This study was carried out on the basis of Wolpe's principle of reciprocal inhibition. The stress-model asserts that the essence of anxiety reduction is the shift from the ergotropic to the trophotropic state, while the distraction-model asserts that distraction is the essence of anxiety reduction. The present experiment brings light to the following points not clarified in previous studies: (1) the effects of training vary with the symptoms of clients suffering from generalized anxiety disorders. The anxiety reducing effects of relaxation training is higher among those who complain of emotional syndromes than in those who complain of behavioral syndromes; (2) in both generalized anxiety disorders and social phobias, the mechanism of anxiety reduction matches the distraction model more than the stress model; (3) the effects of anxiety reduction by relaxation training and stress-relieving training carried out in the counseling room or in the client's home is higher in cases of generalized anxiety disorders than in social phobias.
本研究是基于沃尔普的交互抑制原理开展的。应激模型认为，减轻焦虑的本质是从促紧张状态转变为促营养状态，而分心模型则认为分心是减轻焦虑的本质。本实验揭示了先前研究中未阐明的以下几点：（1）训练效果因广泛性焦虑症患者的症状而异。放松训练对主诉情绪症状的患者的焦虑减轻效果高于主诉行为症状的患者；（2）在广泛性焦虑症和社交恐惧症中，减轻焦虑的机制更符合分心模型而非应激模型；（3）在咨询室或患者家中进行的放松训练和减压训练对广泛性焦虑症患者的焦虑减轻效果高于社交恐惧症患者。
