PsikofilolojiIn everyday language
Fear is a response to perceived danger. It can prepare someone to protect themselves.
A closer look
RDoC describes acute threat through defensive motivation, bodily responses and protective behaviour. Perception and learning matter: the framework includes responses to both internal and external threat cues, rather than reducing fear to one bodily sign.
The fear/anxiety distinction used here follows RDoC. It is an aid to comparison, not a diagnostic test or a claim that everyday language observes a sharp boundary.
