“…Prior work has found that HPS scores correspond to bipolar disorder diagnoses (e.g., Eckblad and Chapman 1986) and current mania symptoms (Klein et al 1996). Previous research studies have used the HPS as a continuous measure of hypomania risk and uncovered similar outcomes to those found among individuals with bipolar disorder (e.g., Eisner et al 2008, Study 2;Giovanelli et al 2013;Jones et al 2007; Thomas and Bentall 2002).…”

Tracking the Emotional Highs but Missing the Lows: Hypomania Risk is Associated With Positively Biased Empathic Inference

Empathy plays a vital role in emotional and social functioning. Research suggests that empathy may be disrupted in disorders of negative emotion (e.g., depression, anxiety), though less work has examined how empathy is impacted in disorders of positive emotion (e.g., mania), which are associated with positive biases in emotion experience and perception. The present research explored how variation in self-reported hypomania risk was associated with performance on an objective empathic accuracy task with real-world targets. Risk for hypomania was associated with heightened moment-by-moment detection of emotional up-shifts (i.e., increases in positive emotion) for targets describing positive events; however, it was also associated with overly-positive retrospective ratings (i.e., overestimating global positive emotion) for targets describing negative events. These findings suggest that hypomania risk may lead to positive biases in detecting others' emotion across both positive and negative life events when using both micro-level continuous and global retrospective emotion measures.

“…BAS scores have been found to relate to a propensity for setting more approach goals (goals of moving toward something) as opposed to avoidance goals (goals of moving away from something) (Jones et al 2007) and to valuing approach goals (Alloy et al 2009). BAS scores predict high arousal positive affect during goal pursuit (Heponiemi et al 2003) but also responses after receiving a reward, including affect (De Pascalis et al 2010, Germans & Kring 2000), confidence (Meyer et al 2010), and neural activity (Beaver et al 2006, Van den Berg et al 2011).…”

“…Further evidence that such elevations are not just the result of current symptoms comes from studies showing that BAS sensitivity levels are elevated before onset among those at risk for the disorder, as indicated by HPS scores (Applegate et al 2009, Carver & Johnson 2009, Fulford et al 2008, Johnson & Carver 2006, Jones et al 2007, Jones & Day 2008, Mansell et al 2008, Meyer et al 1999, Meyer & Hofmann 2005). It does not appear, then, that elevated BAS levels are an epiphenomenon of symptom levels.…”

For over two decades, theorists have suggested that mania relates to heightened sensitivity of the behavioral activation system (BAS). In this article, we review a burgeoning empirical literature on this model, drawing on both cross-sectional and prospective studies. As evidence has emerged for this model, we argue that it is time to consider more specific aspects of BAS sensitivity in this disorder. We review evidence that bipolar disorder relates to an increased willingness to expend effort toward reward and to increases in energy and goal pursuit after an initial reward. We conclude by considering the strengths and weaknesses of this literature, with an eye toward future directions and implications for treatment.

BackgroundIndividuals at risk for, and diagnosed with, bipolar disorder (BD) appear to have heightened levels of creativity. Although inspiration is creativity, the ways in which individuals appraise and respond emotionally to inspiration in BD remain unexplored.MethodThe present study reports on a new measure of inspiration (External and Internal Sources of Inspiration Scale - EISI). The reliability and validity of EISI were explored along with associations between EISI and BD risk.ResultsAmong a cross-national student sample (N = 708) 5 inspiration factors were derived from EISI (self, other, achievement, prosocial and external inspiration). Reliability, concurrent validity and convergent/divergent validity were good. Total EISI and all subscales were associated with increased positive rumination, and total EISI and the achievement EISI subscale were associated with impulsivity. Total EISI, self and prosocial EISI subscales were independently associated with BD risk and current mania symptoms.ConclusionThis new measure of inspiration is multidimensional, reliable and valid. Findings suggest that self and prosocial focused inspiration are particularly associated with risk for BD after controlling for current manic symptoms. Future studies in clinical populations may illuminate the relationships between inspiration and creativity in BD.
