Introduction: Anxiety may present challenges for commercial spaceflight operations, as little is known regarding the psychological effects of spaceflight on laypersons. A recent investigation evaluated measures of anxiety during centrifuge-simulated suborbital commercial spaceflight, highlighting the potential for severe anxiousness to interrupt spaceflight operations.
Methods: To pave the way for future research, an extensive literature review identified existing knowledge that may contribute to formation of interventions for anxiety in commercial spaceflight.

From the VALK Foundation (Busscher), Leiden, the Netherlands; Institute of Psychology (Busscher, Spinhoven), Leiden University, Leiden, the Netherlands; Department of Psychiatry (Spinhoven), Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands; and Department of Biological Psychology and EMGO+ Institute (de Geus), VU University & VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Objectives: Exposure is regarded to be a crucial component of therapies for phobias. According to emotional processing theory, the success of exposure therapy is predicted by activation of subjective and physiological fear responses and their within-session habituation and between-session adaptation. This study tested this prediction for aviophobia.

September 2010
VALK Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands.
Objective: The nature of the relationship between physiological and subjective responses in phobic subjects remains unclear. Phobics have been thought to be characterized by a heightened physiological response (physiological perspective) or by a heightened perception of a normal physiological response (psychological perspective).
Method: In this study, we examined subjective measures of anxiety, heart rate (HR), and cardiac autonomic responses to flight-related stimuli in 127 people who applied for fear-of-flying therapy at a specialized treatment center and in 36 controls without aviophobia.
