- - - - eg neurotocism - Lahey (2009)
        
        argues assosciation btwn neurotocism and public health outcomes not just from overlapping criteria
        
        found utility in predicting first episodes of major depression
        
        found with each SD unit difference in neurotocism score, 90-100% increase in odds of developing major depression, 85% increase in odds for men
        
        correlates with physical health problems and related to higher comorbidity = implications of greater use of high cost mental health services
        
        possible causes between neurotocism and mental health?
        
        hyp 1: genes causes neurotocism and increased risk, neurotocism as genetic marker for increased risk
        
        hyp 2: stressful events and social support
        
        genes > neurotocism > exposure to more stressful live events/lower levels of social support >> increased anxiety
        
        hyp 3: emotional reactivity
        
        genes > neurotocism > greater emotional reactivity to stressful life events > risky/unhelpful behaviours to cope with stress >> increased experience of stressful events >> increased anxiety
        
        neurocostim INCREASES (stability) with age, scores peak in late adolescence and decline moderately througout adulthood, scores tend to be higher amg individuals with lower SES
- - - - high level of internal arousal - so find quiet room ideal, overwhelmed in overly stimulating environments
    - - draw energy from external sources due to lower arousal, prefer stimulating environments
    - - 2 grps: introverts and extroverts, each had to listen to music while completing task
      - 1 grp: low intensity volume of music selected by introverts
      - 2nd grp: high intensity volume of music generally selected by extroverts
      - 3rd grp: allowed to choose volume of music
      - measured (1) pulse rate - to show arousal, (2) task performance
      - Findings:
        
        introverts = higher pulse rate - shows gen. more aroused
        
        extroverts = high pulse when extrovert noise choise condition > introverts
        
        where chose volume - both Intro/extroverts around 70 BPM
        
        took more trials to complete task where noise intensity played was for other personality type
    - - reticulo-cortical (manages arousal for incoming stimuli)
        
        high arousal = introvert, low arousal = extrovert
      - reticulo-limbic - mangages and ctrls arousal to emotional stimuli
        
        high arousal to emotional = neurotic, low arousal = emotionally stable
      - if person's ARAS keeps in high arousal, seek to avoid greater stimulation, graviate towards environments aligned with personality/arousal
