Cognitive Psychology on Situations - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 402 Situations/Cognitive Psychology/Matthews: [a] methodological issue is the frequent dependence of personality effects on contextual factors such as level of stimulation, motivational factors or even time of day (Revelle, Humphreys, Simon and Gilliland 1980)(1). Extraversion, in particular, may have either facilitative or detrimental effects on performance depending on factors of this kind. Detrimental effects of Neuroticism may be more evident in stressful environments (Cox-Fuenzalida, Swickert and Hittner 2004)(2). As discussed below, interactive effects of personality and contextual factors have often been taken as evidence for arousal theory, although such explanations have been challenged (Matthews 1992)(3). >Personality, >Personality traits, >Arousal, >Extraversion, >Neuroticism. 1.
