How is the Big Five related to college students' anxiety: The role of rumination and resilience
2023, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :Agreeableness is a prosocial personality trait. According to trait consistency theory, individuals with high levels of agreeableness tend to remember and recall positive information rather than infuriating or frustrating information (Quan et al., 2019; Reidy & Richards, 1997). Individuals with high levels of extraversion and openness are more willing to seek external support, actively reconstruct stressful events, provide alternative cognitive strategies for rumination, and form harmonious interpersonal relationships, and all these will make them less prone to anxiety (Conor-Smith & Flachsbart, 2007).
Trait anxiety and probabilistic learning: Behavioral and electrophysiological findings
2018, Biological PsychologyCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, other possible interpretations should not be overlooked. For example, seeing that high anxious individuals show a memory bias to recall negative events (Mogg, Mathews, & Weinman, 1987; Reidy & Richards, 1997a,b; Richards, 1997a,b), the attenuated FRN amplitude may actually indicate that HTA participants were more habituated to negative feedback because of its accessibility in memory. Follow-up studies which used self-reported measurement would be necessary to examine whether high anxious individuals are indeed more pessimistic.
Emotional memory function, personality structure and psychopathology: A neural system approach to the identification of vulnerability markers
2008, Brain Research ReviewsCitation Excerpt :For example, higher scores of neuroticism are associated with a bias towards remembering emotionally negative information (Bradley and Mogg, 1994; Lishman, 1972; Lishman, 1974; Mayo, 1983; Martin et al., 1983; Young and Martin, 1981) and higher scores of extraversion are associated with a bias towards remembering emotionally positive information (Lishman, 1972; Mayo, 1983; Rusting, 1999). Additionally, biases of emotional memory have also been identified to be associated with trait anxiety (Nugent and Mineka, 1994; Reidy and Richards, 1997a,b), sensitivity (Hock and Krohne, 2004) and self-esteem (Smith and Petty, 1995). Individual differences in emotional memory biases linked to personality are likely rooted in an attentional network that is primarily driven by amygdala reactivity during the encoding of emotional stimuli (Fig. 1A).
Information processing biases in generalized anxiety disorder
2007, PsychiatryTrait anxiety, trait depression, worry, and memory
2004, Behaviour Research and TherapyCitation Excerpt :One of the most puzzling aspects of the research into trait anxiety is the inconsistency of the findings. A reason for such inconsistency suggested by Reidy & Richards, 1997b) was that the findings may be due to the variations in the type of stimuli used in such studies. Where memory biases have been observed with other forms of anxiety, the stimuli used were specific to the form of anxiety under investigation.
