“…After adjustment for antisocial behaviour at both ages, risk is reduced but remains significant for alcohol (P <.05) and tobacco use (P <.01). The independent association of perceived academic performance with frequent marijuana use is weaker, and appears to be fully mediated after adjustment for antisocial behaviour; not unexpected given the strong correlation of antisocial behaviour with use of illicit substances (Adalbjarnardottir & Rafnsson, 2002;Miller & Plant, 2002).…”

Objective: To study longitudinal relationships between perception of academic performance (PAP) and alcohol, tobacco and marijuana use at age 13 and 15 years.Method: Self-report data from students in 27 schools in South Australia (n =1579) was analysed with ANCOVA and logistic regression, controlling for confounding factors (socio-demographic, parenting, depressive symptoms, anxiety, self-esteem, antisocial behaviour).Results: Persistent or increasing perception of academic ' failure ' (self-rated failing or below average performance), compared to improving or stable perception of average (or above) performance, from age 13 to 15 years, predicts more than weekly alcohol and tobacco use at age 15 (3-to 4-fold risks), in addition to increased risks from early substance use (e.g., 12-to 15-fold for triple combinations), controlling for confounders. Increased risks for more than weekly marijuana use at age 15 are 3-fold in those with increasing perception of failure; though relationships are fully mediated by antisocial behaviour in those with persistent perceptions of failure. Conclusion:Interventions to maintain or improve academic self-esteem in early adolescence may reduce risks for accelerating substance use in mid-adolescence.

“…5 There are several studies in the literature associating tobacco consumption and novelty seeking, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impulsivity, aggressiveness, shyness, social alienation, self-esteem, as well as tendency to present anti-social, non conventional and risk behaviors, locus of control, and hostility, among others. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] A general overview on studies already developed on the topic show that smokers are more extravert, tense, anxious, depressive and impulsive than non-smokers or ex-smokers. Yet, they present increased traits of neuroticism, psychoticism, hostility, sensation seeking, and tendencies to anti-social, non-conventional and risky behaviors, as well as novelty seeking and mood disorders symptoms.…”

INTRODUÇÃO: O estudo da relação entre personalidade e tabagismo pode subsidiar o tratamento da dependência. OBJETIVOS: Identificar características de personalidade de fumantes, ex-fumantes e não-fumantes. MÉTODO: Foram selecionados 1.245 estudantes matriculados na Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso. Foi aplicado um questionário padronizado para levantamento do perfil sociodemográfico e padrão de consumo de tabaco dos estudantes, seguido pela versão revisada das Escalas Comrey de Personalidade (CPS). Utilizou-se a análise de variância ANOVA para comparação dos escores de fumantes, ex-fumantes e não-fumantes no CPS e duas análises de regressão logística múltipla para avaliar as associações entre os escores do CPS e tabagismo. RESULTADOS: Foi encontrada prevalência de 6,67% de fumantes, 6,58% de ex-fumantes e 86,73% de não-fumantes. A primeira análise de regressão logística detectou associação positiva entre a categoria fumante e os escores nas escalas de masculinidade (M) e tendenciosidade (R) e associação inversa com a escala de ordem x falta de compulsão (O) do CPS. A segunda detectou associação negativa da categoria ex-fumante com os escores obtidos em R e M e positiva com a escala de atividade x falta de energia (A) do CPS. DISCUSSÃO: Fumantes foram mais tendenciosos e adotaram mais o estereótipo social da masculinidade em relação a não-fumantes e ex-fumantes. Fumantes se descreveram mais como descuidados, relaxados, imprudentes, não-sistemáticos e pouco asseados em comparação aos não-fumantes. Ex-fumantes apresentaram mais vigor, energia e disposição em relação aos fumantes. Supõe-se que esses resultados possam subsidiar programas de tratamento da dependência nicotínica.

“…First, substance use may be a cause of delinquency, an approach exemplified by Goldstein's tripartite model (Goldstein 1985;Menard and Mihalic 2001;Boles and Miotto 2003), which focuses on the psychopharmacological effects of substances (alcohol in particular) as well as the systemic and economic factors which connect substance use and delinquency. A second theory holds that, since the onset of delinquent behavior generally precedes the onset of substance use, delinquency causes substance use (Stice et al 1998;Bui et al 2000;Adalbjarnardottir and Rafnsson 2002;Clark et al 2002). The third theory suggests that substance use and delinquent behavior interact and directly influence each other through circular processes or feedback mechanisms (White et al 1999;Huang et al 2001;Welte et al 2001;Mason and Windle 2002).…”

The relationship between delinquency and substance use and abuse has been much studied. Investigating this relationship as a function to the type of adolescent delinquent behavior presented, whether antisocial or violent, might help explain this complex issue. To this end, 211 adolescents completed the Adolescent Drug Abuse Diagnosis (ADAD), a multidimensional evaluation instrument that provided information regarding their substance use and antisocial behavior. Subjects were separated into three groups (violent, antisocial, and control) as a function of their reported antisocial behavior. The three groups were compared on the lifetime use of tobacco, alcohol and cannabis, and any illicit substance. The ages of initiation for these substances were also examined. Results indicated a high percentage of lifetime and problem substance use among violent and antisocial adolescents. However, on the issue of substance use initiation age, the violent adolescents consistently began using substances significantly earlier than both control and antisocial adolescents.
