PSYCH 282 Exam- Fear and
Anxiety Reduction Procedures
with Correct Solutions

3 types of attention-focusing exercises - ANSWER guided imagery, autogenic training,

meditation



guided imagery - ANSWER - person imagines pleasant and peaceful scenes and

images

- therapist guides the person through a script that describes what is experienced by

each of the senses in the situation

e.g., walking along a beach, or floating on a cloud

- attention is focused on the scene instead of anxiety-provoking thoughts and feelings

- can be done in person with a therapist or while listening to an audio recording



autogenic training - ANSWER (autogenic = "self-produced")



- person imagines being in a pleasant and peaceful scene and experiencing specific

bodily sensations, such as their arms feeling warm or heavy

- instructions specify which part of the body to focus on, what feeling to imagine; this

is followed by a rest period, and is repeated three times

- a full session involving all parts of the body takes about 35 minutes

, - more suitable than progressive muscle relaxation for those people who have chronic

pain or difficulty moving



meditation - ANSWER - the process of contemplating or focusing one's attention on

an object, event, or idea to help the person become detached or dissociated from their

physical states, thoughts, and feelings



- focus can be on a meditation stimulus, like a visual object (e.g., a flower), a

mantra (word-like sound), or person's own breathing

- successfully applied to chronic pain by focusing on and separating physical

sensations from the cognitive and emotional reactions to pain

- alleviates anxiety and depression to a similar degree as antidepressant drug therapy

- but low/no evidence of any effect on positive mood, substance use, eating

habits, sleep, and weight (Goyal et al., 2014)



4 essential components of mediatation - ANSWER 1. quiet, distraction-free location

2. specific, comfortable posture

3. open attitude

4. focus of attention



behavioural relaxation training - ANSWER - involves relaxing different muscle

groups, and adopting certain relaxed body postures

- similar to PMR, but does not include the muscle tensing component
