neuroticism

Likewise, movie plots with psychological themes of death and anxiety predicted high neuroticism among fans of those movies.

Across all movies in the dataset, plot keywords such as “mental illness,” “ghost,” “serial killer,” and “insanity” were among the strongest predictors of fans’ neuroticism.

Delgado found that respondents who said they preferred cats tended to be higher in openness and neuroticism, while self-identified dog people tended towards more extroversion and agreeableness.

In men, but not women, neuroticism was positively correlated and masculinity negatively correlated with crying.
