Evidence for the embodiment of the automatic approach bias
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Tendencies of approach and avoidance seem to be a universal characteristic of humans. Specifically, individuals are faster in avoiding than in approaching negative stimuli and they are faster in approaching than in avoiding positive stimuli.

Individual differences in bodily freezing predict emotional biases in decision making
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014 Instrumental decision making has long been argued to be vulnerable to emotional responses. Literature on multiple decision making systems suggests that this emotional biasing might reflect effects of a system that regulates innately specified ...

Measuring Implicit Approach–Avoidance Tendencies towards Food Using a Mobile Phone outside the Lab
Foods, 2021 Implicit (‘unconscious’) approach–avoidance tendencies towards stimuli can be measured using the Approach Avoidance Task (AAT). We recently expanded a toolbox for analyzing the raw data of a novel, mobile version of the AAT (mAAT), that asks participants

Differences between left- and right-handers in approach/avoidance motivation: influence of consistency of handedness measures [PDF]
, 2014 Hand preference is often viewed as a troublesome variable in psychological research, with left-handers routinely excluded from studies. Contrary to this, a body of evidence has shown hand preference to be a useful variable when examining human behavior ...
