is threatened by something, then fear is contemplated to be the
appropriate response of the body. Fear is an emotion which
one feels when he/she experiences or passes through a
dangerous situation or through a situation of perceived threat.
When the body experiences the feeling or emotion of fear, it
responds in two ways: Biochemical Reaction and Emotional
Response. Biochemical response of the body is generally
referred to as the fight or flight response of the body in which
the body prepares itself to either fight with the situation or fly
away from the situation. This is considered to be an
evolutionary development which is important for our survival.
Every individual’s way of physically reacting to fear is more or
less the same however the emotional response is contemplated
to be a personalized response of the body to fear and hence
differs from one individual to another.
The subject of Psychology of Fear differentiates fear as
conscious, and fear as an unconscious, fear as emotion and
fear as a feeling, fear as anxiety and fear in phobias and lastly
fear with bodily actions and fear without bodily actions. This is
done in order to understand the nature of fear and then take
a probable course of action to cure it.
