anxiety

Definitions
A negative emotion that is aversive and provoked by the prospect of distal threat. Distinguished from fear since it is triggered by a distal threat whereas fear is triggered by an immediate threat. Often gradual and long-lasting, whereas fear usually has sudden onset and offset. [Source: OCEAS] Experiencing 'anxious mood' can give rise to 'anxiety'. An 'anxious mood' does not have an object, but involves generalised feeling of anxiety that a person experiences. In contrast, 'anxiety' will be about something, even if this object is not well-specified. The term 'distal' can refer to future threats or geographically distant threats.
