The present article provides a theoretical viewpoint on several aspects in frontal asymmetry research. Based on a brief overview of evidence related to an approach-avoidance perspective and the relation to BIS-BAS models on frontal asymmetry I propose that intentionality is valuable to understanding frontal asymmetry. In particular, I argue that defining arguments and previous experimental research often focused on a phase of human action that may be denoted as a volitional phase, which is linked to intentions. Further, I argue that intentions are accompanied by an affective-motivational component that I denote as the strength of an intention. Finally, I suggest that the lack of this kind of intentional strength might be an interesting concept in trying to explain certain subtypes of depression.
本文从理论角度出发，对额侧不对称研究的几个方面进行了探讨。在简要回顾与趋近-回避观点以及与额侧不对称的 BIS-BAS 模型相关的证据之后，我提出，意向性对于理解额侧不对称具有重要意义。具体而言，我认为，定义论点和之前的实验研究通常集中在人类行为的一个阶段，这个阶段可以被称为意志阶段，与意图相关。此外，我认为，意图伴随着情感动机成分，我将其表示为意图的强度。最后，我建议，缺乏这种意图强度可能是一个有趣的概念，可以用来解释某些类型的抑郁症。
