What trait is linked to the Behavioral Approach System (BAS)?
What will be an ideal response?
Recent versions of Gray's theory link extraverts' higher levels of positive affect to the BAS. For example, reviewers of the ties between the dopaminergic systems (associated with feeling good) and extraversion conclude that there is a strong connection between the two. A more dominant BAS could account for extraverts' higher well-being scores than introverts since extraverts are more likely to find all positive experiences more rewarding, including positive social experiences. In contrast, as you would expect, some research findings show those with low BAS sensitivity are more prone to depression. So in simple terms, high BAS sensitivity equals more positive affect and low BAS sensitivity equals less positive affect.
