Under Hans Eysenck's Three-Factor (PEN) Model of personality, after a thorough analysis of the elemental, biological, and psychological bases of Psychoticism, Extraversion, and Neuroticism, which of the following statements is most authentic and scientifically true regarding this model?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Eysenck's PEN Model
Hans Eysenck proposed the PEN model of personality (Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism). According to this model, the biological basis of 'Extraversion' is the intrinsic arousal level of the brain's Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS).
- Introverts: Have a naturally high level of ARAS activation, causing them to avoid excessive sensory stimulation.
- Extraverts: Have a lower level of ARAS activation, which leads them to actively seek higher stimulation and social interaction.
Therefore, option C provides the scientifically accurate biological foundation for extraversion as outlined in Eysenck's theory.
