J. A. Gray's theory is known as the reinforcement sensitivity theory, which proposes two functionally independent motivational systems (the Behavioral Inhibition System and the Behavioral Approach System) that have a bearing on our understanding of underlying temperament factors driving extraversion and neuroticism. The Five Factor Model is a different theoretical framework that proposes five broad dimensions of personality (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism). The Behavioral Inhibition System and the Behavioral Approach System are specific components of Gray's theory and are not separate theories in themselves.
