Unlocking The Psychology Of Snake And

Summary:

Researchers have unlocked new evidence that could help them get to the
bottom of our most common phobias and their causes. Hundreds of thousands of
people count snakes and spiders among their fears, and while scientists have
previously assumed we possess an evolutionary predisposition to fear the
unpopular animals, new research seem to indicate otherwise.

University of Queensland researchers have unlocked new evidence that could
help them get to the bottom of our most common phobias and their causes.

Hundreds of thousands of people count snakes and spiders among their fears,
and while scientists have previously assumed we possess an evolutionary
predisposition to fear the unpopular animals, researchers at UQ's School of
Psychology may have proved otherwise.

According to Dr Helena Purkis, the results of the UQ study could provide an
unprecedented insight into just why the creepy creatures are so widely feared.

“Previous research shows we react differently to snakes and spiders than to
other stimuli, such as flowers or mushrooms, or even other dangerous
animals….or cars and guns, which are also much more dangerous,” Dr Purkis said.

“[In the past, this] has been explained by saying that people are
predisposed by evolution to fear certain things, such as snakes and spiders,
that would have been dangerous to our ancestors.

“[However], people tend to be exposed to a lot of negative information
regarding snakes and spiders, and we argue this makes them more likely to be
associated with phobia.”

In the study, researchers compared the responses to stimuli of participants
with no particular experience with snakes and spiders, to that of snake and
spider experts.

“Previous research has argued that snakes and spiders attract preferential
attention (they capture attention very quickly) and that during this early
processing a negative (fear) response is generated… as an implicit and indexed
subconscious [action],” Dr Purkis said.

“We showed that although everyone preferentially attends to snakes or
spiders in the environment as they are potentially dangerous, only
inexperienced participants display a negative response.”

The study is the first to establish a clear difference between preferential
attention and the accompanying emotional response: that is, that you can
preferentially attend to something without a negative emotional response being
elicited.

Dr Purkis said the findings could significantly increase understanding
about the basic cognitive and emotional processes involved in the acquisition
and maintenance of fear.

“If we understand the relationship between preferential attention and
emotion it will help us understand how a stimulus goes from being perceived as
potentially dangerous, to eliciting an emotional response and to being
associated with phobia,” she said.

“[This] could give us some information about the way people need to deal
with snakes and spiders in order to minimise negative emotional responses.”

Researchers are now planning a follow-up study, which will test their
theory that love and fear, or phobia, involve the same basic attention
mechanism.

“We are interested in testing animal stimuli for animal lovers to see
whether these stimuli, a dog for a breeder for instance, have access to
preferential attention [in the same way as snakes and spiders do for those with
phobias of them].

“I am also interested in the difference that we saw in our previous work
between preferential attention, and the emotional response that is elicited
after this initial processing."

The study calls for volunteers who work with or own dogs, cats, horses,
cattle, snakes and spiders and also general members of the public who will form
a control group.

“I also need people who are allergic to dogs or cats, people who are
apprehensive of snakes and spiders, and people who have no fear of snakes and
spiders but don't explicitly work with them,” Dr Purkis said.

“[Additionally, we're looking to get in touch with] people who are willing
to have their pets (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, snakes, spiders) photographed
for use as experimental stimuli.”
