In an experimental study neuroticism was examined as a moderator of breast cancer patients' affective reactions to social comparison information about a fellow patient. Fifty-seven women with breast cancer completed Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire and received social comparison information about a fellow patient who was either doing better (upward condition) or worse (downward condition) than themselves. As expected, patients showed more positive reactions to upward comparison information than to downward comparison information. Moreover, neuroticism was related to responding more negatively and less positively to social comparison information. Although respondents high and low in neuroticism did not differ in their reactions to downward comparison information, low neuroticism was associated with more positive responding to upward comparison information.
在一项实验研究中，神经质被作为乳腺癌患者对关于另一位患者的社会比较信息的情感反应的调节因素进行了检验。57名乳腺癌女性完成了艾森克人格问卷，并收到了关于另一位患者的社会比较信息，该患者的情况要么比她们自己好（向上比较条件），要么比她们自己差（向下比较条件）。正如预期的那样，患者对向上比较信息的反应比对向下比较信息的反应更积极。此外，神经质与对社会比较信息的反应更消极、更不积极有关。尽管神经质得分高和低的受访者对向下比较信息的反应没有差异，但低神经质与对向上比较信息的更积极反应相关。
