Abstract
⺠We tested fear acquisition and (re-)extinction in high trait anxious individuals. ⺠Trait anxious individuals showed elevated startle and distress to innocuous stimuli. ⺠Trait anxiety strongly influenced the affective fear responses across phases. ⺠Trait anxiety had limited effects on UCS expectancy and skin conductance responding. ⺠Deficient safety learning may explain the pathogenic role of high trait anxiety.
