本文研究了神经质导致日常生活中的痛苦的机制。神经质可能会通过使人们接触更多的压力事件、增加对这些事件的反应性或通过与环境事件无关的机制而导致痛苦。本文评估了这三种解释的相对重要性。受试者为 339 人，他们每天报告轻微的压力事件和情绪，持续 6 周。对这些轻微压力源的暴露和反应解释了高神经质受试者和低神经质受试者之间超过 40% 的痛苦差异。对压力源的反应所造成的痛苦差异是暴露于压力源的两倍。这些结果表明，在解释神经质如何导致日常生活中的痛苦时，压力情境下的反应比情境选择更重要。
This article investigates mechanisms through which neuroticism leads to distress in daily life. Neuroticism may lead to distress through exposing people to a greater number of stressful events, through increasing their reactivity to those events, or through a mechanism unrelated to environmental events. This article evaluates the relative importance of these three explanations. Subjects were 339 persons who provided daily reports of minor stressful events and mood for 6 weeks. Exposure and reactivity to these minor stressors explained over 40% of the distress difference between high‐ and low‐neuroticism subjects. Reactivity to stressors accounted for twice as much of the distress difference as exposure to stressors. These results suggest that reactions within stressful situations are more important than situation selection in explaining how neuroticism leads to distress in daily life.
