Sumario:The consummatory Successive Negative Contrast (cSNC) is one of the most used methods for studying frustration responses in rats. In this paper we present two experiments in which we study the associations between the intensity and duration of cSNC and individual differences in unconditioned fear / anxiety, locomotor activity, novelty seeking and sensitivity to physical pain. The results are discussed in the context of the theories on frustration. As in previous studies, the analysis yielded no consistent associations between the variables studied, although it is proposed that initial response to incentive devaluation could be related to novelty seeking levels.
