“…Individuals scoring low on extraversion and high on neuroticism were especially likely to experience higher levels of global anxiety 3 years later. Similarly, findings from Hotard et al (1989) and McFatter (1994) demonstrated a significant cross-sectional relation between a Neuroticism X Extraversion interaction and subjective well-being (and according to McFatter, 1994, positive and negative affect and depression were also significantly related to this interaction).…”

The authors tested the extent to which the personality dimensions of neuroticism, extraversion, and psychoticism (H. J. Eysenck & S. B. G. Eysenck, 1975) prospectively predicted global anxiety (assessed by items from the Brief Symptom Inventory: L. R. Derogatis & M. S. Spencer, 1982). The authors also examined prospective relations among these personality dimensions and depression to evaluate the specificity of findings. Participants were 466 young adults, primarily undergraduate students, assessed twice over a 3-year interval. An interaction between neuroticism and extraversion predicted both global anxiety and depression 3 years later. Findings indicated that personality, in particular the combination of high neuroticism and low extraversion, may play an important predisposing, etiological role in anxiety. Interpretations and implications of the predictive importance of the Neuroticism x Extraversion interaction in anxiety are discussed, and further speculations about the relation between anxiety and depression are put forth.

“…However, several lines of evidence suggest that extraversion is associated with positive emotion (Hotard, McFatter, McWhirter & Stegall, 1989;McCrae & Costa, 1991 ;Meyer & Shack, 1989;Williams, 1981) and Larsen and Ketelaar (1991) found that extraverts show heightened emotional reactivity when imagining agreeable events. Therefore, we expected that extraversion and, by extension, novelty seeking could be related to the number of positive memories or projections (hypothesis 2a and 4a, respectively).…”

Recent research on autonoetic consciousness indicates that the ability to remember the past and the ability to project oneself into the future are closely related. The purpose of the present study was to confirm this proposition by examining whether the relationship observed between personality and episodic memory could be extended to episodic future thinking and, more generally, to investigate the influence of personality traits on selfinformation processing in the past and in the future. Results show that Neuroticism and Harm Avoidance predict more negative past memories and future projections. Other personality dimensions exhibit a more limited influence on mental time travel (MTT). Therefore, our study provide an additional evidence to the idea that MTT into the past and into the future rely on a common set of processes by which past experiences are used to envision the future.

“…Some investigations have shown that extraversion has a consistent and strong correlation with psychological well-being (Headey & Wearing, 1989;Hotard, McFatter, McWhirter, & Stegall, 1989;Lu, 1995). This relation is based on the consideration that extraverts are happier because they seem to have more social skills; they are more assertive and more cooperative.…”

“…Neuroticism is also considered to be negatively associated with psychological well-being (Headey & Wearing, 1989;Hotard et al, 1989;Argyle & Lu, 1990) and has therefore been incorporated, although somewhat later, in the study of psychological well-being.…”

This work examines the association between personality dimensions (extraversion and neuroticism) and subjective well-being. Subjective well-being is associated both with extraversion and neuroticism, and currently, neuroticism is generally considered the more important. A total of 368 students from the University of Rovira i Virgili completed the Extraversion and Neuroticism subscales of the revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire
