神经质被假设为系统地与有利于负面情绪的语义记忆网络有关，但没有使用情感启动任务的研究已经建立了这种联系。目前的两项研究，涉及145名本科生参与者，试图提供初步证据，沿着这些路线。研究1使用了一项任务，要求参与者判断他们过去的情绪，而研究2使用了一项感知识别任务，参与者只需要识别问题中的单词。在两项研究中，神经质与负性情绪启动呈正相关，而与正性情绪启动无关。这些研究表明，神经质与语义记忆系统中的负面情绪的相互连接系统相关，无论是否涉及自我概念（研究1）（研究2）。这些结果对于理解神经质的个体差异及其情感加工相关因素具有重要意义。
Neuroticism has been hypothesized to systematically relate to semantic memory networks favoring negative affect, but no studies using affective priming tasks have established this link. The present two studies, involving 145 undergraduate participants, sought to provide initial evidence along these lines. Study 1 used a task in which participants were asked to judge their emotions in the past, whereas Study 2 used a perceptual identification task in which participants merely had to identify the word in question. In both studies, neuroticism was positively correlated with negative affective priming, but not positive affective priming. The studies suggest that neuroticism systematically relates to the inter-connectivity of negative affect within semantic memory systems, whether involving the self-concept (Study 1) or not (Study 2). These results are novel and important in understanding individual differences in neuroticism and their affective processing correlates.
