. In this study, we used a morphed shape dimension to separately measure generalization of fear (learning when an aversive stimulus is present) and generalization of safety (learning when an aversive stimulus is absent) in participants classified as high or low in trait anxiety. In...
