“…Therefore, high sensation seekers seek out activities that provide greater arousal and they expect that they will experience less anxiety than low sensation seekers if they were in risky situations [25]. This study is consistent with a previous study that showed sensation seeking was significantly related with risk behavior such as drug use [5].…”

(² = 125.55, p < .001), current educational year (² = 29.75, p < .001), living arrangement (² = 11.47, p < .01), Sensation seeking (² = 40.81, p < .001), depression (² = 50.81, p < .001), p < .01), family history of drug use (² = 196.58, p < .001), and peer drug use (² = 85.63, p < .001) IntroductionUnited Nation Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) has estimated that in 2010 between 153 million and 300 million people aged 15-64 (3.4-6.6 % of the world's population in that age group) had used an illicit substance (harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive drugs) at least once in the previous year [22]. In Indonesia, the prevalence of drug use were increased about 0.21% from 1.99 % or about 3.3 million people in 2008 to 2.2 % or about 3.8 million people in 2011 of the total population (aged 10-60 year old) [14]. Aceh is one of Indonesia province with the higher risk of substance behavior. Aceh was the first rank of marijuana land evidence in Indonesia. The survey of 10 universities in Aceh revealed that the students in eight of ten universities were positively engage in drug user [12]. Despite, government and BNN of Aceh had sought strategies against drugs use in Aceh; these cases have increased in three years . There has been a significant increasing in specific drug use involving, in particular tobacco products, methamphetamine, and marijuana [11]. Consequently, there were health's effects of the increasing drug use prevalence.From the perspective of adverse effects, drug use was ranked at 20 th world as the cause of mortality and it was ranked at the 10 th in the developing countries, including Indonesia. UNODC (2012) stated that there were between 99,000 and 253,000 deaths of drug user globally in 2010, with drug-related deaths accounting for between 0.5 and 1.3 % of all-cause mortality among aged 15-64 [21]. Not only adults were attacked by these health consequences of drug use, but currently adolescents are at high risk of these issues.One of factors that can influence drug use behavior is intrapersonal factors. Previous studies identified that intrapersonal factors (sensation seeking, depression, and self-esteem) were affected drug use behavior. These factors found were associated with drug use [15], [8]. In another hand a study showed these factors were not significantly associated with drug use [20]. Another, factor that can influence drug use behavior was interpersonal/ social factors, including family history of drug use and peer drug use. These factors influence an important role in shaping of drug use attitudes and behaviors among adolescents. According to literature review, those factors affecting drug use behavior in adolescent [4], [15], [8].The theory of triadic influence (TTI) [16] is used as a guiding theoretical framework for this study. Briefly, the TTI is a metatheory that integrates several theories of health related behavior. It was initially developed to explain adolescent substance-use behaviors. The theory provides for a comprehensive, integrative analysis of social situation, cu...

“…More precisely, this particular disposition can be divided into four dimensions: (a) desire to get involved in sports or risky activities that offer unusual experiences (Thrill and Adventure Seeking); (b) seeking out novel experiences and sensations through mind and senses (Experience Seeking); (c) seeking sensation through social activities (Disinhibition); (d) intolerance for repetitive experiences of any kind (Boredom Susceptibility). Sensation seekers frequently engaged in risky but socially approved activities or sports (Hansen & Breivik, 2001) and in pro-social risks such as being a fireman or body-guard (Gomà-i-Freixanet, 1995). Risk-taking is not a necessary requisite for sensation seekers: however, the probability for being at risk is increased, when impulsivity is combined with sensation seeking.…”

The present thesis explores factors and processes associated with the artistic profession and development of opera singers. The profession of opera singers has a long story deriving its origin in early 1600s in Italy. What is performed on opera stages today is written in the musical scores in the 18 th and 19th century. The question arises how the modern opera singers live, learn and excel in their contemporary pursuit in order to meet the high demands on performance. The initial study identified health issues related to the professional activity of opera singers. Qualitative and quantitative measurements indicated that psychological problems were associated with a distinct worry for possible negative evaluation from significant others and a fear of vocal indisposition. A range of healthpromoting activities was demonstrated aiming at preventing the occurrence of somatic problems that could cause vocal indisposition. Psychosocial problems concerned difficulties to maintain a family life and relations due to irregular working hours. In Study II, the psychological and physiological effects of singing lessons were investigated with respect to amateur and professional levels of singing experiences. Amateur singers experienced more well-being measured by self-reports of emotional states and by lower levels of stress hormones than professionals. In Study III, narrative accounts were collected to identify factors and processes in the artistic development during higher opera education. A descriptive model was created that embraced the development of various skills such as singing technique, means of expressiveness and interpersonal skills. Outcome variables from the education were artistic autonomy, artistic competence and change in self-concept. In Study IV, personality characteristics were assessed among elite students in opera and business education representing an artistic versus a traditional educational streaming. Female opera students, female business and male business students shared the personality characteristic of extraversion indicating a disposition towards sensation seeking. Male opera singers exhibited a profile of elevated levels of emotionality. In general, the findings across the studies demonstrate that the individual development of operatic artistry is a complex process where health-related issues, personality characteristics, skills acquisition and sociocultural values are critical constituents. A major result was the marked focus on the instrument per se, the voice. Vocal functioning in singing was described as a means of enabling operatic singing, a mode for artistic expression and indicator of health.

“…L'impulsivité est un concept clé dans la compréhension de plusieurs états psychopathologiques (Luengo, Carrillo-de-laPeña, Otero et Romero, 1994 ;Vitaro, Arseneault et Tremblay, 1999) et comportements à risque qui apparaissent à l'adolescence (Hansen et Breivik, 2001). Selon le modèle des traits impulsifs de la personnalité de Whiteside et Lynam (2001) développé dans le cadre théorique du modèle des cinq grands facteurs de la personnalité (Five Factor Model of personality ; FFM), il existe quatre grandes dimensions de l'impulsivité pouvant être mesurées par l'UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale.…”

Les jeunes de la rue présentent des comportements à risque liés à la consommation et à des comportements sexuels ayant des implications majeures sur leur santé et leur sécurité. En plus des problèmes de santé mentale, les traits impulsifs de la personnalité peuvent être un facteur de risque important par rapport à plusieurs de ces comportements problématiques.La présente étude visait d’abord à dresser un portrait des jeunes de la rue, puis à vérifier la valeur de prédiction des traits impulsifs de la personnalité sur les comportements à risque au-delà des problèmes de santé mentale. 31 jeunes de la rue ont été soumis à l’UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale mesurant cinq dimensions de l’impulsivité, ainsi qu’à d’autres instruments mesurant les problèmes de santé mentale (IBS), la consommation d’alcool et de drogues (DÉBA-Alcool/Drogues) et les comportements sexuels à risque (RBS).Les jeunes de la rue rapportent plusieurs problèmes significatifs de santé mentale, plusieurs problématiques liées à la consommation d’alcool et de drogues, ainsi que plusieurs comportements sexuels à risque. Concernant la valeur de prédiction des traits impulsifs de la personnalité, les analyses de régression démontrent que l’Urgence positive contribue de manière unique à prédiction de la dépendance et des conséquences négatives associées à la consommation d’alcool alors que la Recherche de sensations n’est pas associée de manière significative à aucun des comportements à risque. De plus, seul le manque de Persévérance contribue de manière unique à la prédiction des conséquences négatives associées à la consommation de drogues, alors que seul le manque de Préméditation est associé significativement à la quantité d’alcool consommée. Ces résultats démontrent l’importance d’évaluer et d’intervenir sur les traits impulsifs de la personnalité de manière à augmenter l’efficacité des interventions de prévention des comportements à risque chez les jeunes de la rue.Substance use and unsafe sex are dangerous behaviors that greatly impact street youths’ health and security. In addition to mental health issues, impulsive personality traits can be a significant risk factor to several of these problem behaviors.The primary objective of this study was to draw a portrait of street youth, and then verify the predictive value of impulsive personality traits on risky behaviors over and above mental health issues. Thirty-one street youth answered the UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale, which measures five dimensions of impulsivity, and other instruments which measure mental health problems (BSI), alcohol and drug use (ASAN-Alcohol/Drugs) and risky sexual behaviors (RBS).Street youth mention various significant mental health issues, multiple alcohol and drug-related problems, as well as numerous risky sexual behaviors. As for the predictive value of impulsive personality traits, regression analyses show positive Urgency as the best unique predictor of alcohol dependence and negative consequences related to it, while Sensation seeking is not significantly related to...
