Sažetak
Reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST, Gray, 1970) proposes three neuropsychological systems accounting for two fundamental types of behaviour: approach and avoidance. Approach behaviour is explained by the behavioral activation system (BAS) which provides the neural substrate for impulsivity. Avoidance behavior is clarified by two systems: the behavioral inhibitions system (BIS) which relates to avoidance of conditioned aversive stimuli and provides the neural substrate for anxiety ; and the fight-flight-freeze system (FFFS) which relates to avoidance of unconditioned aversive stimuli and provides the neural substrate for fear. RST has been revised into the revised reinforcement sensitivity theory (rRST) where a clearer distinction is made between BIS and FFFS. Research suggests that the overactivity of these systems underlies the ethiology of proactive and reactive aggression. Dominance in approach behaviour increases the risk of proactive aggression, while dominance in avoidance behaviour increases the risk of reactive aggression. While no study has examined rRST in explaining proactive and reactive aggression, the aim of this study is to compare RST and rRST in authorizing those subtypes of aggression. Measures of aggression, BAS, BIS, and FFFS were obtained on adolescents (N=81). Regressional and correlational analyses were applied. Ethical principles were respected. The results show no differences between RST and rRST in explaining proactive and reactive aggression.
