Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gray's theory of personality identifies the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) as responsible for avoidance behavior. The BIS is associated with anxiety and is responsible for detecting potential threats and inhibiting behavior to avoid negative outcomes. Reward dependence and strong nervous system are not directly related to avoidance behavior, and monoamine oxidase (an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters) may play a role in mood regulation but is not specifically linked to avoidance behavior according to Gray's theory.
