Low extraversion and high neuroticism as indices of genetic and environmental risk for social phobia, agoraphobia, and animal phobia.

The American journal of psychiatry - 1 Nov 2007

Bienvenu O Joseph, Hettema John M, Neale Michael C, Prescott Carol A, Kendler Kenneth S

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The authors examined the extent to which two major personality dimensions (extraversion and neuroticism) index the genetic and environmental risk for three phobias (social phobia, agoraphobia, and animal phobia) in twins ascertained from a large, population-based registry. METHOD: Lifetime phobias and personality traits were assessed through diagnostic interview and self-report questionnaire,...
