The present study demonstrates that levels of extraversion and neuroticism can predict attentional performance during a change detection task. After completing a change detection task built on the flicker paradigm, participants were assessed for personality traits using the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R). Multiple regression analyses revealed that higher levels of extraversion predict increased change detection accuracies, while higher levels of neuroticism predict decreased change detection accuracies. In addition, neurotic individuals exhibited decreased sensitivity A' and increased fixation dwell times. Hierarchical regression analyses further revealed that eye movement measures mediate the relationship between neuroticism and change detection accuracies. Based on the current results, we propose that neuroticism is associated with decreased attentional control over the visual field, presumably due to decreased attentional disengagement. Extraversion can predict increased attentional performance, but the effect is smaller than the relationship between neuroticism and attention.
本研究表明，外向性和神经质水平可以预测变化检测任务中的注意力表现。在完成基于闪烁范式构建的变化检测任务后，使用修订后的艾森克人格问卷（EPQ-R）对参与者的人格特质进行评估。多元回归分析显示，较高的外向性水平预示着变化检测准确率的提高，而较高的神经质水平预示着变化检测准确率的降低。此外，神经质个体表现出较低的敏感度A'和较长的注视停留时间。层次回归分析进一步表明，眼动指标介导了神经质与变化检测准确率之间的关系。基于当前结果，我们提出，神经质与对视野的注意力控制降低有关，可能是由于注意力脱离减少所致。外向性可以预测注意力表现的提高，但该效应小于神经质与注意力之间的关系。
