Researchers analyzed personality traits of over 3 million US and 417,000 UK voters to find that regions with higher neuroticism traits voted more for Trump or Brexit. Education levels also played a role in mitigating the impact of fear-mongering campaigns.
Researchers analyzed Trump's 3200 tweets to find that he exhibits strong features of a Schumpeterian personality, characteristic of successful entrepreneurs. He shows creative and change-oriented behavior, but also struggles with emotional stability.
Contrary to expectations, Germans living in cities severely bombed during WWII exhibit fewer neurotic traits and related clinical problems. Research suggests a historical resilience process may have made the local population more resilient in coping with stressors today.
A recent study found that individuals with neurotic personalities thrive in urban environments, while those who are less neurotic benefit from natural settings. The research suggests a correlation between environment and self-control, which could have implications for health outcomes and consumer behavior.
A new theory proposes that neuroticism is driven by high activity in the brain's self-generated thought centers, which can lead to both creative breakthroughs and negative emotions. The study suggests that overthinking may be a key factor in experiencing intense negative emotions even when there is no apparent threat.
A study of nearly 4,000 college students in 19 countries found that neurotics have unfavorable attitudes towards action and favorable attitudes towards inaction. This association is primarily driven by anxiety, and collectivistic tendencies may also play a role.
Researchers found that neurotics with high levels of conscientiousness had lower inflammation levels, fewer chronic health conditions, and healthier body mass indices. This suggests that 'healthy neuroticism' may provide a protective effect against long-term health problems.
Researchers discovered that neurotic individuals tend to avoid listening to or considering anti-smoking messages due to fear and anxiety. Positive messages emphasizing personal recovery from smoking may be more effective in addressing this population.
Researchers suggest that people's intimates and those who spend time with them know their personalities better than they do themselves. Meanwhile, strangers can also pick up on various cues like clothes, musical preferences, or Facebook postings about an individual.
Researchers found that people with extraverted personality traits are happier due to their positive view of the past. Savoring happy memories and reframing painful experiences in a positive light may boost life satisfaction.
A study found that frequent sexual activity improves marital satisfaction among neurotic spouses, erasing their 'happiness deficit.' The effect occurred regardless of the marriage's initial happiness level. High levels of neuroticism are more strongly associated with bad marital outcomes than any other personality factor.
