The INTEGRATE Model draws on the framework of ‘integrative neuroscience’ to bring together brain-body and behavioral concepts of emotion, thinking and feeling and their regulation. The key organizing principle is the drive to ‘minimize danger and maximize reward’ that determines what is significant to us at each point in time. Traits of ‘negativity bias’ reflect the tendency to perceive danger rather than reward related information, and this bias influences emotion, thinking and feeling processes.
