Figure 15.6: College students with a highly sensitive personality trait rated themselves lower on a survey of negative feelings (“sad,” “anxious,” and “depressed”) after completing an easy task, and rated themselves higher for negative feelings after completing a difficult task. College students who did not have the high-sensitivity trait did not vary in their negativity assessments as a function of experimental task.
