人类有一种无与伦比的能力，可以进行任意适用的关系反应（AARR）。这种自发地将过去、现在和未来的事件联系起来的能力的后果之一，实际上可能是一种受苦的倾向。例如，不适应的恐惧和对远程或衍生威胁的回避实际上可能会使焦虑长期存在。在这篇叙述性的回顾中，我们考虑了当代AARR对恐惧和回避的研究，因为它与焦虑有关。我们首先描述了基于实验室的关于人类恐惧和回避引出功能的紧急传播的研究。接下来，我们将考虑AARR研究对恐惧和回避的有效性，并讨论这项工作的治疗意义。最后，我们概述了AARR行为分析研究与实验精神病理学之间更大综合的挑战和机遇。
Humans have an unparalleled ability to engage in arbitrarily applicable relational responding (AARR). One of the consequences of this ability to spontaneously combine and relate events from the past, present, and future may, in fact, be a propensity to suffer. For instance, maladaptive fear and avoidance of remote or derived threats may actually perpetuate anxiety. In this narrative review, we consider contemporary AARR research on fear and avoidance as it relates to anxiety. We first describe laboratory-based research on the emergent spread of fear- and avoidance-eliciting functions in humans. Next, we consider the validity of AARR research on fear and avoidance and address the therapeutic implications of the work. Finally, we outline challenges and opportunities for a greater synthesis between behavior analysis research on AARR and experimental psychopathology.
