Johnson, J. (1973). Effects of accurate expectations about sensations on the sensory and distress components of pain. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 27, 261-267.
HO: Accurate expectations (e.g. teaching what to expect) about the physical sensations most likely to be experienced reduces the distress caused by painful procedures.

HO: The discrepancy between expected and experienced physical sensations (What is felt, seen, heard, tasted, and smelled) during a threatening experience will result in distress.
Johnson, J. E., Leventhal, H., & Dabbs, Jr., J. M. (1971). Contribution of emotional and instrumental response processes in adaptation to surgery. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 20 (1), 55-64.
HO: Discrepancy between Expectation and Experience Results in Stress.

RQ (Research Question): What is the relative contribution of instruction in a specific coping strategy and two types of information intervention on both subjective and objective indicators of recovery.
Johnson, J., Morrissey, J. F., & Leventhal, H. (1973). Psychology preparation for an endoscopic examination. Gastointestinal Endoscopy, 19, 180-182.
HO: Sensory information about a distressing procedure will lower distress in patients more than procedural information.

Johnson's Theory: "Discrepancy between expected and experienced physical sensations (what is felt seen, heard, tasted, and smelled) during a threatening experience will result in distress."
