Modification of Avoidance Behavior: Expectancy, Autonomic Reactivity, and Verbal Report
Rappaport, Herbert
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 39, 3, 404-414, Dec 72
Within an experimental paradigm that simulated systematic desensitization, the effects of manipulated cognitive expectancy on avoidance behavior were evaluated. The results indicated that both overt avoidance behavior and two verbal indexes were differentially affected by expectancy and that no relationship between avoidance behavior and autonomic reactivity was evident.
