Dopamine, appetitive reinforcement, and the neuropsychology of human learning: An individual differences approach (2001, background): “The details of the theory, and the empirical evidence that has accumulated from attempts to test it, have been described over the last three decades (Corr, 2001; Gray, 1970, 1981, 1982; Matthews & Gilliland, 1999; Pickering, Díaz, & Gray, 1995; Pickering et al, 1997; Pickering & Gray, 1999).”
J.A. Gray's reinforcement sensitivity theory and frustrative nonreward: A theoretical note on expectancies in reactions to rewarding stimuli (2002, background): “That is, two separate components of aversive/ appetitive motivation need to be delineated: (1) general (trait) BIS/BAS sensitivities (e.g. trait anxiety and impulsivity); and (2) specific measures of (state) expectancies of reward and punishment (Corr, 2001).”
J. A. Gray's reinforcement sensitivity theory: tests of the joint subsystems hypothesis of anxiety and impulsivity (2002, background): “The separable subsystems hypothesis and the joint subsystems hypothesis may be seen as complementary accounts within a two-process model of BIS/BAS functioning (Corr, 2001).”
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, result): “However, it is consistent with a recent revision of Gray’s Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) (Corr, 2001).”
The neuropsychology of fear and anxiety: A foundation for Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory. (2008, background): “In the case of human personality this realization has important implications: for example, it is not sufficient to manipulate reward and punishment without first assessing or manipulating expectations (Corr 2001).”
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): “Gray s theory specifies the BAS as the causal basis of trait impulsivity, the implication being that impulsive people are most highly motivated by reward (Corr, 2001; Matthews & Gilliland, 1999).”
From BIS/BAS to the big five (2006, background): “Several authors assume, although sometimes implicitly, that BIS/BAS underlies part of the surface of personality as described for example by the Big-Five (e.g. Corr, 2001; Gray, 1970; Matthews & Gilliland, 1999).”
Psychometric Properties of the Dutch BIS/BAS Scales (2005, methodology): “have constructed new instruments to assess BIS and BAS (for a review, see Corr, 2001).”
