“…Our results point to the importance of this cascade of processes, some of which oppose each other, in the successful attainment of desired reward. These results support the work of Carver and White (1994), which inspired the search for multiple BAS processes, but challenge all recent psychometric attempts to measure rRST with a single unidimensional BAS factor (Jackson, 2009;Reuter, Cooper, Smillie, Markett, & Montag, 2015;Smederevac, Mitrovic, Colovic, & Nikolasevic, 2014) -as we showed, impulsivity in particular stands apart from the other BAS factors.…”

“…However, a number of revised RST questionnaires for use with adults have been developed over recent years (Jackson, 2009;Reuter, Cooper, Smillie, Markett, & Montag, 2015;Smederevac, Mitrovic, Colovic, & Nikolasevic, 2014). As a summary and comparison of all RST questionnaires has already been given by , only the most germane aspects of them as they relate to this article are discussed.…”

“…In order to activate BIS, two requirements need to be met: 1) the presence of stimuli that are in a conflicting relationship, and 2) increased alertness (Gray & McNaughton, 2000; quoted by Smederevac, Mitrović, Čolović, & Nikolašević, 2014). In other words, stimulus as such is not important; what is important is the meaning attributed to it (McNaughton & Corr, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT. The main goal of this research paper is to examine the predictive power of personality traits in relation to fear of negative evaluation and social anxiety. The revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (rRST) postulates the existence of three major personality systems -Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS), Behavioural Activation System (BAS), and Fight-Flight-Freeze System (FFFS). In order to assess the personality traits, the Reinforcement Sensitivity Questionnaire was used (RSQ). Fear of negative evaluation was assessed using the Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale -Brief form (FNE-B), while social anxiety evaluation was obtained by Social Anxiety Scale (SA2

“…In particular, since publication of Carver and White's (1994) BIS/BAS scale, theoretical developments in relation to Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (see Corr, 2008) have led to the construction of a new questionnaire (Corr & Cooper, 2013; see also Smederevac, Mitrović, Čolović & Nikolašević, 2014) for measuring the constructs of Revised Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory. We are currently collecting data using this new questionnaire which we anticipate will help to clarify the somewhat elusive nature of any personality differences between left-and right-handers.…”

. (2015). Handedness and behavioural inhibition system/behavioural activation system (BIS/BAS) scores: A replication and extension of Wright, Hardie, and Wilson (2009). Laterality, 20(5), pp. 585-603. doi: 10.1080Laterality, 20(5), pp. 585-603. doi: 10. /1357650X.2015 This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Handedness has been of interest to neuropsychologists for over a century, largely because of its association with asymmetry of hemispheric function (Beaton, 2003; Ocklenburg, Best, Arning, Peterburs & Güntürkün, 2014). In many, probably most, cognitive and behavioural studies lefthanders are excluded with the intention of minimising heterogeneity with respect to the cerebral representation of function or behaviour. Recently, however, a strong plea has been made to include left-handers in these studies as they "represent a substantial portion of the human population and therefore left-handedness falls within the normal range of human diversity" (Willems, Van der Haegen, Fisher & Francks, 2014). If this plea is heeded, then in studies involving left-handers it will be necessary to understand how, if at all, they differ from right-handers (see also Hancock & Bever, 2013). Permanent repository linkPutative cognitive differences between left-and right-handers have long been of interest (see Beaton, 1985;Willems et al., 2014) but differences related to other aspects of behaviour, such as alcohol consumption (Bakan, 1973;London, 1987;1990 but see Denny, 2011, smoking (Harburg, Feldstein & Papsdorf, 1978), sleep duration (Hicks, Pellegrini & Hawkins, 1979) and dream frequency (Schredl, Beaton, Henley-Einion & Blagrove, 2013;2014) have also been reported. Coren (1994) considered that left-and right-handers differ in temperament and personality. One aspect of personality/behaviour that has received considerable attention is anxiety.On the basis of a questionnaire administered to a group of 14-17 year old girls attending a classifying centre at what was then called an "approved" school (i.e. for adolescents with emotional and behavioural difficulties), Orme (1970) found that a greater proportion of 23 left-handers (defined by writing hand) showed high levels of emotional instability as compared with 277 right-handers. This study was criticised by Hicks & Pellegrini (1978) Dillon (1989) reported a significant correlation among 34 male but not 44 female college students between scores on a questionnaire assessing students' worries and scores on a General Laterality Scale. Using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI), Merkelbach, de Ruiter and Olff (1989) compared the handedness of 77 anxiety disorder patients with handedness in a healthy control 6 group and found no evidence of a relationship between left-handedness and clinically diagnosed anxiety.In a recent study Lyle, Chapman and Hatton (2013) Previously they had found (Wright, Hardie & Wilson, 2009) that left-handers reported themselves to have higher BIS scores than right-hande...
