Abstract
In this chapter we consider a variety of internal or endogenous factors contributing towards an individual’s level of arousal. It has been claimed that even in the absence of a stimulating environment, some individuals will characteristically be in a more aroused state than others. The dimension of individual differences most frequently referred to in this connection is introversion-extraversion (H. J. Eysenck 1967), the usual assumption being that introverts are chronically more aroused than extraverts.
