Arachnophobia and the cause of fear of spiders
 Říha, Roman ; Dolejš, Petr (advisor) ; Vlček, Kamil (referee)
Fear of spiders is largely widespread, and in some cases may even grow into a phobia. Negative attitude towards spiders can be found already in the mythology of some peoples. This attitude is often in the Western culture. It is interesting that this fear persists even though there are very few spiders which are able to endanger human life. There are more possible causes of arachnophobia, including classical conditioning, information transmission and impact of disgust emotions. Right the disgust seems to be the probable explanation of spider phobia. Relevance fear is documented by a list of dangerous spiders to humans. Some spiders are in fact able to endanger human health by toxins contained in their venom. Basic questions to deal with are validity of human fear of spiders and possible causes of this negative relationship.
