Revised reinforcement sensitivity theory and laboratory assessment of BIS and BAS in children

Abstract: There is considerable interest in Gray’s reinforcement sensitivity theory. However, few measures of the behavioral approach (BAS) and inhibition systems (BIS) exist for children. Moreover, the theory was substantially revised a decade ago and measurement instruments are still largely based on the old theory. Our aim was to revise questionnaire and laboratory assessments of BIS and BAS for children. Performance on the Point Scoring Reaction Time Task for Children Revised (PSRTT-CR) conformed to theoretical expe… Show more

“…The review of the measurements presents an instrument of children's BIS and BAS scale [14], which were self-reported and used for assessing the sensitivity of BIS/BAS (extend by Gray's theory). These measures have two main controlling behavior systems.…”

“…For example, new situations can be perceived as threatening by some (Torrubia, Ávila, Moltó, & Caseras, 2001), or as a source of reward by others (Carver & White, 1994). Sensitivity to reward activates approach and active pursuit of rewards, such as excitement, novelty, and social acceptance, and is often expressed as positive emotionality and positive anticipation (Colder et al, 2011;Rothbart, 2007;Torrubia et al, 2001). Sensitivity to the threat of punishment activates behavioural inhibition (e.g., withdrawal from situations where one might fail), and is linked to fear and anxiety, negative emotionality, and the anticipation of potential risks and future problems (Carver & White, 1994;Colder et al, 2011;Cloninger, Svarkic, & Przybeck, 1993;Rothbart, 2007;Torrubia et al, 2001).…”

“…In addition, it may be possible that individuals vary in what is considered as reward or punishment in the first place. In other words, the sources of reward or punishment may vary (Colder et al, 2011). For now, little is known about how different sources of reward or punishment are perceived, or how they function in an educational context.…”

“…Impulsivity has been related to Eysenck's Trait of Psychoticism (Colder et al, 2011), and to a smaller tendency to delay gratifi cation, that is, a smaller tendency to choose a larger, more desired delayed reward instead of a smaller, less desired, but immediate reward. In fact, impulsive individuals tend to choose smaller immediate outcomes more frequently when facing the choice between those and larger delayed outcomes (Baumann & Odum, 2012).…”
