Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Scale (BIS/BAS)

The Behavioral Inhibition and Activation Scales (BIS/BAS) measure behavioral inhibition (BIS) and behavioral activation (BAS). This instrument consists of one inhibitory factor (BIS scale) and three activational factors (BAS scales). The BIS scale includes items that refer to the anticipation of punishment. The BAS scales consist of items that refer to the anticipation of reward and can be divided into three components: fun seeking (BAS-Fun), reward responsiveness (BAS-Reward), and drive (BAS-Drive).
