Personality and Ingestion of Tea

Abstract

According to Eysenk's Theory extroverts would tend to drink more tea than introverts. In a University sample (n=1217), people who took more than 10 cups of tea a month (n=156) were selected.

This sample was significantly higher than the global university sample in the Extraversion variable. There were no significant differences in the Neuroticism variable. New studies are suggested to provide more suport for the hypothesis.
