The present study indicates that there is a relationship between perfectionism and chronic headache in university students, with those higher in perfectionism experiencing more frequent headaches. This investigation confirmed the relationship between daily hassles and chronic headache in this population. The results also suggest that perfectionists may generate their own stress through their tendency to appraise more situations as hassles. This, in turn, may explain their tendency to experience chronic headaches.

AbstractProblems relating to substance use are well documented among offenders, and risk factors for their pathological use are beginning to be explored. Both personality and motives have been implicated in substance abuse in the general population. However, few studies have focused on their relevance and interrelationships using correctional samples.This study examined the relationships between the personality dimensions incorporated in Tellegen's model of personality and the severity of substance dependence symptoms reported by offenders (N= 98). Their associations with offenders' motives for substance use were assessed as it was anticipated that such motives may provide an explanatory mechanism for the personality -substance abuse relationship. Results revealed several robust associations between personality and substance dependence. There was also evidence of some degree of specificity of these traits according to the type of substance being abused, and for motives to mediate these associations. The implications of these findings for offender programming are discussed.ii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission.
