Philip J. Corr on Drugs - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 364 Drugs/behavior/psychology/Corr: a more defensive person will perceive a threat of a fixed objective value as being more threatening (i.e., closer) than a less defensive person. Indeed, this hypothesis helps to explain the actions of drugs: they do not affect the intensity of a particular behaviour (e.g., avoidance); rather they affect ‘perceived distance’ (i.e., the magnitude of perceived threat), and thus they lead to different behaviours being shown (e.g., from avoidance to cautious approach). Corr I 365 Behavior/Corr: This form of analysis counsels us not to focus on behaviour per se, but rather to view behaviour as a reflection of central states of emotion and motivation: as an overt, and measurable, indicator of internal states. The important point is that the drug does not alter a specific risk assessment in any simple fashion, but leads to changes in behaviour that depend on the animal’s internal state (Blanchard and Blanchard 1990)(1). >Anxiety/Corr, >Behavior/Corr, >Perception/Corr. 1.
