This article was written as an introduction to a special issue of Behavior Modification dedicated to studies in the field of respiratory psychophysiology. Although the invited articles that constitute this special issue cover a fairly broad range of topics, priority was given to articles that focus on the role of respiration in panic disorder. Attention is directed to the fundamental role of breathing in applied psychophysiology and to the encouragement of research in the modification of breathing behavior. The connection between respiratory psychophysiology and behavior modification is explained by reference to (a) a recent article on Pavlovian and operant control of breathing behavior and (b) four published volumes of selected articles dedicated exclusively to the field of respiratory psychophysiology. The present special issue of Behavior Modification marks the fifth volume.
本文是为《行为修正》的一期特刊所写的引言，该特刊专注于呼吸心理生理学领域的研究。尽管构成这期特刊的特邀文章涵盖了相当广泛的主题，但重点还是放在了关注呼吸在惊恐障碍中作用的文章上。文中强调了呼吸在应用心理生理学中的基础作用，并鼓励开展有关呼吸行为改变的研究。通过参考（a）一篇关于呼吸行为的巴甫洛夫式和操作性控制的近期文章，以及（b）四卷专门收录呼吸心理生理学领域文章的已出版选集，来解释呼吸心理生理学与行为修正之间的联系。《行为修正》的这期特刊是第五卷。
