Abstract
The avoidance responses of 40 undergraduate females to a live snake were evaluated on the Levis Phobic Test Apparatus. The measures of interest were the three components of avoidance responses: (1) proximity to the snake; (2) self-report of fear; and (3) level of physiological arousal. The data indicated that the subjects' level of physiological arousal increased significantly from “basal” to “test” conditions. Additionally, subjects who stopped the snake more quickly, showed the greater increase in arousal, and also reported greater subjective fear. A brief discussion of the theoretical implications of the data is presented.
