“…Both showed more novelty-seeking, less self-directedness and more self-transcendence than the controls. Higher levels of SS in the addict groups than in the controls were previously demonstrated (Malatesta et al, 1981;Cloninger et al, 1988;Galen et al, 1997;Ravaja and Keltikangas-Jarvinen, 2001;Gabel et al, 1997;Van Ammers et al, 1997;Masse and Tremblay, 1997;Heath et al, 1995;Pomerleau et al, 1992;Vukov et al, 1995;Ball et al, 1994Ball et al, , 1995Kusyszyn and Rutter, 1985). More contrasted results are found in the literature on harm avoidance, with some studies reporting lower levels (Wills et al, 1994), and others, like in the present study, higher levels (de Wit and Bodker, 1994).…”

“…It is close to Eysenck's Neuroticism concept (1968). In comparison with the controls, it was found lower in alcohol patients with early onset (Cloninger et al, 1988), with alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use in adolescents (Wills et al, 1994) and with the drinking frequency among adolescent psychiatric inpatients (Galen et al, 1997). In contrast, higher Shyness with Strangers (a sub-dimension of HA in the Cloninger model) has been found in moderate drinkers (de Wit and Bodker, 1994).…”

As personality may predispose, precipitate or perpetuate substance abuse and/or dependence, and as it is considered to remain stable across the years in a given subject, potential links with the drug of choice may help screen future patients before drug consumption. The present study compared three groups: 42 patients with heroin dependence (mean age: 31.2; standard deviation (SD): 5.5; 10 females), 37 patients with alcohol dependence (mean age 44.2; SD: 9.1; 9 females) and 83 subjects from a random population sample (mean age: 38.8; SD: 6.9; 20 females). Personality was measured by Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Pillai's MANCOVA with age as a covariate and gender as a cofactor was highly significant. Univariate ANOVA analyses using TCI dimensions as dependent variable showed most variables to vary in parallel for the two patient groups in comparison with controls. Post-hoc tests showed heroin patients to score higher in Novelty-Seeking and Self-Directedness than alcohol patients. Sub-dimensions Exploratory Excitability, Fear of the Uncertain, Responsibility, Congruent Second Nature and Transpersonal Identification were also significantly different in the two patient samples. Logistic regression showed Exploratory Excitability to segregate up to 76% of heroin patients from alcohol patients. In conclusion, personality profiles were linked to some preferential choice of drug and personality screening might be tested in preventive strategies.

“…Consequently, alcohol expectancies should be less powerful in predicting treatment outcome than self-efficacy. However, alcohol expectancies are related to a variety of factors including personality [17], setting [18], and the anticipated blood alcohol concentration [19]. Therefore, outcome expectancies may be important independent predictors of drinking behavior.…”

backgroundThe results of numerous studies indicate strong associations of personality with the occurrence, and also with the treatment, of alcohol dependence. However, there is no agreement regarding the role of particular dimensions of temperament and character in the course of, and for the results of, alcohol rehabilitation therapy. The objective of the present research was to investigate the relationships between the dimensions of temperament and character as they are presented by Robert Cloninger and motivation for maintaining abstinence in the case of male alcohol-dependent individuals concluding the therapy. participants and procedureEighty-nine male alcohol-dependent individuals, concluding alcohol rehabilitation therapy in an outpatient setting, were studied. The following research tools were applied: the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) of R. Cloninger in the Polish adaptation of E. Hornowska (2003), and the Motivation for Maintaining Abstinence Inventory, the author of which is M. Ziółkowski. resultsTwo clusters, differing in the aspect of motivation for maintaining abstinence after the conclusion of the treatment, were distinguished: of individuals manifesting weaker motivation (n = 39) and those manifesting stronger motivation (n = 50). The patients with stronger motivation manifested the following major features: a lower level of harm avoidance, a higher level of reward dependence, and a higher level of cooperativeness.conclusions Personality as it is presented by Cloninger manifests connections with motivation for maintaining abstinence. The research confirms the need for diagnosing addicted patients in the scope of temperament and character traits. key words alcohol dependence; motivation for maintaining abstinence; temperament and character in accordance with Cloninger, the TCI
