Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent research has identified the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS), which is associated with anxiety and neuroticism, and the Behavioral Approach System (BAS), which is associated with extraversion and positive emotions. Option A is incorrect because the cerebral cortex and corpus callosum are not specifically associated with anxiety or extraversion. Option B is incorrect as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is associated with stress, but not necessarily with anxiety or extraversion. Option C is incorrect as it provides the opposite association of what has been identified in recent research.
