The interaction of anxiety and autonomic activation as a factor in the development and persistency of pathological anxiety was investigated with the aid of self-rating procedures and a habituation experiment. The state of activation was varied systematically in 40 normal subjects by various experimental conditions and by the administration of a tranquilizer. The degree of anxiety and activation were able to be differentiated in the investigated range of mean attentiveness. Anxious expectancy is perceived in particular as subjective anxiety. Fatigue and sedation, on the other hand, demonstrate subjective and autonomic desactivation. Corresponding differences can be demonstrated for the anxiolytic and sedative effects of tranquilizers. The time course of habituation is a more exact indicator than the amplitude of the orienting response. Cognitively provoked apprehensiveness, thus, appears to be qualitatively different as compared to psychoautonomically caused anxieties of psychiatric disorders.
借助自评程序和习惯化实验，研究了焦虑与自主激活的相互作用作为病理性焦虑发展和持续存在的一个因素。通过各种实验条件和给予一种镇静剂，在40名正常受试者中系统地改变激活状态。在平均注意力的研究范围内，能够区分焦虑程度和激活程度。焦虑预期尤其被视为主观焦虑。另一方面，疲劳和镇静表现为主观和自主失活。镇静剂的抗焦虑和镇静作用也有相应差异。习惯化的时间进程比定向反应的幅度是更精确的指标。因此，与精神疾病中精神自主引起的焦虑相比，认知引发的担忧在性质上似乎有所不同。
