“…However, the enhanced sensitivity was specific to self-report measures; d-amphetamine effects on cardiovascular and performance measures were not different between groups. High novelty or sensation-seeking status is associated with an increased frequency and amount of drug use (Brennan et al 1986;Wills et al 1994Wills et al , 1995 and increased risk for the development of drug abuse and dependence (Hawkins et al 1992;Huba et al 1981). The results of this study suggest that escalating patterns of drug use and the development of problems associated with that use among high impulsive high sensation seekers might be due, in part, to increased sensitivity to the reinforcing effects of drugs.…”

“…The personality dimension of novelty or sensation seeking is associated with the initiation of drug use and the frequency and amount of drug use among adolescents and young adults (Brennan et al 1986;White et al 2005;Wills et al 1994Wills et al , 1995. Furthermore, individuals with these personality traits are at increased risk for the development of drug abuse and dependence (Hawkins et al 1992;Huba et al 1981).…”

Rationale-While the personality dimensions of novelty seeking and sensation seeking are associated with drug abuse vulnerability, the mechanisms associated with this vulnerability remain obscure.Objective-This study examined the behavioral effects of d-amphetamine in healthy volunteers scoring in the upper and lower quartiles based on age-and gender-adjusted population norms on the impulsive Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS) of the Zuckerman-Kuhlman personality questionnaire (ZKPQ).Method-Participants completed 7-day outpatient studies examining the subjective, performance, and cardiovascular effects of d-amphetamine (0, 7.5, and 15 mg/70 kg, p.o.) under double-blind conditions according to a randomized block design. Performance tasks included behavioral measures of impulsivity, including attention, inhibition, and risk-taking behavior.Results-No differences in baseline performance or d-amphetamine effects on measures of attention, inhibition, and risk-taking behavior were observed.

“…Personality traits comprising "difficult temperament," which includes aspects of hostility, (Windle, 1991), have been associated with numerous adolescent problem behaviors including alcohol use (e.g., Caspi et al, 1997;Jessor & Jessor, 1977;Gerrard, Gibbons, Benthin & Hessling, 1996;Shoal & Giancola, 2003;Wills et al,1995; Zuckerman 1994). Associations have been found between early childhood aggressiveness and later alcohol consumption (e.g., Block, Block, & Keyes, 1988;Boyle et al, 1993;Brook et al,1986;Kellam, Brown, & Fleming, 1982).…”

“…During the elementary-school years, children develop the precursors of their adult personality traits (Wills, DuHamel, & Vaccaro, 1995). Hostility and sociability have clear counterparts in infant temperament, personality in middle childhood, and personality in adulthood, and therefore are well-suited for study in this age range (Mervielde & Asendorpf, 2000).…”

The authors tested a mediation model in which childhood hostility and sociability were expected to influence the development of intentions to use alcohol in the future through the mediating mechanisms of developing attitudes and norms. Children in 1 st through 5 th grades (N = 1,049) from a Western Oregon community participated in a longitudinal study involving four annual assessments. Hostility and sociability were assessed by teachers= ratings at the first assessment, and attitudes, subjective norms and intentions were assessed by self-report at all four assessments. For both genders, latent growth modeling demonstrated that sociability predicted an increase in intentions to use alcohol over time, whereas hostility predicted initial levels of these intentions. These personality effects were mediated by the development of attitudes and subjective norms, supporting a model wherein childhood personality traits exert their influence on the development of intentions to use alcohol through the development of these more proximal cognitions. KeywordsPersonality; children; alcohol intentions; attitudes; subjective norms Alcohol is a widely accepted and licit substance that children as young as 3 years old can recognize (Spiegler, 1983). Early use by children and adolescents is associated with adult alcohol abuse (Grant & Dawson, 1997;Newcomb & Bentler, 1988). Although there has been considerable research on contextual, family and peer influences (Andrews, Hops & Duncan, 1997;Andrews, Hops, Tildesley & Li, 2002;Brook, Whiteman, Nomura, Gordon, & Cohen, 1988;Duncan, Duncan, & Hops, 1994; Patterson, Reid, & Dishion, 1992), there has been less examination of the influence of young children's personality traits and cognitions on the development of alcohol use (Tarter, 1988;Tarter et al., 1999). In the present study, we examined whether the influence of two personality traits, hostility and sociability, on the development of intentions regarding future alcohol use was mediated by attitudes and subjective norms. Both traits were assessed by teacher's ratings. Hostility was defined as physical and relational aggression, and associating with misbehaving children; sociability was defined as a combination of social competence, energy, and popularity. This model was tested on a community sample of young children participating in an ongoing longitudinal study, the Oregon Youth Substance Use Project (OYSUP; Andrews, Tildesley, Hops, Duncan, & Severson, 2003;Severson, Andrews, & Walker, 2003).

Although few children in 1 st through 8 th grades have experimented with alcohol, during this period they develop intentions regarding their future use of alcohol. NIH Public Ac...
