Behavioral Inhibition and Avoidance: Identifying Vulnerabilities to Avoidant Behavior
… vulnerability that influences approach (Behavioral Approach System; BAS) and avoidance (Behavioral Inhibition System; BIS) behaviors. The purpose of the study was to identify, using observed behavioral approach tasks, whether or not BIS/BAS influenced avoidant behavior above and beyond …

Behavioral inhibition and test anxiety: an empirical investigation of Gray's theory
The effects of test anxiety on behavioral inhibition were examined using three computerized behavioral tasks. High test anxious subjects demonstrated more behavioral inhibition than low test anxious subjects, according to frequency measures on two of the three behavioral tasks. Group differences in …

Examining the Role of Behavioral Inhibition in Harsh Parenting Preferences: An Analog Study
… relationship. This study examined the role of behavioral inhibition in harsh parenting preferences when individuals were exposed to an infant crying noise.</p> <p>Participants (n = 129) were undergraduate students (Mage = 19.97 years; 79.8% female; 47.3% African American, 39.5% Caucasian) who …

Behavioral Inhibition/Activation and Autonomic Control of the Heart: Extending the Autonomic Flexibility Model
… accompany anxiety and concomitant reductions in behavioral (e.g., cognitive and emotional) flexibility. The present study aimed to extend the autonomic flexibility model through the inclusion of individual differences in the sensitivity of the independent motivational systems presumed to underlie …

The Influence of Behavioral Inhibition and Approach on Affective Modification of the Startle Response
Startle modification is a robust phenomenon that has been used as a tool in the research of emotion and motivation. In a picture viewing paradigm, valence of affective pictures modulates startle magnitude. There is a debate on whether emotional or attentional processes are the mechanism of startle …

The Interaction between Child Behavioral Inhibition and Parenting Behaviors across Development: Effects on Adolescent Psychopathology
… demonstrated that the interaction of children's behavioral inhibition and certain parenting behaviors influences children's psychological outcomes. However, the ability to draw firm conclusions from these studies is severely limited by methodological weaknesses. In the current study, data were …

Continuity of Behavioral Inhibition in Early Childhood: The Impact of Parental Attitudes toward Socially Inhibited Behavior
Although behavioral inhibition has been found to be relatively stable, such stability has not always been shown. Moreover, although an association between parental shyness and child behavioral inhibition has been reported, this relationship is imperfect and indirect. The present study proposed that …

The Role of Effortful Control in Moderating the Relationship Between Temperamental Shyness, Fearfulness, and Internalizing Behaviors
… with temperament characteristics, specifically Behavioral Inhibition (BI) traits, such as Shyness and Fearfulness. While Effortful Control (EC) has been posited as a potential moderator in the relationship between heightened negative emotionality and Internalizing problems, empirical evidence …

Examining the neurovisceral integration model through fNIRS
… One important aspect of this flexibility is behavioral inhibition (Thayer and Friedman, 2002). During a behavioral inhibition task, the central autonomic network (CAN), which is comprised of a series of feedback loops, must be able to integrate information and react to these inputs flexibly …

Acquisition and retention of an active avoidance response to intense white noise: Kamin effect
… Kamin effect may be mediated by stress-induced behavioral inhibition. The results of Experiment 3 demonstrated that scopolamine, an anticholinergic drug, alters the typical U-shaped avoidance function whereas methylscopolamine, an anticholinergic which produces the same peripheral effects as …

The Effect of Typical and Atypical Antipsychotics on the MK-801 Induced Deficit in Behavioural Inhibition
… (MK-801) has been shown to produce deficits in behavioral inhibition measured as the lack of extinction during operant procedures. As such, MK-801 has the potential to be used as a preclinical animal model of cognitive deficits that arise in schizophrenia. The present thesis sought to explore if …

The relationship between executive functions and fantasy orientation
… memory, cognitive inhibitory control, and behavioral inhibitory control. Simultaneously, children develop an understanding of the difference between fantasy and reality, with some children developing a strong preference towards fantastical play and thinking. One hundred and six preschoolers …

Assessing measurement invariance in long and short forms of the BIS/BAS scales across demographic subgroups with validation via impulsivity and internalizing and externalizing problem scales.
The Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System (BIS/BAS) Scales are widely used to assess sensitivity to punishment and reward. Despite their broad application, few studies have evaluated measurement invariance across diverse sociodemographic groups. This study examined invariance of …

Frontal lobe asymmetry and impulsive aggression : a reinforcement sensitivity study.
… violent response characterized by a loss of behavioral control. Previous physiological studies have found impulsive aggressors (IAs) have sensory and informational processing deficits. Undergraduate male volunteers (n = 15 IAs, n = 15 controls) completed a resting EEG and two affective …

Does A Sense Of Control Moderate Self-Regulation Strategies And Performance? When Feedback Lingers
… to participate in this study completed the Behavioral Inhibition/Behavioral Approach Scale (BIS/BAS) in order to determine individual promotion or prevention chronic self-regulatory strategies, as well as the revised Children's Attributional Style Questionnaire (CASQ-R) to determine a sense …

Cognitive Control as a Function of Anger Expression Style: A Combined ERP and fMRI Investigation
… regions involved in conflict monitoring and behavioral inhibition. This exaggerated response was similar for neutral high-conflict stimuli and negatively valenced stimuli. Results suggest that anger is not a unitary construct and that anger suppression in particular appears to be linked to …
