eJournal Entry #1



I am doing my eJournal on Ochophobia. When I first heard the word I thought it most likely had something to the with the number 8. I believe that the person most likely has a fear of things that come in 8’s or just the site of the number itself.


I picked this disorder because it the sound of it seems interesting. I figured that the disorder would make a person who sees the number eight break out into a fit and probably run away or something in a recoiling nature.

After reading a source my hypothesis was completely wrong the phobia has nothing to do with the prefix; It is the fear of vehicles. According to the website the fear is actually being in a moving vehicle.
