“…Lower levels of persistence also are associated with a diagnosis of metamphetamine abuse (Hosak et al, 2004), but studies using the TCI found no association between alcohol abuse and persistence, in spite of findings of higher novelty seeking and lower self-directedness in alcoholic patients compared to healthy individuals (Basiaux et al, 2001;Le Bon et al, 2004). Persistence is related to the ability to persevere despite frustration and fatigue, and it is possible that bipolar patients with low persistence may have more difficulty in stopping alcohol use despite its adverse consequences.…”

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.

respectively). There was a negative correlation (protective factor) between the character dimension "self-directedness" and CDLQI score (r =-0.703). Conclusions: In this group of patients, we found a possible relationship between a specific temperament dimension, vitiligo and its impact on life quality (Rev Méd Chile 2009; 137: 53-62Su etiopatogenia ha sido estudiada exhaustivamente en las últimas décadas, sin embargo, aún existe poca claridad sobre ésta.

“…Novelty seeking is also higher in addicts than the general population (29)(30)(31) seekers are capricious, curious, impulsive, and chaotic individuals, who desperately look for new stimuli (18). The majority of these features, including high-risk behaviors, impulsivity, anti-social behaviors, substance use, and multiple sexual relations are also observed in the fast-life strategy (32).…”

Background: Although many risk factors have been proposed for the etiology of the addiction, little research has been conducted from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. The theory of life strategies (with respect to evolutionary causes) has led to a new understanding of addiction. While researchers have shown that Cloninger's bio-psychological model is one of the most important personality factors in the etiology of addiction, there is no research about the relationship between life strategy and the temperament-character component of addiction. The main objective of this study was to show the relationship between these two variables in individuals with opioid use disorder in comparison with the normal group. Methods: This correlational study included 96 participants with opioid use disorder selected by convenience sampling from the Iranian national center for addiction studies (INCAS) and 97 participants without any substance use disorder, who were matched to the opioid-use group. After administering the mini-form of Arizona life history battery (ALHB) and the temperament and character inventory (TCI), data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression. Results: Results showed a relationship between fast-life strategy and novelty seeking in the group with opioid use disorder and a positive relationship between slow-life strategy and co-operation in the control group. The regression analysis indicated that novelty seeking was able to predict fast-life strategy in the opioid use group and co-operation could predict slow-life strategy in the control group. Conclusions: Life strategy could be a new variable in understanding and planning addiction prevention programs.
