“…This can be corroborated by a significant correlation of relapse with the questionnaire score on sensitivity to reward of the SPSRQ (r = 0.38, p < 0.01) and a non-significant one with the score on sensitivity to punishment (r = 0.24, p > 0.05). The SPSRQ subscale of sensitivity to reward is also significantly associated with aggression (r = 0.73, p < 0.001), our best predictor of relapse, and forms a common factor with aggression scales in a most recent large factor analysis of personality scales by Aluja et al [49], indicating that reward sensitivity is closely related to aggression.…”

Background: Personality traits like depression on the one hand and aggression and impulsivity on the other are assumed to be predisposing factors for different types of alcohol dependence. Both types are associated with sensitivity to frustration, but this may be different for the two types of personality according to whether they are confronted with frustrations caused by withdrawal from positive or infliction of negative events. It has not been shown so far if both types of personality factors and the two different sources of frustration are differently relevant for the propensity of relapse. This was investigated here in a study on 60 abstinent male alcohol-dependent patients. Methods: Correlations between the number of previous detoxifications reflecting liability to relapse and questionnaire scores on personality factors and on reactions to frustration were computed. Results: Bonferroni-corrected correlations yielded significant relationships between the number of detoxifications and the personality factor of aggression as well as pronounced depressive reactions to frustrating conditions of non-reward caused by humans. Controlling for impulsivity, aggression and depression revealed that depressive reactions to frustration are genuine predictors for probability of relapse independent of underlying personality factors. Persons particularly sensitive to frustrations from human denial of positive reinforcers are liable to relapse which fits the theory of sensitivity to reward in drug-addicted individuals. Conclusion: Results demonstrate that relapse is clearly more related to aggression than to impulsivity, depression and anxiety and may be facilitated if persons are sensitive to frustrating conditions of non-reward caused by social partners.

“…Assuming that the ImpSS and Sy represent different, but related constructs, we also analyzed an index composed by the sum of the scores on Sy and ImpSS (Sy + ImpSS). This index allows us to capture better the disinhibition construct within the Zuckerman's framework [19,32].…”

“…Similarly, extraversion or sociability is a personality dimension partly reflecting dominance. On the other hand, Sensation Seeking is also related to aggressiveness and impulsiveness [32].…”

“…It is also negatively related with Aggressiveness. It is not strange since Aggressiveness is negatively correlated with Contentiousness and Agreeableness, and positively correlated with Eysenck's Psychoticism (Aluja et al, 2013;Garc ıa, Escorial, Garc ıa, Blanch & Aluja, 2012). So, our results are congruent with comparative analyses of TEIQue Petrides et al, 2007Petrides et al, , 2010.…”

“…Recently, a new instrument including facets for each factor has been developed (Zuckerman‐Kuhlman‐Aluja Personality questionnaire, ZKA‐PQ; Aluja, Kuhlman & Zuckerman, ; Zuckerman & Aluja, ). The relationships between ZKA‐PQ and EPQ have been investigated by Aluja, Escorial, García, García, Blanch and Zuckerman (). The ZKA‐PQ Neuroticism obtained a correlation with EPQ Neuroticism of 0.64, whereas ZKA‐PQ Extraversion correlated 0.63 with the EPQ Extraversion.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between Emotional Intelligence (EI) measured by the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue) and personality measured by the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire (ZKA-PQ) with the purpose of analyzing similarities and differences of both psychological constructs. Additionally, we studied the relationship among EI, personality, General Intelligence (GI) and a social position index (SPI). Results showed that the ZKA-PQ predicts the 66% (facets) and the 64% (factors) of the TEIQue. High scores in EI correlated negatively with Neuroticism (r: -0.66) and Aggressiveness (r: -0.27); and positively with Extraversion (r: 0.62). Oblique factorial analyses demonstrated that TEIQue scales were located basically in the Neuroticism and Extraversion factors. The SPI and GI no loaded in any factor. These findings showed that EI is a not a distinct construct of personality and it cannot be isolated in the ZKA-PQ personality space. GI is related with the SPI (r: 0.26), and EI correlated with GI (r: 0.18) and SPI (r: 0.16). Nevertheless, we found differences between GI high groups and the TEIQue and ZKA-PQ factors when controlling age and sex. These findings are discussed in the individual differences context.
