The focus of the anxiety and worry is not confined to features of an Axis I disorder, e.g., the anxiety or worry is not about having a Panic Attack (as in Panic Disorder), being embarrassed in public (as in Social Phobia), being contaminated (as in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), being away from home or close relatives (as in Separation Anxiety Disorder), gaining weight (as in Anorexia Nervosa), having multiple physical complaints (as in Somatization Disorder), or having a serious illness (as in Hypochondriasis); and the anxiety and worry do not occur exclusively during Post traumatic Stress Disorder.

In applying the dual-process view of reasoning to problem solving, most would agree that:
a) both algorithms and heuristics are clear instances of System 1 (automatic and unconscious) reasoning. b) both algorithms and heuristics are clear instances of System 2 (controlled and conscious) reasoning. c) algorithms are akin to System 1 reasoning; heuristics are akin to System 2 reasoning. d) heuristics are akin to System 1 reasoning; algorithms are akin to System 2 reasoning.
In a 1981 study by Petty, Cacioppo, and Goldman, students listened to a speech that supported the idea that seniors should have to pass a comprehensive exam before graduating
Some students (group A) were told that comprehensive exams might be implemented at their school the following year. Others (group B) were told that the exams wouldn't be implemented until well after they had graduated. Based on the theories of controlled and automatic responding, what would we expect each group of students to focus on? (a) Group A would be persuaded primarily by the expertise of the speaker, while group B would be persuaded primarily by the quality of the speaker's arguments. (b) Group A would be persuaded primarily by the quality of the speaker's arguments, while group B would be persuaded primarily by the expertise of the speaker. (c) Both groups A and B would be persuaded primarily by the expertise of the speaker. (d) Both groups A and B would be persuaded primarily by the quality of the speaker's arguments.
