Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory of Personality Questionnaires: Structural survey with recommendations (2016, methodology): “…of the biological reinforcer, whereas Reward Responsiveness from the BIS/BAS scales and RST-PQ Reward Reactivity are more concerned with individual differences in emotional response to reward — such a theoretical model is outlined by Corr (2008) and this drove the development of the RST-PQ.”
Narcissism and stock market investing: Correlates and consequences of cocksure investing (2011, background): “Sub-goal scaffolding theory (Corr, 2008), for example, in part suggests that approach motivated behavior often involves restraint and planning (i.”
Dimensions of perfectionism, behavioral inhibition, and rumination (2010, background): “keeping with suggestions that fun-seeking is more reflective of impulsivity while drive and reward responsiveness reflect complex goal-oriented approach orientations (see Corr, 2008; Leone, 2009). The overall pattern of findings suggests that self-oriented perfectionists are driven, yet prone to exp”

(2009, methodology): “Examples of these theories are Eysenck’s PEN model (Eysenck & Pervin, 1990), Davidson’s (1998) neurophysiologic model of approach/withdrawal, and Freud’s (1961) structural model of psychoanalysis.”

Not doing bad things is not equivalent to doing the right thing: distinguishing between inhibitory and initiatory self-control (2011, background): “BIS/BAS Theory, also referred to as Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (Corr, 2008), describes the differences between both systems in terms of responding either to goal-conflict (BIS) or signals of reward (BAS) and thus emphasizes the difference between inhibition and initiation as separate means to…”

Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory and emotion regulation difficulties: A multimodal investigation (2010, background): “…(Leone & Russo, 2009) and may be characterized by a consummatory urge to persist in appetitive behavior with minimal regard for the outcome (Corr, 2008), we hypothesized that this BAS dimension would be positively associated with ER difficulties, particularly difficulties engaging in…”
