Answer to Question 1

Both BAS-impulsivity and extraversion incorporate incentive seeking and the tendency to experience positive emotions. Gray's BAS differs from the concept extraversion in two ways. First, unlike the concept extraversion, the BAS does not include a sociability component. Second, the BAS encompasses the notion of impulsivity, which the concept of extraversion does not.
