Abstract
Correlations between the personality dimensions of extraversion and neuroticism and symptoms of stress reaction during and after the invasion of Kuwait were investigated. An Arabic version of the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a Stress Reactions Checklist were administered to 503 undergraduate Kuwaiti students (225 men and 278 women). Analysis showed no correlation between scores on Extraversion and stress reactions for men and women during and after the invasion and a high positive correlation between scores on Neuroticism and stress reactions for men and women during and after the invasion. These findings were discussed in terms of arousal theory and previous research.
