Massed Group Desensitization in Reduction of Test-Anxiety
30 test-anxious nursing students were randomly assigned to either a massed desensitization, placebo, or control group. All treatment was applied in 3 2-hr. and 20-min. sessions over an 8-day period. The massed group desensitization sessions began with 20 min. of recorded relaxation instructions. The remainder of the sessions consisted of Ss visualizing items from a test-anxiety hierarchy while concentrating on remaining relaxed. The placebo group…
Treatment of Test Anxiety by Group Implosive Therapy
36 test anxious Ss were randomly assigned to 3 groups. One group served as the no-treatment control, while the other two groups received either placebo-attention or implosive therapy. Implosive therapy consisted of 5 30-min. sessions of treatment in which Ss were asked to imagine highly anxiety-evoking scenes pertaining to test anxiety while concentrating on experiencing the accompanying sensations as intensely as possible. The placebo group imag…
Effectiveness of Counterconditioning as a Function of the Interval between Cessation of Operant I and Reinforcement of Operant II
An experiment is reported in which the length of time between the cessation of one operant and the reinforcement of another operant is related to the effectiveness of counterconditioning. Within the limits of inter-operant delay investigated (no delay, 10-sec. delay, and 20-sec. delay) effectiveness of counterconditioning seems to increase directly with interval length. The implications of the findings for further research and applied behavior mo…
Note on Secondary Reinforcement using a Discriminative Stimulus from an Aversive Situation
It is well known that discriminative stimuli can function as conditioned reinforcers. However, most of the empirical support for this conclusion has been derived from experiments with S D s established in appetitive situations rather than in situations in which reinforcement has stemmed from the removal of negatively reinforcing stimuli. In this project the reinforcing efficacy of S D s from the aversive situation is assessed, and the implication…
