Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS) is primarily concerned with the response to punishment, novelty, and signals of nonreward or potential pain, leading to behaviors such as inhibition, increased vigilance, and anxiety.

Threat reduction strategies are more related to coping mechanisms and interventions rather than the inherent functions of the BIS.
