“…The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) is a 20 items questionnaire (e.g., ''I never get what I want, so it's foolish to want anything'') that measures the hopelessness and the internal consistency of it was .86 (Tanaka, Sakamoto, Ono, Fujihara, & Kitamura, 1996). The Behavioral Inhibition System and the Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS; Carver & White, 1994; translating Japanese by Takahashi et al, 2007) were also used. BIS is activated by cues of potential threat, punishment, or non-reward, and its function is ''to suppress behavior that is expected to lead to punishment'' (Corr, Pickering, & Gray, 1995).…”

“…BIS (item sample; ''I have very few fears compared to my friends.'') assesses an individual's response to anxiety-relevant cues in a given environment, and BIS activation is associated with anxiety (Gray, Feldon, Rawlins, Owen, & McNaughton, 1978), being described as anxiety (Takahashi et al, 2007). In contrast, BAS controls sensitivity to potential reward; its purpose is to initiate behavior that brings the organism closer to biological reinforcers, such as food or sexual partners (Corr et al, 1995).…”

“…assesses an individual's disposition to pursue and achieve goals, and BAS activation associated with the anticipation of pleasure. Gray associated impulsivity with reward seeking behavior (Norman et al, 2008), and BAS was referred to as impulsivity (Takahashi et al, 2007). Cronbach's alphas of the Japanese version are .80 for BIS and .81 for BAS (Takahashi et al, 2007).…”

a b s t r a c tSubstance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS; Conrod & Woicik, 2002) measures four risk personality dimensions related to substance use; anxiety sensitivity (AS), hopelessness (H), sensation seeking (SS), impulsivity (IMP). The aim of this study is to develop the Japanese version of Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS-J) and to probe the reliability and validity of this scale to the Japanese context. This study consists of the test of the factor analysis (Study 1; N = 462), the reliability (Study 2; N = 64), and the validity (Study 3; N = 182). Our findings are as below; Study 1 showed the conformed factorial structure of SURPS-J and Study 2 revealed the good test-retest reliability. Additionally, Study 3 demonstrated the adequate validity of SURPS-J and its sensitivity in identifying risky drinking motivations and lifetime tobacco and alcohol use. Results showed that high H individuals are likely to experience smoking under the personal and collective situations, while high SS and IMP individuals are prone to drink alcohol under the collective situation. Additionally, high AS individuals are prone to drink by virtue of negative reinforcement motives and high SS and IMP drink by reason of all drinking reinforcement motives.

Trait forgivingness is associated with subjective well-being and positive health outcomes. However, researchers have argued recently that in collectivistic cultures, forgiveness is primarily determined by cultural norms that value social harmony and the forgivers' dispositions are less important than in individualistic cultures. The present study tested whether 18 dispositional variables, such as Big Five personality traits, would be more strongly correlated with trait forgivingness in Canada (an individualistic country) than in Japan (a collectivistic country). A series of tests of two independent correlations revealed that even without the p-value adjustment for multiple tests, only two of the 18 dispositional variables were more strongly correlated with trait forgivingness in Canada than in Japan. This result suggests that there is considerable similarity among dispositional correlates across the two countries. In both countries, trait forgivingness was correlated with similar dispositional variables, such as agreeableness, extraversion, and neuroticism.

“…The BIS/BAS scale, Japanese version (Takahashi et al, 2007) was used as a personality trait scale; it consists of seven BIS (score range, 7-28) and 13 BAS (score range, 13-52) items for a total of 20 items (total score range, 20-80). As the BIS/BAS subscales differ in the number of included items, the total score cannot be effectively used to determine which participants tended toward BI or BA.…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of personality traits on the impact of emotional stimuli focusing on n-back task performance and brain activity changes. Previous neuroimaging studies have reported that individual differences in emotional processing can be attributed to personality traits, which is linked to the hemisphere-specific activity of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in response to emotional stimuli. Thirty right-handed healthy young male participants were recruited in this study and classified into two groups, the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) group and behavioral activation system (BAS) group, based on their scores on the BIS/BAS scale. Participants saw six emotional images (two each with negative, neutral, and positive valence), which were selected from the International Affective Picture System and validated in a preliminary experiment. Then, a dual 2-back task that simultaneously employed auditory-verbal and visuospatial stimuli was conducted. Additionally, the concentration of oxygenated hemoglobin (Oxy-Hb) changes in the DLPFC was measured during the image presentation and dual 2-back task by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The task performance showed a significantly increased reaction time (RT) in the negative valence independent of personality traits. The results of Oxy-Hb changes showed a significant interaction between personality traits and emotional valence. Further, the hemisphere-subgroup analysis revealed that the right DLPFC activity was significantly higher in the negative valence than in the neutral valence in the BIS group; the right DLPFC activity was also significantly higher in the BIS group than in the BAS group in the positive valence. There was no main effect or interaction in the left DLPFC activity. These findings suggest the importance of considering personality traits when examining the impact of emotional stimuli.
