The Vogel Conflict Test is a conflict based experimental method primarily used in pharmacology. It is used to determine anxiolytic properties of drugs. It predicts drugs that can manage generalized anxiety disorders and acute anxiety states.
Suppressing behavior through punishment is commonly used to determine the anxiolytic properties of drugs. During the Vogel Test, animals receive electrical shocks when trying to get water. Therefore the number of times the animal goes to get water decreases. When anxiolytic drugs are injected, the number of times animals go up to get water increases, even though the animals are still punished.
