“…Consistent with previous research (Marchand, 2012), it was also hypothesized that mindfulness and acceptance would be negatively associated with BIS sensitivity and psychological distress. Further, the stable nature of BIS sensitivity (Takahashi et al, 2007) contradicts the proposition that BIS sensitivity mediates the relationship between mindfulness and well-being. Therefore, it was hypothesized that mindfulness and acceptance would instead moderate the association between BIS sensitivity and psychological distress.…”

“…An interactive model was examined because adaptive ER may modulate the trait-like effects of BIS sensitivity (Takahashi et al, 2007) on psychological outcomes (Bijttebier et al, 2009). Acceptance and mindfulness were hypothesized to moderate (i.e., buffer) the effects of BIS sensitivity on psychological distress.…”

“…An interpretation of the results focused on using mindfulness to reduce BIS sensitivity; however, this assumption was not directly examined. This interpretation may be problematic because BIS sensitivity may be a stable trait minimally influenced by the environment (Takahashi et al, 2007). A model accounting for the moderating role of emotion regulation may improve our understanding of the relationship between BIS sensitivity and psychological distress.…”

“…Additionally, researchers have demonstrated that the BIS and its sensitivity to cues of punishment can be modified by environmental conditions such as high levels of stress (Korte 2001;Takahashi et al 2007). In a similar vein, shared and non-shared environmental experiences have been shown to account for a significant proportion of the variance in changes to BI levels in toddlers from 10 to 20 months of age (Plomin et al 1993).…”

The Role of BIS Sensitivity in the Relationship Between Family Enmeshment and Child Anxiety

Previous work has demonstrated that three overarching vulnerabilities-genetic, environmental, and temperamental-contribute to the development of child anxiety. The purpose of our study was to assess: (a) the relationship between an environmental vulnerability, family enmeshment, and child anxiety; (b) whether parental anxiety accounts for this relationship; and (c) whether this relationship is mediated by levels of child Behavioral Inhibition System sensitivity, a highly persistent temperamental variable demonstrating positive associations with child anxiety. Our study included 38 Canadian parent-child dyads from an urban area, of which 33 children were Caucasian and 18 were girls. Children were aged 9 or 11 years (M = 10.21, SD = 1.07). Children completed measures of anxiety and sensitivity towards threat and parents completed measures of family enmeshment. The results supported a significant positive relationship between family enmeshment and child anxiety; parental anxiety did not account for this relationship; and the relationship was partially mediated by Behavioral Inhibition System sensitivity. Specifically, when the effect of Behavioral Inhibition System sensitivity was controlled for, the association between family enmeshment and child anxiety became non-significant. The results suggest that family enmeshment is associated with levels of child anxiety largely through the function of children's sensitivity to threat. Enmeshed families may increase children's susceptibility to anxiety through their effect on child temperament, specifically sensitivity to threat.

“…Twin studies showed that the BAS and BIS were stable personality traits with moderate heritability (e.g., Takahashi et al, 2007). Researchers have reported associations between various neurotransmitter genes and the BAS.…”
