AB In this case, 62 university students participated in the study, in which a between-subjects design was adopted. Participants were also given the behavioral approach system (BAS) and behavioralinhibition system (BIS) scales. Participants had to read a list of 60 sentences with interpersonal andneutral content: 20 approach (“Pedro accepted Rosa in Whatsapp”), 20 avoidance (“Pedro BlockedRosa in Whatsapp”) and 20 neutral (“Marta thought about the causes of the problem”). After readingthem, they were subjected to 20 min of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in one of the twoconditions: anodal (31) or sham (31). After tDCS, they had to read other list of 60 sentences matchedin approach, avoidance and neutral contents with the former list. We found significant improvementin reading speed after anodal stimulation for social and neutral sentences. Regarding affective traits,we found that anodal stimulation benefitted reading speed in low-BIS and low-BAS participantsand had no effect in either high BAS or high BIS participants. In addition, tDCS improvement inreading speed was significantly lower in avoidance sentences in low-BIS (avoidance) participants.We discuss these results at the light of previous research and highlight the importance of approachand avoidance traits as moderators of tDCS effects.
