“…In addition, our findings are consistent with the results obtained from another of our smoking cessation studies. Among a different sample of smokers, we found that higher BIS scores were associated with higher NA scores and lower PA scores at the baseline before they quit smoking (Cui et al, 2015). These data collectively suggest that smokers who have the tendency to avoid aversive stimuli generally experience more NA and less PA.…”

The personality traits of harm avoidance (HA), novelty seeking (NS), and reward dependence (RD), as measured by the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), have been linked to smoking behavior. The extent to which these traits are associated with smoking withdrawal and cessation outcome is unclear. We sought to address this question among 131 treatment-seeking smokers who were randomly assigned to either a smoking cessation treatment (four 30-min behavioral counseling sessions) or a control condition. We found that HA was positively associated with baseline depressive symptoms, baseline negative affect, and post-quit withdrawal, and negatively associated with positive affect at both baseline and post-quit. Additionally, we found that smokers with higher HA scores were more likely to be abstinent. NS was negatively associated with post-quit positive affect and positively associated with post-quit negative affect and withdrawal. RD was not found to be related to any outcome measures. Our findings suggest that, despite experiencing greater baseline and post-quit negative affect, smokers higher in trait harm avoidance are more likely to quit smoking. The treatment and theoretical ramifications of these findings are discussed.

“…Similarly, the NEO-PI-R impulsiveness facet was included as a measure of impulsivity but also included in averages of multiple neuroticism facets that assessed either neuroticism in general or volatility in particular. Congruently, the impulsiveness facet has been associated with both impulsivity and neuroticism/volatility (DeYoung et al, 2007;Whiteside & Lynam, 2001 Cui et al, 2015). This criterion also led to the exclusion of a study conducted with prison inmates that were convicted for violent crimes (Keune et al, 2012 & Miller, 2008) were included in the main analyses but exploratively excluded in sensitivity analyses.…”

Resting Frontal Eeg Asymmetry and Personality Traits: A Meta–Analysis

2019

Frontal asymmetry has been widely used as a marker of emotion, motivation, and psychopathology. When assessed during the resting state, it is regarded as an index of trait approach and withdrawal motivation. However, the replicability of these associations with personality is currently unclear. The present meta-analysis seeks to provide a comprehensive quantitative review of the relationship between personality traits and resting electroencephalographic (EEG) frontal asymmetry. We distinguished five personality clusters: extraversion, neuroticism, impulsivity, anger, and defensiveness. Data from 79 independent samples with overall 5700 participants were included in the metaanalysis. The results revealed that less than 0.4% of the variance in extraversion and neuroticism could be explained by resting frontal asymmetry. Similarly, a small effect was observed for trait anger, and a small-sized to medium-sized effect was observed for defensiveness, although the number of studies was very low. No significant effect emerged for impulsivity. The effects were further reduced after adjustment for publication bias. Given some evidence for heterogeneity, sub-traits were analysed, and methodological moderators were investigated. Based on the results, we conclude that the validity of resting frontal asymmetry as a marker for personality is not supported. Finally, recommendations are given to increase the replicability of frontal asymmetry research.

“…Not surprisingly, it has been suggested that BIS/BAS sensitivity is associated with pathological behavioral engagement, which is addiction [ 25 , 26 ]. Indeed, BIS/BAS have been known to increase one’s vulnerability to addictive behaviors towards substances [ 27 ], pathological gambling [ 28 , 29 ], and the Internet [ 24 ]. In terms of smartphone addiction, a growing body of literature reported the high BIS and/or BAS sensitivity predispose to high engagement in smartphone and mobile use.…”

“…In other studies, BAS significantly predicted 47% of mobile addiction [ 24 ] and mediated the relationship between psychiatric comorbidity and problematic smartphone use [ 25 ]. As numerous studies also suggested the individual differences in underlying motives for using SNS, indicating the possible relationship among BIS/BAS and SNS usage, e.g., [ 26 , 27 ], BIS/BAS can be considered as potential variables, which may predict smartphone addiction in the sample of smartphone-based SNS users.…”

Given that Social Networking Service (SNS) has emerged as the most influential platform, which can lead users to addictive smartphone use, it is necessary to investigate which psychological variables lead smartphone-based SNS users to addictive smartphone use. Still, studies on the relationship between psychological variables and addictive smartphone use among smartphone-based SNS users remain to be explored. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of psychological factors on smartphone addiction proneness (SAP). A total of 433 smartphone-based SNS users were collected from 5003 adults in Korea. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and path analysis using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 23.0. The results of a parallel-mediation path analysis demonstrated that Behavioral Inhibition (BIS), Behavioral activation (BAS) drive, anxiety, and low self-control directly influenced SAP, separately. BIS and BAS _drive also had significant indirect effects on SAP through the effect of anxiety. BIS and BAS_fun had significant indirect effects on SAP through the effect of low self-control. The study variables accounted for 38.4 of the total variances of SAP. Thus, when establishing interventions to reduce the users’ addictive smartphone use, these interactive relationships of the variables should be considered.
