In second paragraph of Gray's Theory page: include that the BIS and BAS are thought to lead to positive or negative moods based on the reward or punishment. Right now the paper just states the BIS-punishment and BAS- reward connections but not how we observe those different systems. ~Mb4500

Potential Insert:

COMPLETED: There is evidence that the Behavioral Inhibition and Behavioral Activations system are connected to mood control, with positive or negative emotions occurring when rewarded or punished. ~SLS559

In the behavioral inhibition section we should include the FFS and how it was closely related to BIS because of the idea of fight or flight and that the FFS was essentially seen as a punishment system ~Mb4500

Talk about the revised RST model (Gray and McNaughton) which expands the scope of the BAS to all stimuli not just those that are conditioned. ~Mb450p

FFS has also been revised to be named FFFS (to include freeze in addition to fight or flight. (honestly this might need its own section) FFFS is like FFS in response to threats (learned and unlearned). ~Mb450p

COMPLETED: The future research implication section needs to be completely deleted, fully opinionated. This will make the article more neutral. ~SLS559

Explains why dopamine plays a role in BAs but does not explain NE's role, I don't actually think we need the information about the specific neurotransmitters as the evidence behind hormone levels and personality is limited. ~SLS559

COMPLETED: Draft of New 1st Paragraph in compare and contrast section:

After Eysenck’s biology based “top-down” theory of personality, Gray proposed an alternative, “bottom-up” explanation called the Biophychological theory of Personality. Contrary to his previous theory called the reinforcement sensitivity theory, the biopsychological theory of personality is a theory of personality that puts an emphasis on the differences among individuals in different areas of the brain that are responsible for the facets of personality. Gray’s Theory differed from Eysenck's as Eysenck’s theory involved three dimensions: Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism. Each dimension was related to how sensitive a person is to stimuli. For example, people who were rated as having stronger reactions to stimuli should be lower in Extraversion and higher in Neuroticism, according to Eysenck’s theory. Gray's theory relies more heavily on physiological explanation versus arousability which was used to explain Eysenck's theory. Gray's theory involves the Behavioral Activation System and Behavioral Inhibition System and how these systems affect personality. ~SLS559

COMPLETED: Add to history section:

The original version of Gray’s reinforcement sensitivity theory of personality was developed in 1976 and revised it independently in 1982. Then in 2000 further and more thorough revisions were made alongside McNaughton. The purpose of the revision was to adapt the theory according to new inputs of scientific findings since the 1980s. Reinforcement sensitivty theory arose from the biopsyhcological theory of personality. ~Mb4500
