An investigation was conducted to examine correlates of emotional concerns and personality characteristics in a general freshman population. The scores were analysed using agglomerative and divisive hierarchical clustering methods. The results indicate the presence of a coherent group which concerns emotional factors, and show a distinct user group strongly related to the first group. The data do not determine the importance of various personality factors in influencing emotional concerns.
