What are the potential benefits of the trait of extraversion?
What will be an ideal response?
If conscientiousness is the champion of health and longevity, extraversion is the champion of good feelings and happiness. Of the Big Five, extraversion consistently rates number one in both positive affect and subjective well-being. Overall extraverts appear to be more responsive to reward, less responsive to punishment, experience higher levels of positive affect for longer periods of time, and on the whole, report higher levels of well-being than introverts.
