Behavioral inhibition, behavioral activation, and affective responses to impending reward and punishment: The BIS/BAS Scales

TL;DR: In this paper, self-report scales to assess dispositional BIS and behavioral activation system (BAS) sensitivities were created, and a situation in which Ss anticipated a punishment was created.
Journal ArticleDOI

On inhibition/disinhibition in developmental psychopathology: Views from cognitive and personality psychology and a working inhibition taxonomy.

TL;DR: The author organizes key concepts and models pertaining to different kinds of inhibitory control from the cognitive and temperament/personality literatures to clarify which inhibition distinctions are correct and which inhibition deficits go with which disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (SPSRQ) as a measure of Gray's anxiety and impulsivity dimensions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a set of studies that illustrate the main psychometrical characteristics of the sensitivity to punishment and sensitivity to reward questionnaire (SPSRQ) and the two scales of the questionnaire were developed by writing items to assess BIS and BAS functioning.

Using the BIS/BAS scales to measure behavioural inhibition and behavioural activation: Factor structure, validity and norms in a large community sample

TL;DR: The Behavioural Inhibition System and Behavior Activation System (BIS/BAS) scales of Carver and White (1994) were used in an Australian community sample of 2725 individuals aged 18-79.

Neurocognitive components of the behavioral inhibition and activation systems: implications for theories of self-regulation

TL;DR: Higher self-reported BIS was uniquely related to the N2 event-related potential on No-Go trials of a Go/No-Go task, linking BIS with conflict monitoring and sensitivity to No- go cues, and higher BAS was uniquelyrelated to greater left-sided baseline frontal cortical asymmetry associated with approach orientation.

The three arousal model: implications of gray's two-factor learning theory for heart rate, electrodermal activity, and psychopathy.

TL;DR: It is possible to relate the clinical features of psychopathy to the psychophysiological data with the single assumption that primary psychopaths have a deficient BIS, but they suffer from poor passive avoidance and extinction with reduced EDA in response to threatening stimuli.

Relating Factors Between Studies Based Upon Different Individuals.

TL;DR: A method for relating factors between studies based on different individuals is developed and yields a measure of reltionship between all factors under consideration, a measure which may be interpreted as a correlation coefficient.
