What are some key differences between normal and abnormal anxiety according to the cognitive model?
The automatic processing phase in normal anxiety is less biased towards negative self-referential stimuli than in clinical anxiety. Individuals with normal anxiety are less likely to show preconscious attentional bias towards threat. In normal anxiety, the initial threat evaluation is less exaggerated and more appropriate to the situation. Individuals with normal anxiety are more likely to consider their activation states as tolerable and not requiring immediate relief.
