Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
Hans Eysenck defined personality primarily on the basis of biological and genetic factors. In his PEN model, the biological basis for the 'Introversion-Extraversion' dimension is the arousal of the Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS).
- Introverts: They have a naturally high baseline activation level in the ARAS, which is why they tend to avoid excessive external stimulation.
- Extraverts: They have a lower baseline arousal level, leading them to actively seek additional sensory stimulation.
Therefore, Option B is the most scientifically accurate statement regarding Eysenck's theory.
