“…However, it is possible that adult traumas reported on the LTS were experienced as a result of addiction, such as causing a car accident while driving under the influence or contracting a serious illness from sharing needles. There is extensive evidence that substance abusers rate highly on psychological and behavioral indicators of impulsivity (Amlung, Vedelago, Acker, Balodis, & Mackillop, 2016;De Wit, 2008;Ersche, Turton, Pradhan, Bullmore, & Robbins, 2010;Johnson, Robert, Corrigan, & West, 1993). Furthermore, repeated opioid use has shown to alter neural stress pathways, making one more emotionally reactive to adverse events (Valverde & Maldonado, 2005;Zhou, Proudnikov, Yuferov, & Kreek, 2010).…”

Examining Perceived Stress, Childhood Trauma and Interpersonal Trauma in Individuals With Drug Addiction

The investigation of psychosocial factors in relation to opiate addiction is limited and typically uses binary measures to assess how incidences of childhood trauma correlate with addiction. There has also been a lack of enquiry into how experiences of noninterpersonal versus interpersonal trauma may impact drug use addiction. In this regard, the current study utilized a novel measurement of interpersonal versus noninterpersonal lifetime trauma and a scale assessing severity of childhood trauma to examine how these factors may impact patients with opioid addiction. The interaction between these factors and current perceived stress was also examined. Thirty-six opioid-dependent individuals (recruited from the Drug Health Services and Opioid Treatment Program at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia) and 33 healthy controls completed the Childhood Maltreatment Questionnaire, Lifetime Trauma Survey, and Perceived Levels of Stress Scale. The patient group reported significantly greater childhood trauma severity, more incidences of lifetime trauma, and higher perceived stress than controls. Logistic regression analyses indicated that the severity of childhood trauma was more strongly associated with addiction status than perceived stress. A greater number of lifetime trauma incidence was the best predictor of addiction. Contrary to expectations, noninterpersonal lifetime trauma was a better predictor of addiction status than was interpersonal lifetime trauma. Results suggest that lifetime trauma and childhood trauma may play an important factor in opioid addiction over what can be accounted for by stress.

“…Consequently, more impulsive smokers may derive particular benefit from cessation programs that focus on negative affect. Serotonergic antidepressant agents may also be effective cessation aids for impulsive smokers, given that they may reduce impulsivity (Johnson, Malow, Corrigan, & West, 1993) as well as negative affect.…”

In the present study, the authors tested the hypothesis that nicotine would provide greater relief from negative affect for more impulsive smokers than for less impulsive smokers. Euthymic adult smokers (N ϭ 70) participated in 2 laboratory sessions, during which they underwent a negative mood induction (music ϩ autobiographical memory), then smoked either a nicotinized or de-nicotinized cigarette. Mixed-effects regression yielded a significant Impulsivity ϫ Condition (nicotinized vs. de-nicotinized) ϫ Time interaction. Simple effects analyses showed that heightened impulsivity predicted greater negative affect relief after smoking a nicotinized cigarette but not after smoking a de-nicotinized cigarette. These data suggest that nicotine may be a disproportionately powerful negative reinforcer for highly impulsive smokers, promoting higher levels of nicotine dependence and inhibiting smoking cessation.

“…; DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1994) includes an exclusive category of impulse control disorders, and impulsiveness is a diagnostic criterion for several other common DSM-IV disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, borderline personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. Individuals suffering from substance abuse disorders, bulimia, bipolar depression, and some forms of psychotic disorder have also been described as impulsive (Coles, 1997; Hucker, 1997;Johnson, Malow, Corrigan, & West, 1993).Although impulsive behavior has been widely studied within the behavioral and biological sciences, there is little consensus on a precise operational definition, and theoretical and etiological models have varied considerably (Milich &…”

Impulsivity has been operationalized as a choice of an immediate smaller reward over a larger delayed or uncertain reward. This study examined a procedure that measures reward preference under these contingencies in psychiatric outpatients considered either at a high or low risk for engaging in impulsive behavior depending on their psychiatric diagnoses. The participants' rates of delay and uncertainty reward discounting were compared with their performances on a behavioral inhibition task and responses on a self-report personality impulsivity measure. The high-risk participants discounted delayed rewards more sharply and scored higher on the self-report impulsivity measure relative to the low-risk participants. Delay and uncertainty discounting were modestly correlated, but no other relationships were found between the other measures. Results from this study indicate that delay-discounting tasks may be sensitive to at least one form of impulsive behavior.
