神经质升高与对压力源的心理反应增加有关。然而，对个体差异和生理反应性（如皮电活动）的研究主要集中在临床样本和基础活动（如非特异性皮肤电导反应）或对非情感刺激的反应的测量上。令人惊讶的是，缺乏关于神经质对情绪刺激的生理反应的研究。因此，作者试图在非临床样本中检查神经质和皮肤电导反应对情感唤起图片之间的关系。与情绪稳定的人相比，神经质程度较高的人对情绪图片（尤其是厌恶图片）表现出更大的皮肤电导反应，以及更多的延伸反应。讨论了对健康的影响。
Elevated neuroticism is associated with increased psychological reactivity to stressors. Research on individual differences and physiological reactivity (e.g., electrodermal activity), however, has focused on clinical samples and measures of basal activity (e.g., nonspecific skin conductance responses) or responses to nonaffective stimuli. Surprisingly, there is a dearth of work on physiological reactivity to emotional stimuli as a function of neuroticism. Thus, the authors sought to examine the relationship between neuroticism and skin conductance reactivity to emotionally evocative pictures in a nonclinical sample. Individuals higher in neuroticism exhibited both greater skin conductance reactivity to emotional (and particularly aversive) pictures as well as more extended reactivity than did emotionally stable individuals. Implications for health are discussed.
