Orval Hobart Mowrer (1907-1982) was an American psychologist known for his work on fear disorders and learning psychology. He proposed the Two-Factor Theory of phobias, explaining them as learned disorders resulting from classical and operant conditioning. Mowrer suggested that a conditioned stimulus triggers anxiety and that avoidance behavior, reinforced through operant conditioning, maintains the phobia. His influential theory prompted the development of therapeutic approaches like Flooding, although it is considered a supplementary model in current research on anxiety disorders.
