One of the major neuropsychological models of personality,
developed by world-renowned psychologist Professor Jeffrey Gray, is
based upon individual differences in reactions to punishing and
rewarding stimuli. This biological theory of personality - now
widely known as ''Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory'' RST - has had
a major influence on motivation, emotion and psychopathology
research. In 2000, RST was substantially revised by Jeffrey Gray,
together with Neil McNaughton, and this revised theory proposed
three principal motivationemotion systems: the
''Fight-Flight-Freeze System'' FFFS, the ''Behavioural Approach
System'' BAS and the ''Behavioural Inhibition System'' BIS. This
is the first book to summarise the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory
of personality and bring together leading researchers in the field.
It summarizes all of the pre-2000 RST research findings, explains
and elaborates the implications of the 2000 theory for personality
psychology and lays out the future research agenda for RST.
