One of the major neuropsychological models of personality,developed by world-renowned psychologist Professor Jeffrey Gray, isbased upon individual differences in reactions to punishing andrewarding stimuli. This biological theory of personality - nowwidely known as 'Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory' (RST) - has hada major influence on motivation, emotion and psychopathologyresearch. In 2000, RST was substantially revised by Jeffrey Gray,together with Neil McNaughton, and this revised theory proposedthree principal motivation/emotion systems: the'Fight-Flight-Freeze System' (FFFS), the 'Behavioural ApproachSystem' (BAS) and the 'Behavioural Inhibition System' (BIS). Thisis the first book to summarise the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theoryof personality and bring together leading researchers in the field.It summarizes all of the pre-2000 RST research findings, explainsand elaborates the implications of the 2000 theory for personalitypsychology and lays out the future research agenda for RST.

Oneneeds the space and reliability to predict continuity to have theconfidence not to be afraid of revolutions * Taking the time tothink of the future is more essential now than ever, as cultureaccelerates beyond its ability to be measured * Probable things arevastly outnumbered by countless near-impossible eventualities.Reality is statistically forced to be extraordinary; fiction is notallowed this freedom This is a potent book that combines thechronicling of fantastic technology with equally visionaryphilosophical inquiry.
