Which of the following is not a characteristic of specific phobia?
a. The marked anxiety is far beyond what would be reasonable expected

b. The stimulus is avoided or endured with intense anxiety/fear

c. Unexpected panic attacks occur on a regular basis

d. None of the above

Respuesta :

The answer is c as having unexpected panic attacks occuring regularly is actually called panic disorder, and is not a phobia. When the marked anxiety is far beyond than reasonably expected, there is clearly an unreasonable fear, and the same applies to when the stimulus is avoided or endired with intense anxiety or fear.
