“…One of them 8 compared TCI personality profile of 13 social phobia patients to normal volunteers, reporting increased avoidant and introverted temperament (HA) traits. Accordingly, Pélissolo et al 9 also reported higher HA scores and lower P, SD, C and ST scores in 31 subjects with social phobia, also suggesting an anxious and avoidant temperament and an immature character. Kim and Hoover 10 also found a significant HA increase in 47 patients with social phobia compared to the control group.…”

Background: The symptoms of personality disorders (Axis II) commonly found in social phobia patients overlap highly with the symptoms that typify the Axis I disorder and are thus linked to diagnostic process in symptomatic patients. Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate personality traits of social phobia patients. Method: One hundred and eight subjects were selected, from 18 to 65 years of age, who fulfilled the criteria of social phobia. The Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) was applied. Results: The social phobia patients differed in normalized data in the following personality traits: Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, Persistence, Self Directedness, and Self-Transcendence. Discussion: These findings point to a high overlap between Cloninger's description of the observed predominant personality traits and DSM-IV Axis I symptoms description for social phobia.

“…This combination (higher harm avoidance and lower self-directedness) also characterizes the differences between anxiety disorder patients and healthy individuals (Lyoo et al, 2001;Ball et al, 2002;Pélissolo et al, 2002), therefore suggesting that the presence of anxiety explains more this combination than a bipolar component. Alternatively, if a principal component of bipolar disorder entails anxiety, then the similar profile could equally reflect an intrinsic biological characteristic that is common to anxiety and bipolar disorders.…”

“…Alcoholic patients have significantly higher novelty seeking scores and lower self-directedness scores compared to healthy individuals (Basiaux et al, 2001;Le Bon et al, 2004) and higher novelty seeking is associated with poly-substance abuse in drug addicts (Conway et al, 2003). Patients with anxiety disorders have higher scores on harm avoidance and lower scores on novelty seeking and selfdirectedness compared with healthy individuals (Lyoo et al, 2001;Ball et al, 2002;Pélissolo et al, 2002).…”

Temperament and character traits may determine differences in clinical presentations and outcome of bipolar disorder. We compared personality traits in bipolar patients and healthy individuals using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and sought to verify whether comorbidity with alcoholism or anxiety disorders is associated with specific personality traits. Seventy three DSM-IV bipolar patients were compared to 63 healthy individuals using the TCI. In a second step, the bipolar sample was subgrouped according to the presence of psychiatric comorbidity (alcoholism, n = 10; anxiety disorders; n = 23; alcoholism plus anxiety disorders, n = 21; no comorbidity, n = 19). Bipolar patients scored statistically higher than the healthy individuals on novelty seeking, harm avoidance and self-transcendence and lower on self-directedness and cooperativeness. Bipolar patients with only comorbid alcoholism scored statistically lower than bipolar patients without any comorbidity on persistence. Bipolar patients with only comorbid anxiety disorders scored statistically higher on harm avoidance and lower on self-directedness than bipolar patients without any comorbidity. Limitations of this study include the cross-sectional design and the small sample size, specifically Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

However, our results suggest that bipolar patients exhibit a different personality structure than healthy individuals and that presence of psychiatric comorbidity in bipolar disorder is associated with specific personality traits. These findings suggest that personality, at least to some extent, mediates the comorbidity phenomena in bipolar disorder.

Background: The aims of the present study were to explore whether symptoms in different anxiety disorders are associated with Cloninger's model temperament dimensions novelty seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA), reward dependence and persistence compared with control subjects in clinical samples of adults or late adolescents. Method: Literature search in the following databases: Cochrane Library, PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, Psycinfo and PsycArticles. Systematic review, grading the level of evidence and meta-analysis for each disorder by comparing the temperament dimension scores between patient and control samples in single studies. Results: A total of 40 papers fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses were conducted on a total of 24 studies focusing on panic disorder (PD), social anxiety disorder (SAD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The primary finding was a constant and clinically marked positive association between the HA temperament dimension and symptoms of PD, SAD and OCD, with a most marked effect in SAD, and a moderate effect in OCD and PD. Second, less marked and clinically marginal associations between NS score and SAD and OCD (negative associations), but no associations with PD were observed. The meta-analyses revealed heterogeneity between the results of individual studies, especially in the analyses including SAD and OCD. Conclusions: PD, SAD and OCD share a marked and state-dependent avoidant behavioral pattern, which is common for all anxiety disorders. However, PD showed a different pattern of arousal to novel stimuli from that of SAD and OCD. The findings are state dependent and based on cross-sectional studies.
