OBJECTIVE
The present study tested the hypothesis that low behavioral approach system (BAS) sensitivity is associated with social anxiety in combat veterans.
METHOD
Self-report measures of reinforcement sensitivity, combat exposure, social interaction anxiety, and social observation anxiety were administered to 197 Iraq/Afghanistan combat veterans.
RESULTS
As expected, combat exposure, behavioral inhibition system (BIS) sensitivity, and fight-flight-freeze system (FFFS) sensitivity were positively associated with both social interaction anxiety and social observation anxiety. In contrast, BAS sensitivity was negatively associated with social interaction anxiety only. An analysis of the BAS subscales revealed that the Reward Responsiveness subscale was the only BAS subscale associated with social interaction anxiety. BAS-Reward Responsiveness was also associated with social observation anxiety.
CONCLUSION
The findings from the present research provide further evidence that low BAS sensitivity may be associated with social anxiety over and above the effects of BIS and FFFS sensitivity.
目的
本研究检验了低行为趋近系统（BAS）敏感性与退伍军人社交焦虑相关的假设。
方法
对197名伊拉克/阿富汗退伍军人进行了强化敏感性、战斗暴露、社交互动焦虑和社交观察焦虑的自我报告测量。
结果
正如预期的那样，战斗暴露、行为抑制系统（BIS）敏感性和战斗-逃跑-冻结系统（FFFS）敏感性与社交互动焦虑和社交观察焦虑均呈正相关。相比之下，BAS敏感性仅与社交互动焦虑呈负相关。对BAS分量表的分析表明，奖励反应性分量表是与社交互动焦虑相关的唯一BAS分量表。BAS奖励反应性也与社交观察焦虑相关。
结论
本研究结果提供了进一步的证据，表明低BAS敏感性可能在BIS和FFFS敏感性影响之外与社交焦虑相关。
