Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

As with most disorders, cultural influences are seen in the anxiety disorders. While most emotional responses are
universal, the stimuli that elicit emotional reactions will vary and how emotions are expressed varies. In the case
of anxiety disorders, the prevalence of the different types of disorders varies with culture. Differences in sources
of anxiety are easily found. Nigerians, for example, are likely to be concerned about fertility and maintaining a
large family. In some Asian cultures Koro may be seen, a fear of the penis shrinking and disappearing. Both of
these sources of anxiety are clearly related to the value the culture places on procreating, a concern not seen in
most Western societies. Social phobia takes different forms across cultures, being characterized by a fear of
embarrassing one's self in some and a fear of embarrassing others in some. Thus, the anxiety disorders are very
much impacted by culture in numerous ways.
