| Neuroticism: Neuroticism in psychology is a personality trait characterized by emotional instability, anxiety, moodiness, worry, and sadness. Individuals high in neuroticism are more likely to experience feelings of anger, guilt, envy, and depression. They often respond poorly to stress and are prone to interpreting ordinary situations as threatening, which can affect their personal and professional relationships. See also Personality trais, Openness, Agreeablenss, Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Depression, Anxiety._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Behavioral Genetics on Neuroticism - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 287 Neuroticism/Behavioral Genetics/Munafò: Neuroticism, as measured using the class of questionnaires derived from Costa and McCrae’s (1997)(1) NEO-PI, NEO-PI-R, NEO FFI and Eysenck and Eysenck’s (1975)(2) EPI, EPQ, EPQ-R models of personality, reflects anxiety and negative affect. Harm avoidance, as measured using the class of questionnaires derived from Cloninger’s (1986)(3) tridimensional theory of personality and temperament (TCI, TPQ), reflects sensitivity to signals of punishment. These measures are commonly assumed to reflect a common underlying mechanism, although this is debated (Schinka, Busch and Robichaux-Keene 2004(4); Sen, Burmeister and Ghosh 2004)(5). >Extraversion/Behavioral Genetics, >H.J.
