	CORRELATION BETWEEN EXTRAVERSION AND COLLEGE MAJOR
		Students reporting double majors, students reporting that they had changed their major in the past year, or students of Freshman standing were not included in the sample as they would not be as representative of a given major as someone who had a greater commitment to that major.
		Extraversion is considered here to be a component of personality that does not fluctuate significantly throughout the day and would not be altered by environmental situations.
		Extraversion is not the only factor in determining why students are attracted to one type of major, therefore future studies on these subjects should be as diverse as the spectrum of college majors and the individuals that partake in them.

	UPJ - UCLA Undergraduate Psychology Journal
		The study found that extraversion is positively correlated with the processing of positive information, meaning that the more extraverted one is, the more quickly and efficiently he or she will be able process positive thoughts.
		Based on previous research, we hypothesized a positive correlation between extraversion and dilemma involvement such that the higher the degree of extraversion that one possesses, the more likely that he or she will be involved in dilemmas.
		Personality traits extraversion and neuroticism were included as predictors in a linear regression with frequency of experience in dilemmas and the mean score for perceived success in escaping punishment as a result of the dilemma as dependent variables.

	Athletic Insight - Extraversion and Neuroticism in Contact Athletes, No Contact Athletes and Non-athletes: A Research ...
		Extraversion did not vary significantly between athletes and non-athletes or between contact and no contact athletes, but it was higher for athletes compared to American college norms.
		Because neither extraversion or neuroticism changed over time (four years of study), these results are consistent with the gravitational hypothesis that people higher in extraversion and lower in neuroticism are attracted to university sports.
		We found evidence that extraversion is elevated and neuroticism is lowered in athletes and that these differences exist in the participants prior to their university careers.

	Extroverts/Introverts and Grades
		Extraversion (E) and introversion (I) are used to describe where a student focuses his or her attention in the learning process.
		Extraverts tend to focus their perception and judgment on people and objects; they are energized by what is going on in the outer world rather than the inner world of their mind.
		The lower the score (minimum is 33) the stronger the preference for extraversion; the higher the score (maximum is 167) the stronger the preference for introversion.

	Siska van Daele EXTRAVERSION IN L2 ORAL PROFICIENCY clac 24/2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pupils' degree of extraversion was measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-RSS (Eysenck and Eysenck, 1991), a concise version of the EPQ which computes an individual’s degree of Psychoticism, Extraversion and Neuroticism by means of self-reported answers to 48 yes or no questions.
		A Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of extraversion on the level of L2 oral fluency, accuracy and complexity at the beginning of the study.
		As was postulated before, extraversion did have an effect on lexical complexity in both target languages and did not influence accuracy measures in either language, but extraversion did not affect syntactic complexity and oral fluency measures.

		Extraversion and Dependency Levels and the Quality of Romantic Relationships Romantic relationships are crucial for one’s emotional happiness; however, they do not always work out.
		Extraversion In the present study, extraversion is one of the personality traits used to predict relationship quality.
		Discussion The results showed no significance between extraversion and dependency levels and their affect on relationship quality, which therefore, did not support our hypotheses that higher quality relationships are affected by extraversion and dependency levels.

	Stimulus-Seeking, Extraversion, and Neuroticism in Regular, Occasional, and Non-Exercisers. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		To test the hypothesis that stimulus-seeking and extraversion underlie "exercise addiction" and sport involvement, the relationships among stimulus-seeking, extraversion, and exercise frequency were examined in ninety males matched on age and educational level.
		Extraversion was positively correlated to stimulus-seeking but did not differentiate among groups.
		These results indicate that at least one form of stimulus-seeking, (thrill and adventure seeking) may be a motivating force in physical activity and sport participation, but it does not distinguish subjects on the basis of exercise frequency and is not a factor in exercise addiction.

		He is known for his theories of extraversion and introversion, along with the collective unconscious, as well as the idea of archetypes.
		To understand the personality of an individual, the introversion and extraversion typology will be discussed as well as his archetypal theory of the human personality.
		The shadow "is associated with a person's animal instincts, the side that is outside of the control of the conscious personality." Lastly, the self, (which is the most important in determining personality behavior), organizes and unites the complete personality (Gale Encylopedia of Psychology).

	Five-Factor Model--Eysenck
		Eysenck (1991) has proposed a three-factor model (psychoticism - extraversion - neuroticism) that he has vigorously advocated as an alternative to the five-factor model.
		Not only do both share the factors of extraversion and neuroticism, but also Eysenck's factor of psychoticism is related (negatively) to agreeableness and conscientiousness.
		Just as extraversion is made up of the intercorrelations of other lower-level factors such as impulsivity and sociability, so also psychoticism is made up of the intercorrelations of lower-level factors such as agreeableness and conscientiousness.

	Reading: Type and Genetics
		We could cite many more studies on the genetic foundation to somatotype, temperament and introversion and extraversion, but it is more interesting to ask about the genetic mechanism by which these traits are transmitted, and here virtually nothing is known.
		the introversion or extraversion, of the father, while the sons follow the attitude of the mother.
		If introversion and extraversion are X-linked dominant characteristics, then we would expect the somatotypes of the mother and son, or father and daughter, to agree to the extent that both would fall within the territories we have delineated for introversion and extraversion on the somatotype chart.

	Thinking-Feeling - Extraversion-Introversion -Testing Without Self-Destructing
		Carl Jung's psychological attitudes of Extraversion and Introversion and his opposed functions of Thinking and Feeling/Valuing give insight into whether the decisions are made on the basis of external (object) or internal (subject) characteristics and whether the decisions are likely to be from reasoned thinking or from value judgements.
		If it is an extraversion of thinking, the subject thinks himself into the object; if an extraversion of feeling, he feels himself into it.
		Extraversion is active when it is intentional, and passive when the object compels it, i.e., when the object attracts the subject's interest of its own accord, even against his will.

	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1981 Issue 2 - 003
		Using a multiphasic personality questionnaire, the Eysenck personality inventory and an orientation questionnaire, the authors found that high orientation, extraversion, anxiety and psychopathic deviate scores were associated with a relative risk of drug use.
		While the mean extraversion scores of users were significantly higher than non-users (table 2), no such difference was observed for the lie and neuroticism scales.
		Relative risk associated with a higher level of extraversion was 2.06 for current use and 1.70 for life-time use.

	Personality: a neurobiological model of extraversion
		On a hierarchical level extraversion often describes a person who is sociable, active, assertive and impulsive (3,4).
		Recently Richard Depue (4) has developed the model further, proposing that extraversion is not a change in overall arousal level.
		Of course a complex personality trait such as extraversion is not controlled solely by two or three neurotransmitters.

	Journal of Parapsychology, The: Extraversion and ESP performance: a meta-analysis and a new confirmation - extrasensory ...
		Extraversion is one of the most frequently studied trait variables and three narrative reviews of the ESP/extraversion literature have concluded that ESP performance is positively related to extraversion (Eysenck, 1967; Palmer, 1977; Sargent, 1981).
		We assessed two aspects of methodology that could result in a spurious correlation between ESP scores and measures of extraversion: advance specification of the criteria used to define extraversion and the order in which the ESP task and extraversion measure were administered.
		A spurious correlation between ESP scores and extraversion could arise if subjects' responses on the extraversion scale were influenced by knowledge of their performance in the ESP task.

		You explain who you are and she beams another welcome and proceeds to tell you who you should see, when they are likely to arrive, where the toilets are, how to get lunch, who your secretary will be, what the boss is like, and where she went for her holidays.
		People who prefer extraversion tend to be the outgoing action oriented people in life--the ones who take initiative in groups and at work, who are at ease with new people, and who verbalise their thoughts as they are forming in their minds.
		Psychiatrists, interested in pathology, have tended to measure levels of extraversion and introversion on a scale of "sociability." In other words, being sociable (that is, extravert) is good, while being unsociable (that is, introvert) is bad.

	Degree of 1
		The goal of this experiment is to determine whether self-esteem and level of extraversion interact to determine the type of role college students would most likely choose in emergency situations.
		A main effect for extraversion, a main effect for self-esteem, and an interaction between extraversion and self-esteem is predicted.
		A reason as to why there is no main effect of self-esteem may be because it is a characteristic that focuses mainly on one’s confidence in his or her self (“Self-Esteem”, 2001).

	Extraversion & Depression - is there a link?
		The first finding that must be noted is that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected for any of the hypotheses; no significant relationships were found between depression and extraversion, between depression and gender, or extraversion and gender.
		In compete contrast to the initial hypothesis, that there would be a difference in the proportion of extraverts and introverts in the depressed and control groups, the results of this study indicated that there was no difference at all; the proportion of depressed individuals to control in both the extravert and introvert conditions was.29.
		This study goes some of the way to addressing the question of the possibility of the potential relationship between extraversion and depression, but only further research will tell if these results are specific only to the sampled population, or can be generalized to the population at large.

		In der Selbsteinschaetzung schreiben sich die Jugendlichen mehr extraversive Eigenschaften zu als die Diagnostik der Handschriften zulaesst, was zu einer relativ geringen Uebereinstimmung beider Erhebungsinstrumente (33,3 Prozent bei den Maedchen und 46,7 Prozent bei den Jungen) fuehrt.
		The polar personality dimensions - introversion and extraversion - constitute the approach of an empirical investigation of thirty girls and thirty boys (average age 15 years).
		In self-assessment young people attribute more extraversive qualities to themselves than the handwriting diagnostic allows, which leads to a relatively slight agreement of both instruments of investigation (33,3 per cent with the girls and 46,7 per cent with the boys).

	Orbitofrontal thickness, retention of fear extinction, and extraversion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The relationship between the size of a brain structure and the ability to recover from traumatic experiences also may influence overall personality type, according to a study from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers.
		Since earlier research has associated levels of extraversion and neuroticism - oversensitivity and emotional instability - with vulnerability to anxiety disorders, the current experiment focused on those traits.
		Using a statistical tool that analyzes whether one specific factor influences the relationship between the two other factors, the researchers found that while the relation between mOFC thickness and increased extraversion is mediated by extinction retention, the association between mOFC thickness and extinction retention does not seem to directly affect neuroticism.

	What is the central feature of extraversion? Social attention versus reward sensitivity.
		This article accepts their argument that the mere preference for social interaction is not the central element of Extraversion.
		However, it claims that the real core of the Extraversion factor is the tendency to behave in ways that attract social attention.
		Data from a sample of 200 respondents were used to test the 2 hypotheses with comparisons of measures of reward sensitivity and social attention in terms of their saturation with the common variance of Extraversion measures.

		All inter-peer correlations on the Extraversion and Neuroticism dimensions were significant at the p<.05 level, while none of the inter-peer correlations were significant for the Conscientiousness dimension.
		Within Extraversion, the opposite was found to be true, in that IRC Experts were judged closer to their "Actual" selves than were subjects in the FtF condition.
		This was found to be true for Extraversion only - IRC experts were judged closer to their "Ideal" selves than the subjects in both remaining conditions.

		This means that people who like the FPS genre tend to score high on the Extraversion scale.
		Thus, for this example, we read the +Extraversion to find out what it means for someone to like the FPS genre, and the –Extraversion for people who dislike the FPS genre.

		"Introversion and extraversion, as a typical attitude, means an essential bias which conditions the whole psychic process, establishes the habitual reactions, and thus not only establishes the style of behavior, but also the nature of subjective experience.
