“…Consistent with demonstrated sex differences in emotion regulation, the neural signature of dispositional use of suppression identified in our current study was specific to men who tend to habitually use and are more successful at implementing suppression (Cai et al, 2016;Gross & John, 2003). Similarly, electromyography findings have shown that men show reduced emotional expressions when viewing negative emotional stimuli (Grossman & Wood, 1993).…”

Introduction Previous research has identified specific brain regions associated with regulating emotion using common strategies such as expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal. However, most research focuses on a priori regions and directs participants how to regulate, which may not reflect how people naturally regulate outside the laboratory. Method Here, we used a data‐driven approach to investigate how individual differences in distributed intrinsic functional brain connectivity predict emotion regulation tendency outside the laboratory. Specifically, we used connectome‐based predictive modeling to extract functional connections in the brain significantly related to the dispositional use of suppression and reappraisal. These edges were then used in a predictive model and cross‐validated in novel participants to identify a neural signature that reflects individual differences in the tendency to suppress and reappraise emotion. Results We found a significant neural signature for the dispositional use of suppression, but not reappraisal. Within this whole‐brain signature, the intrinsic connectivity of the default mode network was most informative of suppression tendency. In addition, the predictive performance of this model was significant in males, but not females. Conclusion These findings help inform how whole‐brain networks of functional connectivity characterize how people tend to regulate emotion outside the laboratory.

“…), was also the focus of a series of articles (see Luciano, Leisser, Wright, & Martin, 2004;Luciano, Wright, & Bates, 2008;Roberts, 2002;Robinson, 2008). Indicative of how the ambivert has become a particularly Eysenckian concept, associated with his theories and methods of the biology of personality, the ambivert still occasionally appears in event-related potential (ERP; research that analyzes EEG [electroencephalography] data) experiments on personality outside of Personality and Individual Differences (e.g., Cai, Lou, Long, & Yuan, 2016;Georgiev, Christov, & Philipova, 2014;Hervas & Lopez-Gomez, 2016). The ambivert has also found its way outside of the Eysenckian lexicon and into more mainstream psychology and consequently, once again, into popular culture.…”

The ambivert: A failed attempt at a normal personality

Recently, attention has been drawn toward an overlooked and nearly forgotten personality type: the ambivert. This paper presents a genealogy of the ambivert, locating the various contexts it traversed in order to highlight the ways in which these places and times have interacted and changed-ultimately elucidating our current situation. Proposed by Edmund S. Conklin in 1923, the ambivert only was meant for normal persons in between the introvert and extravert extremes. Although the ambivert could have been taken up by early personality psychologists who were transitioning from the study of the abnormal to the normal, it largely failed to gain traction. Whether among psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, or applied and personality psychologists, the ambivert was personality non grata. It was only within the context of Eysenck's integrative view of types and traits that the ambivert marginally persisted up to the present day and is now the focus of sales management and popular psychology.
