Impact on Field of Psychology

Just as most theories in psychology have a view of anxiety, anxiety is an important

concept in many areas of psychology. Obviously, anxiety is very important

in the fields of psychopathology and psychotherapy. It also has been

very important in learning theory; experiments with conditioned fear have

advanced knowledge about Pavlovian and operant conditioning. Anxiety is

also an important trait in theories of personality, and it figures in theories of

motivation. It might be said that anxiety is everywhere in psychology.

Theoretical developments in anxiety have been incorporated into other

areas of psychology. For example, in the early 1960’s, Peter Lang described

fear and anxiety as being composed of three systems•that is, there are

three systems in which fear is expressed: verbal (saying “I’m anxious”), behavioral

(avoiding or running away from a feared object), and physiological

(experiencing an increase in heart rate or sweating). An important point in

understanding the three systems of fear is that the systems do not always run

along parallel tracks. A person may speak of being anxious about the condition

of the world environment without any physiological arousal. Alternatively,

a boy’s heart might pound at the sight of a snake in the woods, but he

reports no fear and does not run away in the presence of his friends. Describing

fear in a three-systems framework presents an important challenge

to any theory of anxiety. An adequate theory must explain why the three systems

sometimes give the same information and sometimes do not. The

three-systems approach not only has been very influential in anxiety theory

and research but also has been applied to many other areas of psychology,

such as studying emotion, stress, and pain. This approach is an important

concept in behavioral formulations of anxiety, stating that anxiety has behavioral,

physiological, and verbal components and that they do not necessarily

provide the same information.

Another major challenge for theories of anxiety is to begin to integrate

different positions. The present theories are not all mutually exclusive. The

fact that a behavioral theory of anxiety has some validity does not mean that

cognitive approaches are wrong. Also, psychological theories need to be integrated

with physiological theories that describe brain activity during anxiety.

Although theory and research in anxiety has a long and fruitful history,

there is much work to be done, and many important developments lie

ahead.
