Abstract

In contrast to fear and panic, anxiety is a complex bkend of unpleasent emotions and cognitions that is both more oriented to the future and much more diffuse than fear. But like fear, it has not only cognitive/subjective components but also physiological and behavioural components. At the cognitive/subjective level, anxiety involves negative mood, worry about possible future threat or danger, self-preoccupation and a sense of being unable to predict the future threat or to control it if it occurs. The adaptive value of anxiety may be that it helps us plan and prepare for possible threat. In mild to modrate degrees, anxiety actually enhances learning and performance.
