“…Future work would benefit from using measures of personality that are able to capture these granular elements of personality. This is important in light of evidence that other forms of externalizing psychopathology (e.g., alcohol use) have meaningful personality predictors across multiple domains (Lui et al, 2021).…”

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the developmental trajectory of adolescents' aggression and the role of the Five-Factor Model (FFM) traits during the transition to college. Method: A sample of 973 Chinese college freshmen (73.9% females) was recruited to complete the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness (NEO) Five-Factor Inventory and Aggression Questionnaire with a short-term longitudinal research design across four waves with an interval of 1 month between waves. We calculated bivariate relations between FFM traits and Physical and Verbal Aggression at each time point, and latent growth models were computed to examine the trajectory of aggression over the first 4 months of college. Results: Results indicated that (a) Agreeableness displayed large and negative bivariate relations to Physical and Verbal Aggression (r = −.32 to −.48 and r = −.38 to −.47, respectively); (b) Physical Aggression showed an increased linear trajectory across the four waves, while Verbal Aggression showed a decreased linear trajectory (S = .02 and S = −.02, respectively); (c) high Neuroticism was associated with a larger increase in Physical Aggression and a smaller decrease in Verbal Aggression over time (β = .21 and β = .16, respectively); and (d) males obtained larger relations between Neuroticism and trajectories of Verbal Aggression than females (β = .44 and β = .10, respectively). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the role of multiple personality traits in predicting aggressive behavior during a key transitional period.

“…addiction diagnostic guidelines), may, in fact, be linked with and reflect a distinctive underlying personality and its development. Personality traits have been conceptualized not only to constitute genetic phenotypes disposing for alcohol use ( 14 ), but also driving forces behind the motivations to engage in drinking behaviors as well as behind the very drinking paradigms ( 15 ). Hence, individually targeted interventions have proven useful in prevention of AUDs and other addictions ( 16 , 17 ).…”

“…In two different studies, Zilberman et al ( 29 , 30 ) found all addiction populations to manifest greater impulsivity and neuroticism relative to controls, while individuals with AUDs to also score lower on extraversion, agreeableness, and openness to experience. Next to low agreeableness (particularly the facets compliance and straightforwardness), meta-analytic evidence seems to implicate also lower conscientiousness (mostly the facets deliberation and dutifulness) as a likely predictor of pathological alcohol consumption, with certain facets of extraversion (i.e., excitement seeking) and neuroticism (i.e., impulsiveness and angry hostility) considered accountable for affecting drinking behaviors and alcohol-related problems ( 15 ). What this brief review of evidence therefore suggests is that rather than factors per se , it may be certain profiles of characteristics that seem to be related to AUDs.…”

In the face of increasing social, economic, and health consequences of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and limited effects of available treatment options, the search for novel prevention and management methods continues to remain a timely and valid endeavor. This, however, requires a better grasp of the theoretical framework underlying addiction mechanisms. With the goal to extend the existing body of evidence on AUDs, we set out to investigate the effect of personality-related factors and depressive symptomatology on (i) impulsivity, (ii) cognitive response inhibition, and (iii) the links between the two measures of behavioral control (different facets of impulsivity and response inhibition) in a treatment-seeking AUD sample. To this end, 53 male (n = 45) and female (n = 8) inpatients at an alcohol rehabilitation center completed three self-report questionnaires: the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP-50), the Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition (BDI-II) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) and performed one behavioral task—an alcohol go/no go task. Regression analyses revealed conscientiousness, intellect, and depression level to be important potential predictors of self-report impulsivity and processing speed in recovering drinkers. No significant links were observed between the two measures of behavioral control, thus complementing evidence that while they both encompass behavioral under-regulation, they may indeed represent distinct psychological constructs.

“…Considering this, available meta-analytic evidence suggests higher alcohol consumption in persons with low conscientiousness (responsible for self-control, flexibility, and adherence to social norms), low agreeableness (cooperativeness, kindness, and trust towards others), and high neuroticism (little emotional stability, proneness to anxiety, and sensitivity to negative emotions) [ 10 ]. Next to low agreeableness (compliance and straightforwardness in particular), low conscientiousness (mostly deliberation and dutifulness) and high neuroticism (i.e., impulsiveness and angry hostility), another meta-analysis seems to also implicate certain facets of extraversion (i.e., excitement-seeking) as likely predictors of pathological alcohol use [ 11 ], thus highlighting the associations between the two notions. Regarding facets related to alcohol abuse, past or present diagnoses thereof were found to be linked to low scores on “trust, achievement striving, self-discipline, and dutifulness” and high scores on “impulsiveness, vulnerability, and excitement-seeking” [ 12 ].…”

Given the high global incidence and disabling nature of alcohol use disorders, alongside high relapse rates, we sought to investigate potential predictors of abstinence, considered a prerequisite of full remission. With an aim to examine (i) the effect of personality, alcohol abstinence self-efficacy, and depressive symptomatology on abstinence status as our primary objective, and (ii) interactions between these three factors, as well as (iii) their changes over time as two secondary objectives, we recruited 51 inpatients at an alcohol rehabilitation center to complete the International Personality Item Pool, the Alcohol Abstinence Self-Efficacy Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory, and to provide information on abstinence attainment 2 months post-treatment. Although regression analyses revealed no evidence for the effect of the investigated factors (personality, self-efficacy, or depressive symptoms) on post-therapy abstinence, other findings emerged, demonstrating (i) a significant reduction in the severity of depressive symptoms, (ii) the effect of personality and alcohol abstinence self-efficacy on depressive symptom severity, and (iii) the role of personality in predicting the temptation to use alcohol in recovering drinkers. These preliminary indications of links between personality, self-efficacy, and subjective well-being mark a promising area for future research on powerful and relevant cues of relapse and abstinence efficacy.
