“…Each dimension is composed of three to five facets corresponding to five to ten questions scored on a 7-point Likert scale. The Brazilian Portuguese version of the TCI-R has been previously validated, 30 and there was evidence of very good internal consistency reliability of the TCI-R on our website, as denoted by Cronbach's alpha values . 0.80 for all scales.…”

Objectives: To evaluate how personality traits are associated with occasional use, abuse, and dependence of alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and hallucinogens in a large availability sample of adults via online questionnaires. Methods: The sample consisted of 8,646 individuals (24.7% men and 75.3% women) who completed an anonymous web survey. Involvement with drugs and temperament/character traits were assessed through the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) and the Temperament and Character Inventory -Revised (TCI-R), respectively. Interactions among variables were analyzed using MANOVA with Bonferroni adjustment. Results: Novelty seeking was the trait most associated with increased involvement with alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine. There was a significant association between harm avoidance and benzodiazepine use. Persistence was lower in cannabis-, benzodiazepine-, and cocaine-dependent subjects, as well as in hallucinogen abusers. Self-directedness was reduced in dependents of all drug classes. No strong relationships were found between other temperament or character dimensions and the severity of drug use. Conclusions: Novelty seeking was associated with increased involvement with all drugs studied in this sample, although to a lesser extent with benzodiazepines and hallucinogens. The temperament and character profile for benzodiazepine use was different from that of other drugs due to the relationship with higher harm avoidance and self-transcendence and lower self-directedness.

“…La complejidad de los modelos puede adecuarse, a su vez, a por lo menos tres tipos de categorizaciones del fenómeno. Las coincidencias entre los autores podrían ser las siguientes: A) Todas aquellas conductas definidas por la búsqueda de actividad y de refuerzo positivo, así como la evitación activa de la frustración como característica pueden ser comunes a las categorías Búsqueda de Aventuras (Eysenck, 1977), la IF (Dickman, 1990;Dickman, 1999), la Impulsividad como característica de la hiperactividad del SAC (Gray et al, 2003;Russo, et al, 2008;Wallace, 2009), la Exploración como faceta de la BN (Cloninger, 1987a;Cloninger, et al, 1993;Goncalves, & Cloninger, 2010), la Búsqueda de sensaciones (Zuckerman, 2007), la Impulsividad Motora (Barrat, et al, 1997;Patton, et al, 1995) y la Búsqueda de Excitación (Smith, et al, 2007;Whiteside, & Lynam, 2001). B) También podemos categorizar a todos aquellos comportamientos sostenidos por el alivio de la tensión producida por el estrés a través de la evitación activa o la realización de comportamientos compulsivos.…”

“…Un estilo que no atiende a todas las opciones presentes al momento de la toma de decisiones. Bajo esta definición podemos encontrar a la Impulsividad en Sentido Estricto, (Eysenck, 1977;Eysenck, 1987), la ID (Dickman, 1990;Dickman, 1999), la Impulsividad como rasgo de la BN (Goncalves, & Cloninger, 2010;Cloninger, 1987a;Cloninger, et al, 1993), la Búsqueda de Experiencias, la Desinhibición y la Susceptibilidad al Aburrimiento (Zuckerman, 2007), la Impulsividad por Imprevisión (Barrat, et al, 1997;Patton, et al, 1995), la Falta de Planificación y la Falta de Persistencia (Mobb, et al, 2010;Smith, et al, 2007;Whiteside, & Lynam, 2001). En un intento de organizar la información conceptual generada hasta la fecha se ha confeccionado un cuadro comparativo que intenta presentar de manera clara los diferentes tipos de impulsividades descriptos en los modelos citados (ver tabla 1).…”

“…Recientemente se ha utilizado la última versión del inventario de personalidad creado por Cloninger, Temperament and Character Inventory -Revised TCI-R para evaluar los sistemas SIC y SAC a partir de las variables ED y BN, respectivamente. Las medidas psicométricas además correlacionan con el funcionamiento de áreas neurales específicas que se piensan implicadas en el funcionamiento del SIC y SAC (Goncalves, & Cloninger, 2010;O'Gorman, et al, 2006).…”

El concepto de impulsividad y su ubicación en las teorías psicobiológicas de la personalidad ResumenEn los últimos años la impulsividad ha sido motivo de innumerable cantidad de trabajos en psicología. Los investigadores suelen trabajar con diferentes ideas acerca de qué es la impulsividad. Estas conceptualizaciones diferentes no siempre son explicitadas. El presente artículo revisa las principales concepciones sobre la impulsividad provenientes de la psicología de la personalidad. Se revisan tanto los modelos basados en análisis factorial como aquellos construidos a partir de la psicobiología. Se concluye que la impulsividad es un concepto multidimensional. Debido a esto debemos hablar de diferentes clases de impulsividad antes que referirnos a un constructo unitario. Palabras-claves: Impulsividad; personalidad; psicobiología; búsqueda de sensaciones. RésuméRécemment, l'impulsivité a fait l'objet d'un nombre important de travaux en psychologie. Ceux-ci révèlent que les chercheurs travaillent souvent sur différentes idées de ce qu'est l'impulsivité. Ces différentes conceptualisations ne sont pas toujours explicites. Cet article recense les principales conceptions de l'impulsivité provenant de la psychologie de la personnalité. Les modèles fondés sur l'analyse de facteur sont présentés, ainsi que ceux provenant de la psychobiologie. En conclusion, il apparaît que l'impulsivité est un concept multidimensionnel. Pour cette raison, nous devons parler de différents types d'impulsivité plutôt que de se référer à un construit unitaire.

AbstractIn recent years, impulsivity has been the subject of countless works in psychology. Researchers often work on different ideas about what is impulsivity. These different conceptualizations are not always made explicit. This article reviews the main conceptions of impulsivity arising from the psychology of personality. Models based on factor analysis are reviewed as well as those built from psychobiology. It is concluded that impulsivity is a multidimensional concept. For this reason, we must speak of different types of impulsivity rather than referring to a unitary construct.

Objective: It is unclear why some individuals reporting psychotic experiences have balanced lives while others go on to develop mental health problems. The objective of this study was to test if the personality traits of harm avoidance, self-directedness, and self-transcendence can be used as criteria to differentiate healthy from unhealthy schizotypal individuals. Conclusion: Personality features are important criteria to distinguish between pathology and mental health in individuals presenting high levels of anomalous experiences (AEs). While self-directedness is a protective factor, both harm avoidance and novelty seeking were predictors of negative mental health outcomes. We suggest that the impact of AEs on mental health is moderated by personality factors.
