| Sumario: | Two studies were conducted to examine the effect of personal relevance and approach-related action expectation on relative left frontal cortical activity. Data were obtained from a total of 111 college students.

Furthermore, findings indicated that asymmetrical frontal cortical activity can be accounted for by motivational direction rather than by affective valence. Findings are discussed in detail. |
