Question 10

Marcus has an intense phobia of elevators. When he was fifteen years old, he was trapped in a dark, malfunctioning elevator for several hours during a power cut, experiencing severe panic and shortness of breath. Now, he feels highly anxious even when seeing an elevator door or hearing a lift bell chime. He always climbs up many flights of stairs to avoid using elevators, which instantly makes him feel calm and relieved.

With reference to Marcus, explain how his phobia could be explained using the two-process model.
