“…One study of Spanish adolescents tested at age 10-11 and followed up at age 18 found JEPQ psychoticism to be the personality dimension that best predicts smoking and nicotine dependence (32). The association between psychoticism and smoking may be mediated by either the serotonergic system (33,34) or the dopamine system (35).…”

This review describes how measures of a prominent threedimensional hierarchical model of personality traits relate to substance use. H. J. Eysenck proposed a biologically based model of personality that gave rise to related models such as those of J. A. Gray, C. R. Cloninger, and M. Zuckerman. The varying role of impulsivity-a trait related to disinhibition, approach motivation, novelty seeking, and sensation seeking-in successive self-report measures of this model, including the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ),

This paper investigates the determinants of smoking among middle- and high-school students in Ankara, Turkey. Data were collected from 4800 students in the second semester of the 1997-98 academic year to investigate substance use prevalence among young people. In addition to classical independent variables, factors which are not frequently used in the literature--such as school type, neighborhood, family religiosity, and factors reflecting the cultural background of the students--are included in the analysis. The results of binomial logistic regression offer evidence for the effects of school type, a smoking-related attitude, presence of a stepmother, father's use of alcohol, sister and brother who smoke, student's alcohol use, and participation in art activities.

“…For decades, many personality theories have emphasized how traits influence affective experiences throughout one's lifespan (Ekman, 1984;Izard, 1977;Malatesta & Wilson, 1988;Plutchik, 1980;Tellegen, 1985;Tomkins & McCarter, 1964). Although research has yet to identify which personality characteristic best predicts tobacco use, studies have shown that neuroticism, extraversion, and psychoticism each exert some influence on tobacco use (Canals, Blade, & Domenech, 1997;Eysenck, Tarrant, Woolf, & England, 1960;Gilbert & Gilbert, 1995;Pritchard & Kay, 1993;Spielberger & Jacobs, 1982). For example, studies have shown that, among cigarette smokers, neuroticism was an important predictor of craving following the pharmacological manipulation of the dopamine system (Reuter & Netter, 2001).…”

Many clinicians and researchers hypothesize that tobacco use disorders, regardless of the route of administration, are maintained by the ability of nicotine to regulate positive and negative mood states. The present study (N~137) examined whether certain mood states predicted dependence on either cigarettes or smokeless tobacco and whether specific personality characteristics (e.g., extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism) mediated these relationships among young male college students. Results indicated that positive and negative moods predicted cigarette dependence (p values~.01) and that neuroticism partially mediated the relationship between positive affect and cigarette dependence. Exploratory analyses revealed that positive affect also interacted with neuroticism to predict smokeless tobacco dependence (p~.04). Simple effects analyses revealed that this relationship was maintained only among individuals high in neuroticism. Results suggested that dependence on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco among male college students may have different affective correlates and that certain personality characteristics may enhance and explain the effects of mood on tobacco dependence.
