“…Individual personality traits are an oft-cited risk-factor for a variety of alcohol consumption behaviours (Bozkurt et al, 2014), with impulsivity being one of the most commonly identified traits associated with alcohol use (Bø, Billieux, & Inge, 2016;Coskunpinar, Dir, & Cyders, 2013;Courtney et al, 2012). The concept of impulsivity is often used interchangeably with risk-taking behaviour, and although there does appear to be some overlap between the two (Meda et al, 2009), they are arguably not synonymous constructs (Stamates & Lau-Barraco, 2017).…”

“…Student actors have been shown to be high on this personality factor (Nettle, 2006), and O is associated with self-esteem, autonomy, and subjective wellbeing (Peterson & Seligman). Impulsivity is of concern in populations who appear to have a problematic relationship with alcohol (Bozkurt et al, 2014), as is apparent in this sample of actors.

“…Of note, however, novelty-seeking (a correlate of curiosity) may be linked with impulsivity (Peterson & Seligman). Impulsivity is of concern in populations who appear to have a problematic relationship with alcohol (Bozkurt et al, 2014), as is apparent in this sample of actors. The current study adds evidence that actors may be high on the personal growth indicator of wellbeing, and future research could extend this work through quantitative explorations of personality traits in actors.…”

Objective:The objective of the current study was to explore what factors might impact the psychological wellbeing of adult, Australian professional actors. Method: Twenty South Australian actors were recruited using purposive and snowball sampling. Ten were male and 10 female, ranging in age from 22 to 66 years old, with self-reported professional experience ranging from 1 to 50 years. The participants were interviewed indepth about their experiences of being an actor, with a particular focus on wellbeing, and the data were analysed using thematic analysis, with numerous checks in place for methodological rigour. Results: Two broad categories of themes were established; environmental and personal factors. Environmental factors included power, lifestyle, fringe-dwelling, engagement, the tribe, and taking care of yourself. Personal factors included pursuit, strengths, the calling, precariousness and looking within. Conclusions: Themes were considered in terms of contemporary wellbeing theory, along with clinical implications relating to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM5). Findings included: actors experience a range of threats to wellbeing, such as problems with autonomy, lack of environmental mastery, complex interpersonal relationships and high self-criticism. Factors facilitating wellbeing include ongoing personal growth and a sense of purpose. The findings also suggest that actors are vulnerable to depression, generalised anxiety symptoms, vicarious trauma, and perfectionism. What is already known on this topic?1 Research about psychological wellbeing in the performing arts has, historically, been centred on music and dance. In particular, there is a growing evidence base relating to musicians' performance anxiety and the body image of dancers. 2 Studies on actors' wellbeing have been sparse, with limited data, but include evidence of: exposure to criticism, personality fluidity, performance anxiety, unresolved trauma, joy and satisfaction, and self-criticism. A new study in conjunction with Actors' Equity suggests vulnerability to mental health problems. 3 Editorial and narrative evidence related to actors' wellbeing suggests further factors of interest: resilience, employment instability, depression, alcohol and substance use, disordered eating, low help-seeking, and trauma.What this paper adds 1 An account of the experiences of professional Australian actors, divided into environmental and personal factors. 2 Discussion of actors' experiences in relation to contemporary wellbeing theory and the DSM5. 3 Key areas of interest to researchers and clinicians working with actors, including: anxiety, depression, vicarious trauma, perfectionism, alcohol use, loneliness, low help-seeking, and identity issues.

“…Taking into consideration the strong associations of novelty seeking with impulsiveness, proved in the case of alcoholics (Bozkurt et al, 2014), that dimension, perhaps, is more connected with the behavioural aspect of relapses (for example, the discontinuation of abstinence in the situation of a high level of risk), and not the cognitive one (declaration of abstaining from alcohol). That also requires verification in further research.…”

“…It is worth pointing out that, in recent years, several such studies have been undertaken: among others, associations between temperament and character with the application of defence mechanisms in the case of alcoholics (Evren et al, 2013), the occurrence of a situation of a high risk of the discontinuation of abstinence (Chodkiewicz, Ziółkowski, & Czarnecki, 2014), the quality of life in the case of addicted individuals (Evren, Dalbudak, Durkaya, Cetin, & Evren, 2010), and the relationships of personality with another recognized factor increasing the risk of relapse, i.e. impulsiveness (Bozkurt et al, 2014), have been analyzed.…”

backgroundThe results of numerous studies indicate strong associations of personality with the occurrence, and also with the treatment, of alcohol dependence. However, there is no agreement regarding the role of particular dimensions of temperament and character in the course of, and for the results of, alcohol rehabilitation therapy. The objective of the present research was to investigate the relationships between the dimensions of temperament and character as they are presented by Robert Cloninger and motivation for maintaining abstinence in the case of male alcohol-dependent individuals concluding the therapy. participants and procedureEighty-nine male alcohol-dependent individuals, concluding alcohol rehabilitation therapy in an outpatient setting, were studied. The following research tools were applied: the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) of R. Cloninger in the Polish adaptation of E. Hornowska (2003), and the Motivation for Maintaining Abstinence Inventory, the author of which is M. Ziółkowski. resultsTwo clusters, differing in the aspect of motivation for maintaining abstinence after the conclusion of the treatment, were distinguished: of individuals manifesting weaker motivation (n = 39) and those manifesting stronger motivation (n = 50). The patients with stronger motivation manifested the following major features: a lower level of harm avoidance, a higher level of reward dependence, and a higher level of cooperativeness.conclusions Personality as it is presented by Cloninger manifests connections with motivation for maintaining abstinence. The research confirms the need for diagnosing addicted patients in the scope of temperament and character traits. key words alcohol dependence; motivation for maintaining abstinence; temperament and character in accordance with Cloninger, the TCI

Relationships of personality dimensions with impulsivity in alcohol-dependent inpatient men

Abstract: RESULTS may suggest that together with depression when impulsivity is the problem, both dimensions of impulsivity and personality must be evaluated and the treatment should be shaped accordingly for alcohol-dependent inpatients.
