The results revealed level of extraversion to be positively and significantly correlated with the aggressive and constructive interac...

BACKGROUND Stressful life events can trigger asthma exacerbations, but could also contribute to the development of incident asthma. However, only few studies have investigated the association between stressful life events and adult asthma prospectively. Likewise, stress-related personality traits (e.g. neuroticism and extraversion) may increase asthma risk, but this has been examined in only on...

BACKGROUND The Big Five traits (i.e., openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism: OCEAN) have been suggested to provide a meaningful taxonomy for studying the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Nevertheless, current research consists of mixed and inconsistent associations between the Dark Triad and OCEAN. Here we used the Dark Cube (Garcia ...

thinking–EP relationship. The results of abstract thinking-EP relationship are presented here (Table 3) only briefly to enable the easier understanding of the complex personality–EP–intelligence relationship, as they are explained in detail in our earlier study (Tatalović Vorkapić et al., 2008). Contrary to our expectations, only three significant correlations between abstract thinking and EPs ...

Introversion/extraversion and neuroticism are 2 important and frequently studied dimensions of human personality. These dimensions describe individual differences in emotional responding across a range of situations and may contribute to a predisposition for psychiatric disorders. Recent neuroimaging research has begun to provide evidence that neuroticism and introversion/extraversion have spec...

Twenty-two Asian American and twenty-two European American students performed a mental arithmetic task and a speech task while cardiovascular (CV) reactivity was monitored. Level of extraversion, accult...

Cognitive neuroscience aims to delineate principles of brain-behavior relations by characterizing both common mechanisms across, and individual differences among, individuals. Both approaches are relevant for the study of the amygdala, a critical structure for the processing of emotional signals (1). Consistent activation to fearful facial expressions (2– 4 ) may reflect a shared neural mechani...
