In this study, the effectiveness of a self-directed form of stress inoculation training for flight phobia was examined. Thirty flight phobic volunteers were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a delayed treatment group. Treatment effectiveness was assessed through (a) self-reported fear, (b) participation in a one hour flight, (c) in-flight measures of pulse rate and subjective anxiety and (d) participation in flights during a two month follow-up. Compliance with the treatment manual was high (79%) as compared to 30-50% reported in a recent review. The effectiveness of the treatment is discussed in terms of previous research and current theoretical conceptualizations of fear and anxiety. Future research recommendations are offered. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 49-10, Section: B, page: 4526. / Major Professor: Jack G.
