Question

According to _____, two neurological systems—the behavioral activation system (bas) and the behavioral inhibition system (bis)—explain the differences in an organism's attention to environmental rewards and punishments and in this way shape personality.

Answer 1

The answer is "Reinforcement sensitivity theory".

Reinforcement sensitivity theory or as known Gray's Reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST), explains person’s sensitivity to reward in light of three brain-behavioral systems which motivate the difference. The theory in itself was not presented as a theory of personality but is utilized to investigate and asses various emotions.
