Sensibilidad a la recompensa y al castigo, personalidad, impulsividad y aprendizaje: un estudio en un contexto de violencia de pareja

The aim of this research is to study sensitivity to reward and punishment patterns in a learning and their relation to different personality dimensions in a sample of 81 female victims of intimate partner violence. Sensitivity to reward and punishment, positive and negative affection, impulsivity and personality of the participants are all evaluated through self-report evidence. In order to assess the impact upon learning, an emotional reversal learning task is performed. The ANOVA (analysis of variance) tests that were run show little relationship between self-report measures and what their behavioral correlates should be in the affective reversal learning paradigm, discussing both theoretical and applied implications.
