Excerpt: Negative Emotionality and Neuroticism From Childhood Through Adulthood

Winter 2020

Colgate University faculty members are seekers. They look for answers to complex questions in unexpected places and in novel ways.

In the winter edition of Colgate Research, you will find the University’s professors exploring the past — Nazi Germany through dissenting labor unions and colonization through the five senses. You will see them using photons to discern diseases of the mind, social sciences to examine professional hockey recruitment, and the comedy of Marc Maron to illuminate human emotionality.

Through this publication, we invite you to join the expedition. Share in the intellectual rigor, energy, passion, and creativity that engenders a distinctively Colgate approach to research.

Tracey E. Hucks
Provost and Dean of the Faculty
James A. Storing Professor of Religion and Africana & Latin American Studies
