调节焦点理论确定了两个独立的动机系统，促进和预防，满足不同的监管需求，并有差异的相关方法和避免。在心理生理学文献中，接近和回避相关的情绪和动机取向与额叶皮层活动的不对称性有关。为了综合这些文献，我们研究了慢性调节焦点的内隐评估和静息额叶皮质不对称的脑电图（EEG）指数之间的关系。结果支持促进调节焦点与左额叶活动相关，预防调节焦点与右额叶活动相关的假设。讨论强调了这种合成如何可能有利于理论化的监管重点，动机和情绪之间的关系，以及不对称的额叶皮层活动的功能。(C)2003年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Regulatory focus theory identifies two separate motivational systems, promotion and prevention, that fulfill different regulatory needs and are differentially related to approach and avoidance. In the psychophysiological literature, approach- and avoidance-related emotions and motivational orientations have been linked to asymmetries in frontal cortical activity. In an effort to synthesize these literatures, we examined the relationship between an implicit assessment of chronic regulatory focus and an electroencephalographic (EEG) index of resting frontal cortical asymmetry. Results supported the hypothesis that promotion regulatory focus would be associated with greater left frontal activity, and prevention regulatory focus would be associated with greater right frontal activity. Discussion highlights how this synthesis may benefit theorizing of the relationship between regulatory focus, motivation, and emotion, and of the function of asymmetrical frontal cortical activity.
