The participants (n=328) came from non-English majorsand were recruited from Mohammed V University in Morocco. Data were gathered through two instruments: the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) (Costa & McCrae, 1992a), and Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) (Kim, 2000) . The findings reported that two facets (Anxiety and Depression) showed stronger significant correlations with ELLA than overall Neuroticism. Moreover, stepwise multiple regression analyses (stepwise MRA) indicated that three facets (Anxiety, Depression, and Anger) showed a stronger significant prediction of ELLA than overall Neuroticism. Thus, teachers of English language can rely more on Neuroticism facets than on overall Neuroticism as the former give a broader and more accurate prediction of students who may experience ELLA. |\n\nREVIEW OF LITERATURE The Big Five Personality Factors  \nThe Big Five Personality Factors (BFPF) are a comprehensive and widely replicated trait taxonomy (Goldberg, 1993; McCrae & Costa, 2003) . This personality taxonomy has dominated the field of personality psychology since the 1980s. The labels given to those five traits still vary but are often described as Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. Each trait is composed of six facets. For example, the facets of Agreeableness are Trust, Morality, Altruism, Cooperation, Modesty, and Sympathy. Moreover, this model of personality was labeled the Big Five (Goldberg, 1981) not to indicate their intrinsic greatness but to imply that each factor is largely broad. Hence, the Big Five does not suggest that personality differences can be classified into only five traits. Rather, personality is represented at the deepest level of abstraction by these five traits, and that each trait includes so many distinct and specific personality characteristics (John & Srivastava, 1999) .  \nThe existence of the BFPF has been proved by factor analytic methods where researchers used data from both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs (Costa & McCrae, 1980) . Furthermore, much research has confirmed the  \nvalidity of the Big Five (Caspi, Roberts, & Shiner, 2005; Ozer & Benet-Martinez, 2006), which was supported by behavioral genetics (Yamagata et al., 2006), universality across cultures (Allik, 2005), and neuroscience (DeYoung et al., 2010) . A large number of scholars and researchers contributed to the development of the Big Five including Allport (1937), Cattell (1943), Costa and McCrae (1992a), Eysenck (1960), Goldberg (1982), Norman (1963), and Tupes and Christal (1992) . The BFPF showed to be a solid model asthe same fivew personality traits appeared in studies of both self- and peer-ratings (McCrae & Costa, 1987), studies on children and adults (Digman, 1997), and several languages and cultures (Allik, 2005) . It is also worth mentioning that the BFPF are independent of race, age, sex, culture, and tim","cbCaioX3sfQ8jb7N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioX3sfQ8jb7N","pdf",370056,"English","# Article info\n## Abstract\n# Review of Literature\n## The Big Five Personality Factors\n## Neuroticism","[{\"question\":\"What was the objective of the study about Neuroticism and listening anxiety?\",\"answer\":\"To examine whether overall Neuroticism or specific Neuroticism facets had stronger significant correlations and predictions of English language listening anxiety (ELLA).\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants and data collected?\",\"answer\":\"The study involved 328 non-English majors recruited from Mohammed V University in Morocco.
