“…In the clinics, impaired social cognition was reported in patients with a drinking history (Valmas et al, 2014). Tobacco smokers and abstinent marijuana smokers appear more prone to display aggressive behavior (Bernstein et al, 2014; Budney et al, 2001), which may compromise social relationships. In cocaine abstinent animals, we found no modification of direct social interaction, but a moderately decreased interest for the social stimulus in the three-chamber test.…”

Differential behavioral and molecular alterations upon protracted abstinence from cocaine versus morphine, nicotine, THC and alcohol

Unified theories of addiction are challenged by differing drug-seeking behaviors and neurobiological adaptations across drug classes, particularly for narcotics and psychostimulants. We previously showed that protracted abstinence to opiates leads to despair behavior and social withdrawal in mice, and we identified a transcriptional signature in the extended amygdala that was also present in animals abstinent from nicotine, i9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and alcohol. Here we examined whether protracted abstinence to these 4 drugs would also share common behavioral features, and eventually differ from abstinence to the prototypic psychostimulant cocaine. We found similar reduced social recognition, increased motor stereotypies, and increased anxiety with relevant c-fos response alterations in morphine, nicotine, THC and alcohol abstinent mice. Protracted abstinence to cocaine, however, led to strikingly distinct, mostly opposing adaptations at all levels, including behavioral responses, neuronal activation and gene expression. Together, these data further document the existence of common hallmarks for protracted abstinence to opiates, nicotine, THC and alcohol that develop within motivation/emotion brain circuits. In our model however, these do not apply to cocaine, supporting the notion of unique mechanisms in psychostimulant abuse.

“…Hostility and low social support are associated with worse lifestyle behaviors, including smoking, poor diet, obesity, and alcoholism (Bernstein et al 2014;Stickley et al 2014). It has been reported that hostile individuals may also manifest diminished vagal modulation of heart function and increased platelet reactivity, while low social support is associated with activation of the autonomic nervous system (Rozanskiet al 1999).…”

“…Hostility has been pointed out as an explanatory variable of aggressive, antisocial and deliquescent behaviors (Ansell, et al, 2015;Birkley & Eckhardt, 2015;Helfritz-Sinville & Stanford, 2014;Cavalcanti & Pimentel, 2016); as well as a risk factor for the health and the psychological well-being of people (Assari, 2017;Perk et al, 2012;Rafanelli et al, 2016;Fischer et al, 2015;Stoney, 2013), being, therefore, a construct of considerable interest in psychology. About it, some of the correlates of hostility found in the literature are: depression (Fischer et al, 2015); cardiovascular disease (Perk et al, 2012); Internet addiction in adolescents (Ko et al, 2014), cigarette (Bernstein et al, 2014) and drugs use (Ansell et al, 2015), aggressive behavior (Cavalcanti & Pimentel, 2016) and partner violence (Birkley & Eckhardt, 2015).…”

Psychometric parameters of the subscale of hostility from the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90)

2019

The present study aimed to know the psychometric parameters of the SCL-90 hostility scale. For this, two studies were traced; In Study 1, 209 students, mean age 16 years (SD = 1.29), who responded to the Scale of Hostility and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The exploratory factorial analysis indicated a unidimensional structure, whose Cronbach’s alpha was.71. In Study 2, we sought to find additional evidence of validity and reliability counting with 212 students with a mean age of 16 years (SD = 1.19). The confirmatory factorial analysis tested the unifactorial structure and pointed to good adjustment indexes; good internal consistency and composite reliability were also observed. In general, the Scale of Hostility provided evidence of satisfactory validity and reliability.

Hostility and Cigarette Use: A Comparison Between Smokers and Nonsmokers in a Matched Sample of Adolescents

Abstract: We examined the association between hostility-a personality trait reflective of negativity and cynicism toward others-and smoking in adolescents by measuring (a) several subcomponents of hostility, and (b) facial emotion processing ability, which has been previously linked to hostility.
