“…According to this model, mood and anxiety disorders are characterized by pronounced reactions to emotional and somatic experiences associated with the fear of anxiety and other feelings (Brown & Barlow, ). High sensitivity is associated with individuals attempts to control or escape negative inner experiences (e.g., Papachristou, Theodorou, Neophytou, & Panayiotou, ; Stewart, Zvolensky, & Eifert, ). Furthermore, empirical evidence supports the association of anxiety sensitivity with increased symptoms related to emotional disorders (see Olatunji & Wolitzky‐Taylor, , for a meta‐analysis), alcohol misuse (e.g., Stewart, Peterson, & Pihl, ; Stewart, Zvolensky, & Eifert, ), and pain (see Ocañez, Kathryn McHugh, & Otto, , for a meta‐analysis).…”

Objective Numerous psychological constructs exist to describe different facets of emotional responding, but they have rarely been examined together. We empirically modeled the associations between four psychological constructs (mindfulness, emotional nonacceptance, experiential avoidance, and anxiety sensitivity) of individuals' responses to their affective experience, hypothesizing that a bifactor model would fit the data best. Method We used exploratory structural equation modeling, a novel latent variable modeling framework, to compare five measurement models of emotional responding in an online community sample (N = 307). Results A bifactor model including a general emotional responding factor had substantial factor loadings from nearly all items, with mixed results for specific factors. Exploratory analyses supported the significant association of avoidant emotional responding and psychopathology/well‐being. Conclusion The general avoidant emotional responding factor appears to overlap most directly with experiential avoidance and may be a transtheoretical construct relevant to mental health.

“…According to the biological model of personality, there are three behavioral systems, including the Behavioral Activating System (BAS); Behavior Inhibition System (BIS) and Fight/Flight System (FFS) [20] form the personality by regulating a person's sensitivity to perceived threats and rewards [25]. The role of behavioral activation and behavioral inhibition systems in the occurrence of various anxiety disorders [26], and antisocial behaviors [29], hyperactivity and behavioral disorders [30], mood disorders _depression and anxiety_ [31], aggression [34], and emotional maladjustments [38] identified. Emotion regulation as a core component of organizing adaptive behavior [75] in two categories of negative and positive strategies is associated with a variety of adjustment and maladjustment individual and interactional outcomes.…”

Objectives The current investigation was done with the aim of studying the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation in the relation between brain-behavioral system activity and marital satisfaction of families living in Mahshar city. Methods 200 married people (106 female & 94 male) referring to two clinics of Petrochemical Industries of Mahshahr that were selected voluntarily. Research measurements were Gray-Wilson Personality Questionnaire (GWPQ), ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (Persian-Brief), and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Results The results showed that all dimensions of cognitive emotion regulation and brain-behavioral system activity of participants were significantly associated with marital satisfaction. The results also showed that both negative and positive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation and two dimensions of active avoidance and the fight/flight system as components of the behavioral-brain system activity directly and the behavioral inhibition system indirectly were associated with marital satisfaction. In general, the results of this study showed that the components of the brain-behavioral system and cognitive emotion regulation strategies have good predictive power to predict marital satisfaction in families. Conclusion The brain-behavioral system activity as a biological and sustainable model of personality and using the cognitive emotion regulation strategies has an essential role in predicting marital satisfaction - as a general outcome of long-term interactions between couples.

“…The relationship between BI and mental disorders has been consistently found (Van Brakel & Muris, 2006). For instance, studies link BI to anxiety disorders (Claus & Blackford, 2012;Chronis-Tuscano et al, 2009;Essex et al, 2010;Hirshfeld-Becker et al, 2007;Hudson et al, 2011;Muris et al, 2011;Ordóñez-Ortega et al, 2013;Orgiles et al, 2012;Papachristou et al, 2018;Paulus et al, 2015;Rapee, 2014). Hence, when dealing with children who remain inhibited in a steady fashion over time (Hirshfeld-Becker et al, 1992), BI is seen as a behavioral marker of biological vulnerability in the development of anxiety disorders (Biederman et al, 2001;Kagan et al, 1988).…”

Behavioral inhibition (BI) is a temperament trait characterized by extreme fear in the face of novelty. BI has been associated with the development of mental disorders. However, there is a lack of research examining the socioemotional and behavioral characteristics of behaviorally inhibited children both in family and school settings. For a more comprehensive and in-depth overview of children’s behavior in each of these contexts, this study has collected data from both parents (mother and father – family setting) and from teachers (educational environment). The sample consisted of 109 children aged between four and six years old. Multi-informant approach was used: all fathers, mothers and teachers completed both the Preschool Behavioral Inhibition Scales, the Child Behavior Checklist for parents and teachers, and the Behavior Assessment System for Children and Adolescents. Our findings revealed that children classified as BI exhibit less socioemotional and behavioral adjustments than their uninhibited peers both in family and school contexts. Further, the shyness variable seemed to be strongly associated with behavioral inhibition, regardless of informant and context.
