Abstract
A study of 52 students in basic laboratory, relaxation, and dancing conditions is analyzed to argue for robust but small effects of Neuroticism and Extraversion upon average mood despite significant mood changes between the conditions. The influence of these personality variables was pervasive rather than reactive and in a pattern suggesting their mutual involment in bipolar general mood.

A number of apparently diverse personality scales—variously called trait anxiety, neuroticism, ego strength, general maladjustment, repression-sensitization, and social desirability—are reviewed and are shown to be in fact measures of the same stable and pervasive trait.

The break-up of some of the larger, global factors from the first study into smaller and more narrowly defined factors in the second study was a distinct asset in later efforts to discern the differential effects of various antidepressant drugs.

It is indicated that when current symptomatology is taken into account Neuroticism does not seem to reflect the trait of liability to depression, but is strongly associated with the state of being depressed.
