The most intensively studied associations between personality and affect have been the associations between extraversion and positive affect and neuroticism and negative affect (Charles, Reynolds, & Gatz, 2001;Costa & McCrae, 1980a;David, Green, Martin, & Suls, 1997;DeNeve & Cooper, 1998;Diener, Oishi, & Lucas, 2003;Diener, Suh, Lucas, & Smith, 1999;Fossum & Barrett, 2000;Gross, Sutton, & Ketelaar, 1998;Izard, Libero, Putnam, & Haynes, 1993;Larsen & Ketelaar, 1989, 1991Lucas & Fujita, 2000;McCrae & Costa, 1991;Meyer & Shack, 1989;Rusting, 1999;Schutte, Malouff, Segrera, Wolf, & Rodgers, 2003;Spain, Eaton, & Funder, 2000;Suh, Diener, & Fujita, 1996;Watson & Clark, 1992). One meta-analysis found that extraversion correlated 0.37 with positive affect (Lucas & Fujita, 2000).…”
