Psychoticism: From 1 Different Sources


n. one of the three traits used by the British psychologist Hans Eysenck in his personality model, the others being extroversion and *neuroticism. Psychoticism is a personality pattern typified by aggressiveness and interpersonal hostility. Eysenck believed that high levels of this trait were linked to increased vulnerability to *psychosis but this has never been verified by subsequent research.
