A series of eight studies focuses on how the avoidance system represented by neuroticism can lead to disinhibited approach tendencies. Based on research which argues that hemispheric preferences predispose the left hemisphere to fast action goal formation, and contralateral pathways between ear and brain, it is proposed that (a) people with a right ear preference will engage in fast action goal formation and (b) disinhibited approach results from neurotic people who reduce anxiety by means of fast action goal formation. Study 1 provides evidence from telesales operators of a link between self-rated ear preference and objective ear preference and provides evidence that disinhibited approach is predicted by a neuroticismxear preference interaction. Studies 2, 3, and 4 provide evidence that ear preference is related to other measures of objective aural preference and action goal formation. Studies 5, 6, 7, and 8 provide evidence that the neuroticismxear preference interaction predicts a variety of different disinhibited approach tendencies.

当回避导致进近时：耳朵偏爱如何与神经质相互作用以预测无效进近。

一系列的八项研究集中在以神经质为代表的回避系统如何导致禁忌倾向。根据研究认为，半球偏爱使左半球容易形成快速行动目标，以及耳与脑之间的对侧路径，因此建议（a）具有右耳偏爱的人将参与快速行动目标的形成，以及（b）禁忌症的产生源于神经质人通过快速行动目标的形成减少焦虑症。研究1提供了来自电话销售员的证据，表明自我评价的耳朵偏爱与客观耳朵偏爱之间存在联系，并提供了证据表明神经质-耳朵偏爱交互作用可以预测抑制行为。研究2、3，4提供了证据表明，耳朵偏爱与客观听觉偏爱和行动目标形成的其他指标有关。研究5、6、7和8提供了证据，表明Neuroticismxear偏好交互作用可预测各种不同的抑制作用倾向。
