在阅读小插曲后，一组患有蜘蛛恐惧症的女孩（n = 18）和一组不患有蜘蛛恐惧症的女孩（n = 18）对蜘蛛进入她们私人生活空间的主观概率、她们接近和进行身体接触的倾向以及蜘蛛的主观概率进行了评分。造成身体伤害。此外，他们表示，他们渴望吃一个最喜欢的食物之前，以及之后，它已被蜘蛛接触不久。为了支持蜘蛛恐惧症是由于蜘蛛的恶心特性和主观的无意识接触概率的融合而产生的观点，恐惧症女孩报告了相对较高的评分：（a）蜘蛛进入她们房间的概率;（B）蜘蛛接近和进行身体接触的倾向;（c）蜘蛛的恶心唤起状态。最后，回归分析表明，蜘蛛的恶心唤起状态是蜘蛛恐惧症的最佳预测因素，而蜘蛛造成身体伤害的感知概率的独立贡献被发现可以忽略不计。总而言之，目前的研究结果有力地支持了蜘蛛恐惧症本质上反映了对与恶心刺激物进行身体接触的恐惧。(C)2002年爱思唯尔科技有限公司All rights reserved.
After reading vignettes, a group of spider-phobic girls (n = 18) and a group of nonphobic girls (n = 18) rated the subjective probability of spiders entering their private living space, their tendency to approach and make physical contact, and the subjective probability of spiders doing physical harm. In addition, they indicated their eagerness to eat a favorite food item before as well as after it had been shortly contacted by spiders. In support of the idea that spider phobia results from the convergence of spiders' disgusting properties and the subjective probability of involuntary contact, phobic girls reported relatively high ratings concerning: (a) the probability of spiders entering their room; (b) spiders' tendency to approach and make physical contact; and (c) spiders' disgust-evoking status. Finally, regression analysis indicated that spiders' disgust-evoking status is the single best predictor of spider phobia, whereas' the independent contribution of the perceived probability of spiders doing physical harm was found to be negligible. All in all, the present findings strongly support the idea that spider phobia essentially reflects a fear of physical contact with a disgusting stimulus. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
