Neuroticism

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Neuroticism is the tendency toward experiencing negative emotions such as anxiety, sadness, and irritability.

Show

A person high in neuroticism reacts more strongly and recovers more slowly from the same setback.

Watch for

Neuroticism is a normal-range dimension, not a disorder. It is a risk factor and not a diagnosis.
