恐惧对某些刺激的获得，如蛇，被认为是快速的、抵抗消退的，并很容易转移到其他类似的物体上。有人假设，由于生存机会的增加，对进化威胁立即产生恐惧的准备已经固定在灵长类大脑的神经通路中。在这里，我们根据经验比较参与者对蛇的恐惧；从经常与蛇打交道甚至被蛇咬伤的人到不熟悉蛇的人。研究对象为三组不同蛇和蛇咬伤经历的参与者：1)蛇类专家，2)消防员，3)大学生。这项研究表明，与蛇接触越多的人表现出的恐惧感越低。此外，被蛇咬过(无论是否有毒)的参与者在对蛇的恐惧方面得分较低(SNAQ-12)，但并不是对所有其他潜在的恐惧症刺激(SPQ)的恐惧。我们的结果表明，无害的良性接触可能会使人们对高度生物准备好的对进化威胁的恐惧产生免疫力，比如蛇。
Fear acquisition of certain stimuli, such as snakes, is thought to be rapid, resistant to extinction, and easily transferable onto other similar objects. It has been hypothesized that due to increased survival chances, preparedness to instantly acquire fear towards evolutionary threats has been hardwired into neural pathways of the primate brain. Here, we compare participants’ fear of snakes according to experience; from those who often deal with snakes and even suffer snakebites to those unfamiliar with snakes. The Snake Questionnaire-12 (SNAQ-12) and Specific Phobia Questionnaire (SPQ) were administered to three groups of participants with a different level of experience with snakes and snakebites: 1) snake experts, 2) firefighters, and 3) college students. This study shows that individuals more experienced with snakes demonstrate lower fear. Moreover, participants who have suffered a snakebite (either venomous or not) score lower on fear of snakes (SNAQ-12), but not of all other potentially phobic stimuli (SPQ). Our results suggest that a harmless benign exposure might immunize people to highly biologically prepared fears of evolutionary threats, such as snakes.
