Answer to #1

Previous positive or nontraumatic experiences with the conditioned stimulus (e.g., if lots of good experiences with dogs, less likely to develop a phobia after being bitten), observing a nonfearful other approaching the situation or object, and having a feeling of control or ability to escape from a traumatic event will lessen the likelihood.

Answer to #2

d. Major depressive disorder

Answer to #3

Modern definitions of fear define fear as a basic emotion, characterized by
physiological, cognitive, and behavioral components. The sympathetic nervous system
is activated by a fear-producing stimulus, a feeling of fear is experienced, and there is
some appropriate behavioral response, such as running away.
