score_bisbas: Scored data from the Behavioral Inhibition System/Behavioral Activation System

Description

This function scores the Behavioral Inhibition System (BIS)/Behavioral Activation System (BAS) and provides subscale scores for the following behaviors: BIS, BAS Fun Seeking, BAS Drive, and BAS Reward Responsiveness. Note, this script is used to score the 24-item version, which contains 4 filler questions that are not used for scoring. While the scored questions match the 20-item version exactly, the question numbers differ so this script cannot be sued to score the 20-item version at this time. If this functionality is desired, contact the kellertools package developers.
