Neuroticism and Mental Noise Impact on Cognitive Stability and Daily Well-being

Neuroticism and Mental Noise Impact on Cognitive Stability and Daily Well-being

Neuroticism may create mental noise or cognitive instability, hampering ongoing efforts to maintain control. Four studies with 541 participants linked higher Neuroticism to poorer performance and increased negative feelings, highlighting its impact on self-regulation.

    Neuroticism may predispose people to a sort of “mental noise” (or cognitive instability) that creates problems for ongoing task performance https://t.co/EVJZjZtmwh

Abstract Synopsis

  • Neuroticism may create mental noise or cognitive instability, which hampers ongoing efforts to maintain control, even without external threats.
  • Across four studies with 541 participants using a continuous tracking task, higher Neuroticism was consistently linked to poorer performance, regardless of the presence of aversive stimuli.
  • These performance deficits related to Neuroticism also predicted daily negative feelings, supporting the idea that Neuroticism affects momentary self-regulation through increased mental noise.]
