Who will fight rather than flee
- People who are more "approach motivated", such as extroverts and risk-takers, tend to perceive the reward in situations. They tend to approach a threat with a "fight" response.
- People who are "avoidant motivated" tend to see the risks/negatives in situations and are inclined to flee a threat.
- A third possible response is a freeze response and is often an extension of a surprise response. All energy is devoted to deciding whether the scene is a threat, a joke, or a harmless incident.
