Abstract
This study aimed to compare the activity of brain/behavioral systems (behavioral activity system, behavioral inhibition system, fight-flight system) and happiness in male and female students. In the present study, 100 students (55 female and 45 male) were selected by convenience sampling method. The participants were asked to complete the Gray-Wilson personality Questionnaire (GWPQ) and oxford happiness inventory (0HI). Analysis of the data involved both descriptive and inferential statistics including means, standard deviations and Student's t-test. The results show there is a significant difference between two groups in level activity of behavioral activity system (BAS), behavioral inhibition system (BIS) and fight- flight system (FFS). Generally, happiness rate and activity level of BAS in males group is more than females group, but females group were more active in BIS and FFS. The results show that happiness rate is increased by more active BAS. Accordingly, the findings of this study conform with Gray model abut reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST).
