What trait is linked to the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS)?
What will be an ideal response?
Just as the trait of extraversion is linked to the BAS, the trait of neuroticism is linked to the BIS. High levels of neuroticism are associated with greater BIS sensitivity, and this may account for the predominant negative affect high neuroticism individuals experience. Thus, the higher BIS sensitivity of neurotic individuals explains their greater negative response to stressors or other stimuli they find threatening or punishing.
