ANS: A
In behavioral models that are based on learning theory, the etiology of anxiety symptoms is a generalization from an earlier traumatic experience to a benign setting or object. As a result, he associates embarrassment and shame with sports events and develops panic attacks. The same kinds of cognitive operations that link embarrassment with sporting events link the cog-nition of the expectation of embarrassment with the idea of a sporting event, and the indi-vidual begins to experience panic attacks while merely thinking about being involved. The remaining options are not as likely to bring about the embarrassment and shame that would produce such a response.
