Abstract:
Vicarious threat conditioning are theorized to confer vulnerability to a wide range of emotional problems. We tested two different conceptual models of this non-specificity. The research examined university students (N = 150) defensive responses during a vicarious threat conditioning task in relation to both broad and specific components of the internalizing domain. Vicarious conditioning was successful, such that participants exhibited larger subjective and skin conductance responses during their first direct encounters with threatening, as compared to nonthreatening, conditioned stimuli. Our findings suggest that the association between vicarious threat learning and emotional disorder risk is weaker than previously believed, at least in this population.
