The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of affect intensity and neuroticism on stress experiences. Affect Intensity Measure(AIM), Emotional Intensity Scale(EIS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ), Thermal Pressure Stress, and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) were administrated 72 college students. The results showed that significant main effects of affect intensity and neuroticism influenced on stress threshold and stress tolerance, but not interaction. With regard to stress displeasure report, only neuroticism showed the main effect but meaningful effect of affect intensity and their interaction were not found. Clinical implication of these results and limitations of this study were discussed and were also considered suggestions for further studies.
