The behavioral approach (BAS) and behavioral inhibition (
BIS
) systems are central to theories of both personality and psychopathology, yet agreement on methods of assessing BAS and
BIS
sensitivity has yet to emerge. We compare the Carver and White (1994)
BIS
/BAS scales with putative physiological markers of BAS (pre-ejection period [
PEP
], respiratory sinus arrhythmia [RSA]) and
BIS
(electrodermal responding) reactivity during reward and extinction among 50 undergraduates.
PEP
, RSA, and electrodermal activity each responded strongly to one or more task conditions, but correlations with
BIS
/BAS scores were stronger for measures of affectivity than for any physiological marker. Finally,
PEP
reactivity was the only autonomic index that responded only to reward. These findings suggest that (a) self-report and physiological measures of BAS and
BIS
reactivity are independent, and (b)
PEP
may be superior to RSA as an index of approach motivation.
