Approach-avoidance activation without anterior asymmetry [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Occasionally, the expected effects of approach-avoidance motivation on anterior EEG alpha asymmetry fail to emerge, particularly in studies using affective picture stimuli. These null findings have been explained by insufficient motivational intensity of,

A mobile approach-avoidance task [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods, 2020 AbstractApproach and avoidance tendencies have helped explain phenomena as diverse as addiction (Mogg, Field, & Bradley, 2005), phobia (Rinck & Becker, 2007), and intergroup discrimination (Bianchi, Carnaghi, & Shamloo, 2018; Degner, Essien, & Reichardt, 2016).

Agency Influences Vicarious Approach/Avoidance Effects
Cognition and Emotion, 2023 Social learning is one of the main ways through which preferences are formed. The vicarious approach-avoidance effect consists of forming a preference for attitudinal objects that have been approached over objects that have been avoided by another person (model). Here, with two experiments (overall sample size N = 448 participants), we investigated if

Current Biology, 2014 Animal models of human anxiety often invoke a conflict between approach and avoidance. In these, a key behavioral assay comprises passive avoidance of potential threat and inhibition, both thought to be controlled by ventral hippocampus. Efforts to translate these approaches to clinical contexts are hampered by the fact that it is not known whether ...
