背景资料：行为抑制系统（BIS）和行为接近系统（BAS）的敏感性已被提出在社交焦虑中发挥作用：然而，关于BAS和社交焦虑之间的关系的研究结果是混合的。此外，最近的证据表明，低水平的BAS可能只与社会交往subdimension的social anxiety.Method：BIS，BAS，社会交往焦虑，社会观察anxiety的措施进行了管理，以三个大的模拟sampling.Results：作为假设，BAS是负相关的社会交往焦虑，但在所有三个样本的社会观察焦虑无关。此外，个人与广泛的社会恐惧被发现报告两个较高水平的BIS和较低水平的BAS相比，个人很少或具体的social fears.Conclusion：这些研究结果表明，一个完整的动机帐户广泛的社交焦虑应包括BIS和BAS。由爱思唯尔有限公司发布
Background: Both behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and behavioral approach system (BAS) sensitivity have been proposed to play a role in social anxiety: however, findings concerning the relationship between BAS and social anxiety have been mixed. Moreover, recent evidence suggests that low levels of BAS may only be associated with the social interaction subdimension of social anxiety.Method: Measures of BIS, BAS, social interaction anxiety, and social observation anxiety were administered to three large analogue samples.Results: As hypothesized, BAS was inversely related to social interaction anxiety, but was unrelated to social observation anxiety across all three samples. In addition, individuals with generalized social fears were found to report both higher levels of BIS and lower levels of BAS compared to individuals with few or specific social fears.Conclusion: These findings suggest that a complete motivational account of generalized social anxiety should include both BIS and BAS.
