This study tested for correlations between personality traits of introversion and extraversion, and two key event-related brain potentials (ERPs) - the feedback-related negativity (FRN) and P3 component - which are significant in motivation theories. 21 participants completed a word search task while hooked up to an EEG, and were exposed to an alarm after 2 minutes that acted as the FRN. A one-way ANOVA revealed significant differences between introvert and extravert groups. Bivariate correlations showed positive and negative correlations between the personality traits and activity levels of the FRN and P3 in different brain regions, suggesting personality traits may influence neurobiological motivation mechanisms.
