A model to understand risk behavior: Interoception awareness and motivational systems in the binge watching. by Giuseppe Forte, Francesca Favieri, Francesca Agostini, Maria Casagrande, Renata Tambelli

“…While in the first case, interoception and BIS/BAS systems interact, and BIS and interoception positively affect the increase of BW as a leisure activity, in BW as at-risk behavior, the interoceptive-motivational link is lost, and a different pattern of association with the behavior emerges. BIS and BW are still positively associated with the problematic expression of the behavior. …”
