Prospective Determination of Neurobehavioral Risk for the Development of Emotion Disorders
The study investigated how personality traits—particularly Neuroticism/Negative Emotionality (N/NE)—are associated with changes in internalising symptoms over 30 months. In 201, over 200 emerging adults from the University of Maryland, United States of America, were recruited during their first year of university from a screened pool of around 7,000 students, using stratified sampling based on gender and N/NE scores to ensure a broad range of emotional risk. Participants were followed up at 6, 24, and 30 months after the initial assessment.
