“…Scratching is one of several self‐directed behaviours, known as displacement behaviours, that are provoked under stressful conditions . Previous studies with healthy subjects reported that subjects who showed displacement behaviours during an acute stress task reported lower stress and heart rate after performing the task . Based on these findings, it has been suggested that displacement behaviours, including scratching, can reduce sympathetic activity, subjective feelings of stress, and tension due to psychological stress, facilitating recovery of homeostasis from stressful events.…”

“…As neuroticism has been proved to be closely related to physiological stress response (44,45), we included it as a control variable in our research. Participants completed an 8-item neuroticism scale from the Big Five Inventory (46).…”

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) function is crucial for adaptation to stress and recovery of homeostasis. Physiological alteration in the HPA axis has been shown to play a pivotal role in the generation of stress-related disorders. A growing number of studies have begun to identify which variables are possible to predict individual HPA response and associated stress vulnerability. The current study investigated the relationship between working memory and the subsequent magnitude of HPA response to psychosocial stress in a non-clinical population. Working memory was assessed utilizing an n-back task (2/3-back) in thirty-nine healthy young men, whose electroencephalograms were recorded. The HPA response was measured using the percentage increase in cortisol to an acute psychosocial stress protocol called the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). Our results show that longer reaction time and smaller amplitude of P2 predict a relatively lower HPA response to stress. Our study provides new insights into how neurocognitive factors can be used to predict HPA response to acute stress.

“…And Judge and Bono [21] in a metaanalysis found that people who were more emotionally unstable had lower levels of job satisfaction. Additionally, neuroticism has been linked to an impaired ability to handle stress [29]. We were unable to find any studies suggesting that for people who are less emotionally stable, situational stress factors would increase situational satisfaction.…”

Popular press reports that using social networking sites (SNSs) can cause increased stress levels in individuals. Although academic literature has attempted to explain the technostress related to social media, much remains unclear how feelings of being drained from SNS activities can be alleviated. This exploratory study draws upon the buffer effect of social support theory and tests it in the context of SNS. We analyze users who experience loneliness and emotional instability to better understand their psychological responses to social overload and receiving social support in terms of effects on SNS satisfaction, exhaustion, and discontinuous usage intention. Data from more than 1,000 users support our hypotheses that receiving social support is significantly related to SNS exhaustion and satisfaction. Interestingly, contrary to prior studies, the relationship between social overload and SNS satisfaction is found to be significantly positive for emotionally unstable users. Implications for research and practice are provided.

Neuroticism and stress: the role of displacement behavior

Abstract: Our results suggest displacement behavior plays an important role in shaping the link between neuroticism and the response to stress.
