This research aims to examine the relationship between personality traits and food neophobia levels in generations X and Y.
Cross-sectional design conducted from May to July 2024 with 306 volunteers aged 24-60 from generations X and Y in Ankara.
Data collected through face-to-face questionnaires, including a personal information form, the Turkish version of the Big Five Personality Inventory, and the Food Neophobia Scale.

Generation X scored significantly higher on food neophobia than Generation Y (p<0.001).
21.6% of Generation X were found to be food neophobic compared to 9.8% of Generation Y (p<0.001).
Higher extraversion and openness scores were found in Generation Y (p=0.018; p<0.001), while neuroticism correlated positively with food neophobia only in Generation X (r=0.168, p<0.05).
