Ed Diener Lucas, Richard Eric 2015-09-25T20:40:18Z 2015-09-25T20:40:18Z 10000-01-01 2000 2000 The extraversion/pleasant affect relation is one of the strongest and most consistent relations in the study of personality and subjective well-being. The strength of this relation has led some to suggest that pleasant affect forms the core of the extraversion dimension. Individual differences in this combined pleasant affect/extraversion trait are linked to an underlying reward-sensitivity system that controls pleasant emotional responses and approach behavior. In the current paper, I trace the history of the extraversion dimension and show how reward-sensitivity theories have developed and how they relate to other theories of the trait. Next, I review recent research that has questioned the validity of the global reports from which most theories of extraversion have been developed. Finally, I test the convergence of global and on-line reports of extraversion, focusing on predictions from the reward-sensitivity model. Results show that although different techniques of assessing extraversion sometimes do not converge, reward-sensitivity theories can successfully account for the pattern of relations among on-line reports of extraverted feelings and behaviors.
