Abstract
This study investigated whether BIS or BAS sensitivities predicted differences in perception of valence and activation of eight different emotions. Results indicated that individuals high in BIS perceived higher activation when feeling guilty, sad, ashamed, or anxious, while those high in BAS perceived greater arousal in happiness, pride, and anger.
