A neural network model of the structure and dynamics of human personality. (2010, background): “Smillie, Pickering, and Jackson (2006; Corr, 2002, 2004) note that one implication of their interacting systems account of RST is that there is not a direct correspondence between the activation of motivational systems and trait related behavior.”
The effects of behavioral inhibition/approach system as predictors of Internet addiction in adolescents (2013, background): “The thing more focused in this study is that a Joint-Subsystems Hypothesis (JSH; Corr, 2002) proposing that BIS and BAS are interdependent on each other so cannot be considered separately.”
Comorbidity of Anxiety and Depression in Children and Adolescents: 20 Years After (2013, unknown): “Theory proposes that the BAS and BIS function independently; however, Corr (2002) suggested that the BIS and BAS jointly influence behavior.”
Motivation and Personality: A Neuropsychological Perspective (2013, background): “However, a key point emphasized by Jeffrey Gray, which has not been well assimilated into this personality research, is that the approach and avoidance systems cannot be treated simply as two unitary and entirely independent entities (Corr, 2002, 2004).”
The interaction of reinforcement sensitivity and life events in the prediction of anhedonic depression and mixed anxiety-depression symptoms (2007, background): “Kasch, Rottenberg, Arnow, & Gotlib, 2002). In contrast, the literature on BAS in the prediction of internalizing psychopathology has been less consistent. Low BAS has been found to predict depression ( [Depue et al., 1987] and [Meyer et al., 1999]) and has been significantly associated with persiste”
Threat and defense: From anxiety to approach (2014, background): “The ERN is also muted in dispositionally approach-motivated people who tend to be sensitive to reward, high in impulsivity, and open to risk (Boksem, Tops, Kostermans, & De Cremer, 2008; Corr, 2002; Potts, George, Martin, & Barratt, 2006; Santesso et al., 2008).”
Reinforcement sensitivity theory and personality. (2004, unknown): “These findings, on the other hand, appear in line with the “joint subsystems hypothesis” (Corr, 2002) that predicts for the impulsive subjects at all levels of anxiety a lower level of sensitivity to signals of punishment (p.888 Corr, 2002).”
A psychometric evaluation of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale: The components of sensory-processing sensitivity and their relation to the BIS/BAS and “Big Five” (2006, background): “The BAS, which is associated with ascending dopaminergic pathways and the cortico-striato-pallido-thalamic loops (De Pascalis, Fiore, & Sparita, 1996), is the source of goal-directed behaviour, positive feelings and responses to conditioned and unconditioned signals of reward (Corr, 2002).”
Appetitive motivation predicts the majority of personality and an ability measure: a comparison of BAS measures and a re-evaluation of the importance of RST (2004, background): “approaching reward and actively avoiding punishment ( Corr, 2002; Gray & McNaughton, 2000).”
What is reinforcement sensitivity? Neuroscience paradigms for approach‐avoidance process theories of personality (2008, background): “There is divided opinion on many issues, such as the specific traits and states which arise from approach and avoidance systems (e.g. Carver, 2004; Depue &Collins, 1999, p. 497), and the degree of their interdependence (e.g. Corr, 2002; Pickering, 1997; Smillie, Pickering, & Jackson, 2006).”
The Measurement of Curiosity As a Feeling of Deprivation (2004, background): “In previous research, individual differences in personality traits have been found to predict people’s sensitivity to environmental signals for each of these two types of reinforcement (Collard, 1998; Corr, 2002; Seunath, 1975).”
