Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these factors - temperament, observational learning, and selective sensitization - can influence how easily a conditioned fear response is acquired. Temperament can predispose individuals to be more or less reactive to fear stimuli, observational learning allows individuals to acquire fears by watching others, and selective sensitization increases sensitivity to certain stimuli following exposure to an unrelated stressful event.
