“…People with high HA tend to show pessimistic worry, anticipatory anxiety, and introversion [ 18 ]. Neuroticism is conceptually similar to HA, as both are related to a person’s tendency toward anxiety; additionally, neuroticism has been found to be positively correlated with HA [ 28 ]. Many previous studies have suggested that high neuroticism increased mortality [ 29 ] or was irrelevant [ 30 ].…”

In Europe and America, associations between personality traits and body-mass index (BMI) have been reported. However, in Japan, the association between personality traits and BMI (i.e., thinness and obesity) has not been well studied. In this study, we investigated the relationship between Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) personality traits and changes in BMI status among Japanese students during their university attendance. We measured the height and weight of 5,340 students in a Japanese university during annual medical checkups and calculated their BMI. The students’ personality traits were measured using the short Japanese version of the TCI at university admission. The participants were divided into seven groups based on how BMI changed from the first year to the fourth year at university. In men, compared to the group that maintained normal BMI status (N = 2,189) over time (i.e., the control group), the group that maintained thinness status (N = 226) were lower in Reward Dependence, and the group whose status improved from thinness to normal (N = 117) were higher in Harm Avoidance. In women, compared with the control group (N = 1,510), the group that maintained thinness status (N = 302) was lower in Novelty Seeking, and the group whose status worsened from normal to thinness (N = 127) was higher in Harm Avoidance. Weak associations were found between thinness and TCI personality traits among Japanese university students. Further elaboration of the relationship between obesity or thinness and personality traits may help to provide effective preventive interventions in these areas.

“…Several studies investigated the relevance of Cloninger's model and the five-factor model as indicators of personality assessment, and indicated that there is a positive correlation between reward dependence in Cloninger's temperament dimensions and extraversion in the five personality dimensions. 28 29 Meanwhile, low reward dependence has been related to high noradrenergic activity. 25 Therefore, lower extraversion in subjects with the A/T and T/T genotypes may be explained by elevated extracellular levels of norepinephrine related to reduced functioning of the NET.…”

“… 20 21 22 23 24 In addition, several studies reported that in the five-factor model of personality, reward dependence primarily relates to extraversion. 28 29 Therefore, if NET gene polymorphism contributes to the personality dimension of reward dependence, it might be associated with reward dependence-related traits in the five-factor model. All of these research findings are based on Cloninger's model.…”

ObjectiveNorepinephrine is an important chemical messenger that is involved in mood and stress in humans, and is reabsorbed by the norepinephrine transporter (NET). According to Cloninger's theory, the noradrenergic system mediates the personality trait of reward dependence. Thus far, although association studies on NET gene polymorphisms and Cloninger's personality traits have been reported, they yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, in the present study we investigated whether or not the 1287G/A, -182T/C and -3081A/T polymorphisms of the NET gene (SLC6A2) are associated with reward dependence-related traits, as assessed by the five-factor model.MethodsAfter written informed consent was obtained from participants, the three NET gene polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and personality was assessed by the Neuroticism Extraversion Openness-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) in 270 Japanese university students.ResultsA significant relation was found between the -3081A/T functional promoter polymorphism and NEO-FFI scores: those with the T allele exhibited a lower extraversion (E) score than those without the T allele (Mann-Whitney U-test: z=-3.861, p<0.001). However, there was no correlation between the other NET gene polymorphisms and E score, and no association with other dimensions and these three polymorphisms.ConclusionWe conclude that the -3081A/T functional polymorphism in the NET gene may affect the extraversion of reward dependence-related traits, as measured by NEO-FFI. However, we used only the shortened version of NEO-PI-R in this study. Further investigations are necessary using the full version of self-rating personality questionnaires.

“…However, in our previous study, childhood abuse was not limited to abuse by parents [ 6 ]. In general, human personality can be explained by five or more dimensions, such as the ‘Big Five’ personality model and the seven dimensions of the TCI [ 16 , 23 ]. However, the mediating effects of personality traits between parenting and well-being have only been reported for a few personality traits, including neuroticism and extraversion [ 6 , 21 ], and have not been studied regarding a larger number of personality traits using comprehensive personality models, such as the TCI and the ‘Big Five’.…”

Background Previous studies reported that subjective well-being in adulthood correlates with perceived parental bonding in childhood as well as personality traits. However, whether personality traits mediate the effect of perceived parental bonding on well-being or not has not been reported to date. In this study, we hypothesized that ‘parental care and overprotection’ in childhood affect ‘well-being’ in adulthood through various ‘personality traits’, and analyzed this using structural equation modeling. Methods A total of 402 adult volunteers from the community provided responses to the following questionnaires: 1) Parental Bonding Instrument, 2) Temperament and Character Inventory, and 3) The Subjective Well-being Inventory. Two structural equation models were designed and the maximum likelihood estimation method was used for covariance structure analysis. Results Parental care in childhood directly increased well-being in adulthood and indirectly increased it through personality traits (harm avoidance, reward dependence, and self-directedness). Parental overprotection in childhood had no direct effect on well-being in adulthood but decreased well-being in adulthood indirectly through personality traits (harm avoidance, reward dependence, and self-directedness) and increased it through one personality trait (self-transcendence). Conclusions This study showed that the influences of perceived parental bonding on well-being in adulthood are mediated by self-directedness, harm avoidance, reward dependence, and self-transcendence among the seven personality dimensions evaluated by the Temperament and Character Inventory.
