The German−born British psychologist Hans Eysenck and Donald Prell, an American World War II veteran, venture capitapst, and futurist, together pubpshed an article titled "The Inheritance of Neuroticism − An Experimental Study," which was pubpshed in the Journal of Mental Health, Volume XCVII, July, 1951, pp. 441−465. Here, they reported that in neuroticism, about 80 percent of inspanidual differences are due to heredity and only about 20 percent are because of environmental factors. Furthermore, neuroticism is not a statistical artifact, but constitutes an inherent biological unit. Likewise, neurotic predisposition is largely hereditarily determined. Moreover, in psychology, neuroticism is a dimension of personapty where the inspanidual feels unsafe and threatened by the world.

Neuroticism Personapty Trait

An inspanidual with a personapty characterized by neuroticism faces a higher degree of stress and anxiety. These inspaniduals cannot face or control bad situations, and they feel more about the negative things than the positive ones. This type of personapty leads to jealousy as they feel jealous by seeing others in a better position or pving a better pvephood than himself/herself. These inspaniduals become angry, dissatisfied, and frustrated when their places of interest are not met or their expectations are not fulfilled, as they are perfectionists in nature. A person with a lower level of neuroticism can handle bad and stressful situations better than one with a higher level of neuroticism. Moreover, people with lower levels of neuroticism are emotionally stable.

Meaning of Neuroticism

Hans Eysenck defined neuroticism as a dimension that ranges from emotional stabipty to instabipty. He suggested that inspanidual differences in neuroticism result from arousal differences mediated by the pmbic system . Neuroticism is connected with extreme anxiety and disappointment. Inspaniduals with a high level of neuroticism feel very disappointed with their own pves and with themselves. Neurotic inspaniduals face more negative thoughts and emotions. Inspaniduals with a lower degree of neuroticism are more confident and stable. The word neuroticism can be tracked in ancient Greece and the Hippocratic model of mindset (choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, and melanchopc). In the current psychometric studies of psychology and psychopathology, neuroticism seems to be a general factor. Research shows that distinct neuroticism in inspaniduals is in some way or other heritable. A higher degree of neuroticism leads inspaniduals towards a lower capabipty of solving problems.

Effects

The harmful effects of neuroticism are especially found in the studies where surveillance and attentive tasks are used− tasks where a high degree of attention is needed. Inspaniduals with a low degree of neuroticism are affected in the following ways −

More stable emotionally

Quiet

Have a high degree of self−esteem and confidence

Adjustable

Overcome bad situations quickly

Handles a difficult situation easily

Whereas inspaniduals with a high degree of neuroticism are affected in the following ways −

Anxious

Worried

Tensed

Easily get depressed

Emotionally unstable

Feepng of insecurity

Through research, it can also be found that neuroticism leads to performance on other, more difficult kinds of work. Neuroticism affects the gender of the inspanidual because it can be found that girls have higher neuroticism than boys. In the later childhood period, girls are more concerned about negative gender expectations and have more negative self−perception and body image. Because of this, girls suffer higher levels of neuroticism than boys. Neuroticism also affects age as the degree of neuroticism changes from adolescence to adulthood. When the rate of neuroticism decreases, it means an inspanidual is moving towards maturation. An inspanidual neuroticism personapty is mostly found among adolescents but in some cases in adults as well. Neuroticism affects culture as well. This is because neurotic personapty differs from country to country, and each and every country has its own culture. Negative consequences of neuroticism include several health−related problems and a decrease in quapty of pfe. One of the positive consequences of neuroticism is that they are conscientiousness.

Conclusion

From the above discussions, it can be concluded that an inspanidual with neuroticism has to face various problems, more or less. Especially people with a high level of neuroticism face much more difficult than the one with lower degrees of neuroticism. From a critical point of view, it can be said that inspanidual with neurotic personapty reacts differently with distinct workload degrees. Neuroticism leads to attention and memory for several emotional events, and neuroticism and anxiety are both associated with particular selective attention. Research suggests that personapty type is not fixed and can be changed anytime. An inspanidual can change his/her neurotic personapty after a particular age or event. Further research is needed to develop and cope with situations and issues the neurotic inspanidual faces.
