Examples:
Individuals who score high on
neuroticism, tend to experience
greater negative emotions (e.g., fear,
sadness, embarrassment, anger, guilt,
and disgust) and anxiety than do
individuals who score low on this
factor (DeLongis, Lee-Baggley, and
Preece, 2005). Traits associated
with neuroticism include being
anxious, moody, irritable, and
pessimistic. Moreover, those scoring
high on neuroticism are at risk for
developing depression and anxiety

Personality and A study by Vollrath (2001) stated
Stress that in recent years have witnessed an
upsurge of interest in how personality
affects the stress process. The desire
to know oneself and the amount of
stress people experienced nowadays
is one of the leading factor for this
event.
Since the 1970s, the transactional
stress theory by Richard S. Lazarus
and colleagues has been the leading
model in psychological stress
research. It inspired an immense body
of research on stress and coping in a
vast array of contexts (Lazarus, 1966;
Lazarus & Folkman, 1984; Lazarus &
Launier, 1978). However, personality
trait is rarely considered in this type
of research. Although the relationship
of personality to stress have long been
clarified by psychologist such as
Eysenck in 1967 with his research on
personality traits, and Friedman and
Rosenman in 1974.
According to Vollrath, 2001, the
personality of an individual not only
affects the appraisal of and coping
with stress, but it is also crucial with
regard to the selection and shaping of
stressful situations. This statement
shows that the personality trait of a
person is complex subject affecting
not only the stress level of an
individual but various other related
factors as well.
An individual’s personality could
be said to intrigued researchers from
way before and its relation to other
factors have been the topic of
discussion such as academic
performance and motivation. The
study of stress and coping had a long
tradition in the field of personality
psychology. One of the issues
examined most intensively concerns
the personality dimensions that
predict increased emotional reactivity
under stress conditions (Vollrath,
2001).
A basically unchallenged premise
within stress research is that the
stressful situation is an external force
requiring no further explanation, in
contrast to a situation that is caused
by a person's actions. That is,
causality is assumed to flow from

Introversion–extraversion is a higher
order dimension of personality
reflecting tendencies to experience
and exhibit positive affect, assertive
behavior, decisive thinking, and
desires for social attention (Wilt &
Revelle, 2009). Wilt and Revelle
(2017), stated that extraverted
individuals are characterized by
energy, dominance, spontaneity, and
sociability, whereas more introverted
individuals tend to be described as
more lethargic, inhibited, reflective,
and quiet. The difference between the
two trait can be seen in their behavior
they exhibit, these behavior can be
easily seen in their interaction with
other people.
Teenagers who are at school is
more likely to be more sociable,
maybe because they are surrounded
by students at the same age. Compare
when they were still in grade schools,
individuals experiencing adolescence
can communicate more to the outside
world. Questions regarding how
extraversion changes from
adolescence through adulthood have
received a considerable amount of
attention (Wilt and Revelle, 2017).
This is because, during late
adolescence (around ages 16–20
years), extraversion increases slightly
(Bleidorn et al., 2013; Lüdtke,
Roberts, Trautwein, & Nagy, 2011).
Obtaining a job during this time,
however, is related to decreases in
extraversion (Bleidorn et al., 2013),
perhaps suggesting that entering roles
in which responsibility is valued is
conducive to introversion among
adolescents (Wilt and Revelle, 2017).
Extraversion continues to increase
during the years spent at university, at
least on average (Vaidya, Gray, Haig,
& Watson, 2002).

Extraversion in the factors that affects the life of a person
Stress-Anxiety and such as traumatic experiences. The
Stress-Depression role of life stress in the onset and
Relationships maintenance of various mental
disorders has been studied extensively
over the past several decades, with
most studies focusing exclusively on
major depressive disorder and
episodic stressful life events (e.g.

raise.
Extraverts, however tends to let
things go very fast, thus causing them
to relax more faster than introverts. In
extraverts, inhibitory process is strong
and as a result the inhibition develops
very quickly and also dissipates very
slowly. It means that extraverts can
relax very quickly (Sharma, 2011).
Sharma (2011), also added that
introverts have poor inhibitory neural
process and thus inhibition not only
develops very slowly but also
dissipates very quickly. It means that
introverts cannot relax as easily as
extraverts. The difference in coping
level of both extraverts and introverts
is greatly different from one another.

(Subburaj, Sundaram , Sekar and
Sumathi, 2012)
According to Subburaj et al.,
(2012), the Person fit theory says that
interaction between individual and
environment determines stress. It
assumes that individual behavior,
environment, job satisfaction,
achievement and stability depend on
particular individual’s personality.

Personality Traits, Contrary to extroverts, neurotics
and Perceived Stress perceived this transition so
‘threatening’. This indicates that
extraversion helps a person to feel
less stress. Neuroticism positively
correlated with perceived stress (Lu,
1994). Penley and Tomaka (2002)
studied Big Five personality types on
stress and coping processes.
Neuroticism was found to be high on
perceived stress, and negatively
correlated with perceived coping
ability. Extraversion was low on
perceived stress and positively
