We discuss the @entity1314 Scale (Hyp; Eckblad _ Chapman, 1986) and the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS-BAS; Carver _ White, 1994) and Behavioral Activation System (BAS; Gray, 1991) Scales as risk factors for @entity162 . The dysregulation of the BAS is considered to be central and results in higher variability in mood. Therefore, we examined how those scales are associated with mood fluctuations. A total of 59 @entity1 completed a diary for at least 17 days. It included a modified Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (Meyer _ Hautzinger, 2001) assessing @entity308 and @entity162 and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (Watson, Clark, _ Tellegen, 1988). Hyp and BAS predicted levels of @entity162 and of positive affect but also fluctuations of @entity162 . Hyp also predicted instability of negative affect. Our data also suggest that mood variability is a trait-like feature. Both scales seem not to be perfect measures of the dysregulation factor. Future research should assess this dysregulation more directly.
