Research on the validity of the behavioral inhibition system/behavioral approach system (BIS/BAS) scales focused on adolescent, student and adult populations. This study is the first to examine the psychometric properties of the BIS/BAS scales in a community ( = 368) and a clinical sample ( = 160) of older adults. Exploratory structural equation modelling with target rotation to the Carver and White model supported the construct validity of the BIS/BAS scales. Internal consistencies of the scales were generally satisfactory. Female participants scored higher on BIS and BAS-Reward Responsiveness compared with males. The community-dwelling sample scored higher on BAS-Drive and BAS-Reward Responsiveness compared with the clinical sample. Concerning the nomological net, BIS was positively related to Anxiety, Depression, maladaptive coping strategies, Neuroticism and Cluster C personality disorders. BAS was positively related to Openness, Extraversion, Active Confronting and Cluster B personality disorders and negatively related to the schizoid personality disorder. The BIS/BAS Scales are a useful instrument for measuring Gray's theory of personality in older adults.
对行为抑制系统/行为趋近系统（BIS/BAS）量表的有效性的研究主要集中在青少年、学生和成年人群体。本研究首次在社区（n=368）和临床老年人群体（n=160）中检验了 BIS/BAS 量表的心理测量特性。采用目标旋转到 Carver 和 White 模型的探索性结构方程建模支持了 BIS/BAS 量表的结构效度。这些量表的内部一致性通常是令人满意的。与男性相比，女性参与者在 BIS 和 BAS-Reward Responsiveness 上的得分更高。与临床样本相比，社区居住样本在 BAS-Drive 和 BAS-Reward Responsiveness 上的得分更高。关于效标网络，BIS 与焦虑、抑郁、适应不良的应对策略、神经质和 Cluster C 人格障碍呈正相关。BAS 与开放性、外向性、积极应对和 Cluster B 人格障碍呈正相关，与分裂样人格障碍呈负相关。BIS/BAS 量表是测量老年人 Gray 人格理论的有用工具。
