“…Significant relationships between impulsivity and Sensation Seeking and testosterone have been reported in general and criminal samples [45,46]. Thus, it has been replicated that subjects with high scores on impulsive-related traits such as Experience Seeking, Disinhibition or Boredom Susceptibility tended to present higher testosterone scores [21,29,[47][48][49][50]. These studies support the theoretical association between Impulsive Sensation Seeking and gonadal hormones raised by Zuckerman's psychobiological personality model [51].…”

This study was designed to examine the relationships among the impulsivity construct as a personality trait, the dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), and testosterone in a sample of 120 healthy middle-aged males. (Mage = 44.39; SD = 12.88). The sum of the three BIS-11 scales, the SR and the five UPPS-P scales correlated with DHEA-S .23 (p < .006) and testosterone .19 (p < .04), controlling for age. Partial correlations showed that DHEA-S is significantly related to Motor impulsivity (.24; p < .008), Sensitivity to Reward (.29; p < .002) and Lack of premeditation (.26; p < .05) and, to a lesser extent, Sensation Seeking (.19; p < .04) and Positive Urgency (.19; p < .04). Testosterone correlated with Attention impulsivity (.18; p < .04), Sensation Seeking (.18; p < .04), and Positive Urgency (.22; p < .01). Sensitivity to Reward, Negative Urgency and Positive Urgency were significant predictors of DHEA-S (R2 = .28), and Positive Urgency for testosterone (R2 = .09). Non-parametric LOESS graphical analysis for local regression allowed us to visualize the non-linear relationships between the impulsivity scales with the two androgens, including non-significant trends. We discuss the implications of these results for biological impulsive personality traits, the limitations of our analyses, and the possible development of future research.

“…Mohammad Aboul-ata and Faten Amer reported the relationship between Hostility and Disinhibition. [21][22][23] As for Perseveration facet, the cross-loading has occurred on Negative Affect, Detachment and Disinhibition. This result is partially consistent with previous studies in which Perseveration has been loaded on Negative Affect and Detachment.…”

Background -The present study aimed to investigate the pathological personality traits of undergraduate students using the Personality Inventory for among Egyptian university-age participants. Method -We replicated the five-factor model of the PID-5 using exploratory structural equation modelling analysis with target rotation towards the original study of the PID-5 construction. Next, we estimated the factor congruence to identify the similarity of the present five-factor solution with the available relevant studies. Moreover, we investigated the pattern of the Personality Pathology hierarchy for the PID-5. The sample comprised 845 undergraduate students whose ages ranged between 18 and 28 years (mean = 19.89 and standard deviation = 1.43). Results -The present study findings showed that the reliability of the PID-5 facets was acceptable. In addition, the factor congruence results showed that the replicated five factors had acceptable congruence coefficients with some relevant studies. Also, the results indicated that the hierarchy levels were found to be consistent with some relevant findings. Discussion -Generally, the PID-5 showed sufficient reliability and validity; however, there were significant cross-loadings that have been discussed in detail in the succeeding text. Further, this is the first study in the Arab world that uses exploratory structural equation modelling and build a hierarchical structure to investigate the PID-5.
