Detailed Explanation
In Hans Eysenck's hierarchical and biological theory of personality, 'Neuroticism' represents the dimension ranging from emotional stability to extreme emotional instability, anxiety, fear, and high reactivity to stress. According to Eysenck, the biological bases of this dimension lie in the reactivity of the individual's Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), particularly due to the overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system.
