Introversion Vs Popular Meaning
- Psychologists' definition of introversion differs from popular meanings and often centers on low sociability and low assertiveness.
- Luke Smillie prefers renaming it because 'introversion' implies inwardness rather than detachment and low activity.
Two Aspects Of Introversion
- The 'quiet' introvert model splits into stimulation sensitivity and deliberation (need to think before acting).
- These two aspects map partly to extraversion and conscientiousness facets but don't align perfectly with Big Five traits.
Reward Sensitivity Underpins Extraversion
- Reward sensitivity is widely accepted as the core mechanism underlying extraversion in current research.
- Extraversion reflects stronger motivation by rewarding or stimulating events rather than mere sociability.
