Individuals high in neuroticism may be more susceptible to stress, depression, and other mental health issues.
This MeSH term provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific understanding of neuroticism, including its biological basis, genetic factors, and relationship to various health outcomes.
Reserchers can utilize this information to better understand the role of neuroticism in human behavior and health, and to develop effective interventions and treatments.

The variables included in these analyses were: gender; ethnicity; socioeconomic status (neighbourhood-level, assessed using the Townsend deprivation score where a negative score represents greater affluence [11] ); educational level (age left education and whether achieved an undergraduate degree); self-reported inability to work due to sickness; self-assessment of having a long-term illness; self-assessment of overall health rating; current depressive symptoms (defined as ‘depressed mood’ and/or ‘unenthusiasm/uninterest’ (anhedonia) for at least ‘nearly every day in past 2 weeks’); neuroticism score; smoking status and alcohol use.
All descriptive analyses were carried out using the statistical software Stata [12] and SPSS [13] . In order to examine the association between probable mood disorder category and demographic and clinical variables, tests of association were used which accounted for trend across the categories. An extension of the Kruskal-Wallis test allowed for the comparison of both continuous and categorical variables across an ordered categorical variable (nptrend command in Stata) [14] (link).
This study was conducted under generic approval from the NHS National Research Ethics Service (approval letter dated 17th June 2011, Ref 11/NW/0382).
Social Support Scale (SOZU-K; [16 ]). Higher scores indicate greater levels of social support.
Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS; [11 (link)]). High scores denote high levels of satisfaction.
EuroQol Health Questionnaire (EQ-5D; [42 (link)]). Low scores point to good subjective health.
Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS; [37 (link)]). Higher scores essentially reflect higher levels of subjective happiness.
Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21; [34 (link)]). Higher scores mark greater levels of distress (stress, anxiety, and depression).
Neuroticism (N-scale, a modified version of the 12-item emotionality scale of the revised Freiburg Personality Inventory, FPI-R; [12 ]). Participants scored the items on a scale from 1 (not true) to 4 (true) in the modified version instead of a 2-point rating scale. High scores on the N-scale indicate high neuroticism.
Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC; [35 ]). High scores on the SOC point to a high sense of coherence.
Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D; German version; [43 (link)]; German: Allgemeine Depressionsskala Kurzform, ADS-K; [18 ]). Higher scores indicate pronounced levels of depressive symptoms.
General Self-efficacy Scale (GKE; [27 ]). Higher scores denote more self-efficacy.
Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (LZH; Lutz et al. 1992b, unpublished manuscript). Lower scores indicate higher life satisfaction.
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; [4 (link)]). High scores signify more severe depression.
Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF; [2 ]). This numeric 0-100 scale is used by mental health clinicians to rate the social, occupational, and psychological functioning of adults. High scores represent a high level of functioning.

K-means is a clustering algorithm that uses distance as the similarity evaluation index. The closer the distance between two objects, the greater the similarity. K-means clustering algorithm believes that clusters are composed of close objects, so it will get compact and independent clusters as the goal. It has many advantages, such as fast and simple calculation, and its time complexity is close to linear (27 (link)).
We conducted cluster on two aspects of the analysis. First, the standardized values (Z-score) of SAS score, SDS score, Neuroticism score, CIAS-R score, ASLEC score, CTQ score, FAD score, and SSRS score-reverse were used as clustering components for analysis, to find out the specific multiple risk factors in the population with mental disorders. And χ2 test was performed on the clustering center and NSSI frequency to identify the high-risk population of NSSI. The second cluster analysis was conducted with the standardized values (Z-scores) of four NSSI functions valued by OSI-F to explore different functional subtypes in NSSI patients. The best clustering number is determined by calculating the within groups sum of square errors (WSSE) and elbow method using R language. Then the K-means cluster analysis was conducted by SPSS 26.0.
Agree; e.g. “I don’t like situations that are uncertain”; [61 (link)]; α = .86). Second, we measured loneliness with five items (e.g., “I feel left out”) on a 4-point scale (1 = Never to 4 = Often; [62 (link)]; α = .91). Third, we assessed individual differences in Big 5 personality traits of extraversion (e.g., “I see myself as extraverted, enthusiastic”; α = .68), agreeableness (e.g., “I see myself as sympathetic, warm”; α = .33), conscientiousness (e.g., “I see myself as dependable, self-disciplined; α = .65), neuroticism (e.g., “I see myself as anxious, easily upset”; a = .74), and openness (e.g., “I see myself open to new experience, complex”; α = .42) with the Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), with items answered on a 7-point scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 7 = Strongly Agree) [63 ].

More about "Neuroticism"
Individuals high in neuroticism may be more susceptible to stress, depression, and other mental health issues.
This concept is closely related to emotional lability, negative affectivity, and emotional sensitivity.
Neuroticism has a strong biological basis, with genetic and neurological factors playing a significant role in its development.
Research utilizing statistical software like SPSS, SAS, and Stata has provided insights into the underlying mechanisms and correlates of neuroticism.
Individuals with higher levels of neuroticism tend to exhibit increased stress reactivity, as measured by physiological markers such as cortisol levels.
This heightened stress response can lead to a variety of negative health outcomes, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, and mental health problems like anxiety and depression.
Neuroticism has also been linked to various cognitive and behavioral patterns, such as rumination, avoidance, and a tendency to interpret ambiguous situations in a negative light.
These cognitive-emotional biases can further exacerbate the negative effects of neuroticism on mental and physical well-being.
Understanding and managing neuroticism is crucial for improving overall health and well-being.
Effective interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques, have been shown to help individuals with high neuroticism better regulate their emotions and cope with stress.
Researchers and clinicians can utilize the insights provided by statistical software like SPSS, SAS, and Stata to develop and refine these interventions, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for those affected by this personality trait.
