Association between experienced and non-experienced fear/intention of avoidance (IA). a Fear of non-experienced conditions (NExpFear) is significantly higher than fear of experienced conditions (ExpFear). IA of non-experienced conditions (NExpIA) is significantly higher than fear of experienced conditions (ExpIA). b ExpFear is significantly positively correlated with ExpIA and IA of non-experienced conditions (NExpIA). c Trait dental anxiety (IDAF-4C+ score) is significantly positively correlated with fear of non-experienced conditions (NExpFear) and NExpIA. d Trait dental anxiety is significantly negatively correlated with the magnification factor of fear but not that of IA
