“…Related constructs, including impulsivity and reward processing, do not consistently predict substance use disorder treatment outcome 33,34 ; hence the construct of grit may be promising. Grit is unique in focusing on the ability to pursue a goal over the long-term, which may be relevant to the ability to adhere to a treatment regimen or to sustain abstinence.…”

Background and Objectives Grit is an emerging concept in positive psychology, defined as the ability to be persistent and focused in pursuit of long-term goals. This concept has received a great deal of interest recently because of its robust ability to predict success and well-being across a wide variety of domains. The study aim was to examine the clinical relevance of the construct of grit among patients with substance use disorders. Methods Inpatients on a detoxification unit were enrolled from September 2013-August 2015 (N=673). Psychometric properties of the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) were reported. We then examined sociodemographic and clinical variables that might be associated with grit in this population. Results In this sample of patients with substance use disorders, the total Grit-S demonstrated strong psychometric properties. Grit-S scores were higher among older patients and those who were employed; scores were lower among those never married, diagnosed with a co-occurring psychiatric disorder, or who had used heroin during the past month, according to bivariate analyses. Grit-S scores remained associated with age, employment, and presence of a co-occurring psychiatric disorder in adjusted analysis. Conclusions and Scientific Significance This study provides initial support for the utility of the Grit-S among those with substance use disorders; this novel measure has not been previously reported in clinical populations. Research examining grit prospectively is needed to determine whether the links between grit and outcomes observed in other populations apply to patients with substance use disorders.

“…BAS measures have also been found to be a good measure of proneness or vulnerability to some psychiatric pathologies. Higher reward sensitivity has been related to the presence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms (Mitchell & Nelson-Gray, 2006), substance use and abuse (Boog et al, 2014;Franken, Muris, & Georgieva, 2006;Knyazev, 2004;Pardo, Aguilar, Molinuevo, & Torrubia, 2007;Yen et al, 2012), eating disorders (Glashouwer, Bloot, Veenstra, Franken, & de Jong, 2014;Matton, Goossens, Braet, & Vervaet, 2013;Matton, Goossens, Vervaet, & Braet, 2015), psychopathy (Newman, MacCoon, Vaughn, & Sadeh, 2005), and cluster B personality disorders (Bijttebier, Beck, Claes, & Vandereycken, 2009;Pastor et al, 2007;Taylor, Reeves, James, & Bobadilla, 2006). Moreover, lower reward sensitivity has been associated with depressive disorders (Kasch, Rottenberg, Arnow, & Gotlib, 2002;Pinto-Meza et al, 2006).…”

The behavioral approach system (BAS), based on reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST), is a neurobehavioral system responsible for detecting and promoting motivated behaviors towards appetitive stimuli. Anatomically, the frontostriatal system has been proposed as the core of the BAS, mainly the ventral tegmental area and the ventral striatum and their dopaminergic connections with medial prefrontal structures. The RST also proposes the personality trait of reward sensitivity as a measurable construct of stable individual differences in BAS activity. However, the relationship between this trait and brain connectivity Bat rest^has been poorly studied, mainly because previous investigations have focused on studying brain activity under rewardrelated contingency paradigms. Here, we analyzed the influence of reward sensitivity on the resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) between BAS-related areas by correlating the BOLD time series with the scores on the Sensitivity to Reward (SR) scale in a sample of 89 healthy young adults. Rs-FC between regions of interest were all significant. Results also revealed a positive association between SR scores and the rs-FC between the VTA and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and between the latter structure and the anterior cingulate cortex. These results suggest that reward sensitivity could be associated with different restingstate activity in the mesocortical pathway.

“…According to previous research, trait‐impulsivity is defined as a tendency to respond to transient rewards or stimulus, without thinking possible negative consequences [Kreek et al, ]. It is suggested that impulsivity may have multidimensional construct and different dimensions of impulsiveness may play different roles in substance dependence [Boog et al, ]. The Temperament and Character Inventory describes seven personality dimensions (or traits) to account for individual differences in behavior: four temperament trait (Harm avoidance, Novelty seeking, Reward dependence, and Persistence) and three character traits (Self‐directedness, Cooperativeness, and Self‐transcendence) [Cloninger, ].…”

Relapse is a typical feature of heroin addiction and rooted in genetic and psychological determinants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of personality traits, impulsivity, and COMT gene polymorphism (rs4680) on relapse to heroin use during 5-year follow up. 564 heroin dependent patients were enrolled in compulsory drug rehabilitation center. 12 months prior to their release, personality traits were measured by BIS-11 (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11) and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). The COMT gene rs4680 polymorphism was genotyped using a DNA sequence detection system. The heroin use status was evaluated for 5 years after discharged. Among the 564 heroin-dependent patients, 500 were followed for 5 years after discharge and 53.0% (n = 265) were considered as relapsed to heroin use according to a strict monitor system. Univariate analysis showed that age, having ever been in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), the total scores and non-planning scores of BIS-11, and the COMT rs4680 gene variants were different between relapse and abstinent groups. Logistic regression analysis showed higher BIS total score, having ever been in MMT and younger first heroin use age are the predictors of relapse to heroin use during 5 years follow-up, and the COMT rs4680 gene had an interaction with BIS scores. Our findings indicated that the impulsive personality traits, methadone use history, and onset age could predict relapse in heroin-dependent patients during 5 year's follow up. The COMT gene showed a moderational effect in part the relationship of impulsivity with heroin relapse.
