Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study compares the efficacy of cognitive restructuring and cognitive defusion techniques in reducing fear of the dark among highly anxious children aged 8-12. The research evaluates whether these cognitive elements are developmentally appropriate for pre-adolescents by excluding behavioral components from the interventions. Results indicate that both methods significantly reduced subjective fear, with cognitive restructuring showing more favorable outcomes than cognitive defusion.
