| Asmundson and Stein (1994) Found that compared to non shy controls, extremely socially fearful people were quicker at locating dots that followed words they connected with themselves, e.g. “failure”, “worthless” etc. than dots followed by either words which were neutral or words which indicated a physical threat like “fire” or “punch”. This may suggest that people with social phobia are more over-focused on social threat to such an extent that physical threat is less scary for them. Interestingly, the first time I typed this, I typed that extremely socially fearful people were quicker at locating “dogs” that followed words … etc. Which probably proves the point that we’re quicker to connect with words connected to something we think about often. (My dog is my baby and I spend some time each day in the park spotting rare breeds of dogs).
And if someone shouts “Fire!” I suggest we all run out of the building quicker than we would run to the front of the queue when someone shouted “Failure!” |
