“…As expected, BIS score was predicted by HA score (jointly with RD score). This is congruent with HA definition as responsible for inhibition of behaviors (Cloninger, 1987), as well as with former correlation studies between the BIS/BAS scales and the TPQ (Carver & White, 1994;Caseras et al, 2003). Moreover, Corr, Pickering, and Gray (1995) and Caseras et al (2003), conducting correlations between the TPQ and the Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ), found that HA correlated positively with neuroticism and negatively with extraversion (HA = N + E-), which situates HA in the same place as BIS within the Eysenckian personality space (Gray, 1970).…”

“…The analysis yielded three factors: an impulsivity factor (that included NS and FS dimensions), a punishment sensitivity factor (that included HA and BIS dimensions), and a reward sensitivity factor (that included RR, Dr and Ps dimensions). Moreover, two studies (Carver & White, 1994;Caseras, Ávila, & Torrubia, 2003) investigated the relationships between Gray's model (as measured by the Carver and White BIS/BAS scales) and Cloninger's dimensions. They both found positive correlations between BIS and both HA and RD, between NS and FS, between RR and RD, and negative correlations between HA and both Dr and FS subscales.…”

Novelty seeking and harm avoidance are two major temperamental dimensions from the Cloninger's biosocial model of personality that are theoretically related to Gray's behavioral approach system (BAS) and behavioral inhibition system (BIS), respectively. The revised version of the temperament and character inventory (TCI-R) and the Carver and White BIS/BAS scales were developed to assess these constructs. Despite the theoretical relationships between the two models, no study investigated the associations between these scales. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the relationships between the TCI-R and the BIS/BAS scales. A total of 150 healthy participants (75 females) completed the BIS/BAS scales and the TCI-R. Results showed that harm avoidance and reward dependence were good predictors of BIS, whereas persistence and novelty seeking were good predictors of BAS, when age and gender were controlled. This study supports the theoretical links between BIS and harm avoidance, and between BAS and novelty seeking, and extends these links to other Cloninger's dimension.

“…Previous studies have further shown that harm avoidance decreases with symptom improvement in patients with depression (Brody et al, 2000;Chien & Dunner, 1996;Strakowski, Dunayevich, Keck, & McElroy, 1995), dysthymia (Hellerstein, Kocsis, Chapman, Stewart, & Harrison, 2000), obsessive-compulsive disorder (Brody et al, 2000;Lyoo et al, 2001), generalized anxiety disorder (Allgulander, Cloninger, Przybeck, & Brandt, 1998) and SAD (Hofmann & Loh, 2006). Moreover, harm avoidance has been found to correlate highly with neuroticism (Caseras, Avila, & Torrubia, 2003), a personality trait that is also strongly associated with anxiety and mood disorders (Clark, Watson, & Mineka, 1994). Further studies will need to be done in order to establish the discriminant validity and stability of the HSPS.…”

Sensory-processing sensitivity in social anxiety disorder: Relationship to harm avoidance and diagnostic subtypes

Sensory-processing sensitivity is assumed to be a heritable vulnerability factor for shyness. The present study is the first to examine sensory-processing sensitivity among individuals with social anxiety disorder. The results showed that the construct is separate from social anxiety, but it is highly correlated with harm avoidance and agoraphobic avoidance. Individuals with a generalized subtype of social anxiety disorder reported higher levels of sensory-processing sensitivity than individuals with a non-generalized subtype. These preliminary findings suggest that sensory-processing sensitivity is uniquely associated with the generalized subtype of social anxiety disorder.Recommendations for future research are discussed.

Benzodiazepines and methadone use has been associated with various neuropsychological impairments. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have been carried out on the effect of these substances (either separately or combined) on impulsive personality, including studies in prisoners. The aim of this study is to examine the impulsive personality of a sample of 134 male prisoners using the Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (Torrubia, Avila, Molto, & Caseras, 2001) and the UPPS-P Scale . Some of these were methadone users, methadone and benzodiazepines users, polydrug users in abstinence and non-dependent drug users. The results showed that drug users have greater sensitivity to reward, positive urgency, negative urgency and sensation seeking than non-dependent users.Methadone users showed more sensitivity to punishment and lack of perseverance with respect to other users. No differences were found between methadone+benzodiazepines users and other groups. The secondary aim is to examine which impulsive personality dimensions are related to the two motivational systems proposed by Gray (BIS-BAS) using exploratory factor analysis. Results showed two different components. One component was defined by the subscales sensitivity to reinforcement, positive urgency, negative urgency and sensation seeking. The second component was defined by the subscales sensitivity to punishment, lack of perseverance and lack of premeditation.
