“…High conscientiousness was associated with healthy behaviours, such as eating more fruits and vegetables, sleeping enough hours, and using the seat belt, whereas a high score in extraversion was associated with tobacco and alcohol consumption. Previous studies also showed an association between extraversion and increased consumption of tobacco and alcohol 35,36 .…”

Several studies have shown an association between personality and health status. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between personality traits, parental education and health-related lifestyles in a cohort of Spanish adolescents. this is a longitudinal study with a source population of 1,123 third-year students (aged 14-15) in secondary schools in Spain. At the baseline evaluation sociodemographic variables, parental education and personality (Big Five Questionnaire for Children) were collected. At 18 months of follow-up health related lifestyles, including adherence to a healthy diet (KidMed index), tobacco and alcohol consumption, physical exercise, sleep problems and recreative screen and social network time were collected. A total of 824 adolescents (73.4%) completed the 18 months assessment and 695 (84.3%) presented valid data. Higher conscientiousness was associated to a lower risk for non-adherence to Mediterranean diet (OR = 0.7, 95% CIs=0.5-0.9), tobacco (OR = 0.5, 95% CIs=0.3-0.7) and alcohol consumption (OR = 0.6, 95% CIs=0.5-0.8), excessive use of screens (OR = 0.7, 95% CIs=0.5-0.9) and social network sites (OR = 0.7, 95% CIs=0.5-0.8). Higher levels of extraversion was significantly related to a lower risk of physical inactivity (OR = 0.7, 95% CIs=0.6-0.9), but they are at a higher risk of low adherence to Mediterranean diet (OR = 1.3, 95% CIs=1.0-1.7), tobacco (OR = 2.7, 95% CIs=1.7-4.3) and alcohol consumption (OR = 1.9, 95% CIs=1.5-2.4) and excessive use of social network sites (OR = 1.6, 95% CIs=1.3-1.9). High levels of emotional instability were associated with tobacco consumption (OR = 1.5, 95% CIs=1.0-2.2) and sleep problems (OR = 2.0, 95% CIs=1.5-2.7). Finally, we found an association with lower parental education and adolescents' low adherence to Mediterranean diet (OR = 1.6, 95% CIs=1.0-2.4) and sleep problems (OR = 1.8, 95% CIs=1.0-3.0). Cluster analysis of health-related behaviours indicated the presence of two different clusters (unhealthy and healthy adolescents) that were associated with personality traits. Conscientiousness, extraversion, emotional instability and parental education are independent factors associated with the acquisition of adolescent healthy lifestyles.

“…S-HTP has been applied to gain insights into participants' problems in smoking cessation counseling. Depressive symptoms and personality are predictors of cigarette smoking (Eory et al, 2015;Yanez, Leiva, Estela, & Cukic, 2017). Depressive symptoms consist of depressed moods, loss of interest, weight change, slow movement, fatigue, feeling of worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, and suicidal ideation (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).…”

This study aimed to examine correlations among the synthetic House-Tree-Person drawing, depressive symptoms, and personality. In this descriptive correlational study, 186 Korean adult participants completed the synthetic House-Tree-Person drawing test, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, and Patient Health Questionnaires-9. Persons with depression drew fewer two-dimensional body parts (p = .027) and rectangular primary walls (p = .011) compared with people without depression. Psychoticism was negatively correlated with two-dimensional house parts (r =-.21, p = .026) and active person (r =-.20, p = .027). Neuroticism and addiction were negatively correlated with two-dimensional tree (r =-.20, p = .030; r =-.20, p = .026). Impulsiveness was negatively correlated with central location of a house (r =-.20, p = .032) and additional decoration of a person (r =-.22, p = .019). Additional house decorations showed a negative correlation with empathy (r =-.22, p = .015) and a positive correlation with lie (r = .23, p = .013).

“…A parallel change model of alcohol use and tobacco smoking has not been examined in this way, nor with respect to sex as a key covariate along with other relevant predictors of course over time, such as personality traits, and physical health measures. Personality appears to play a key role in explaining tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking behavior in adolescence and young adulthood (Heinrich et al, 2016; Yóñez, Leiva, Estela, & Čukić, 2017). For example, higher levels of neuroticism and extraversion are associated with higher risk of initiating smoking or being a current smoker in early adolescence (Yáñez et al, 2017).…”

Tobacco and alcohol are often used in tandem over time, but specific predictors of course and patterns of course over time need explication. We examined differences in alcohol and tobacco course among an adolescent population as they transitioned into young adulthood across a 17-year period. Data came from participants (n = 303 for ages 15-21, n = 196 for ages 21 to 32; 52% female and 54% female, respectively) enrolled in the Amsterdam Growth and Health Longitudinal Study, an epidemiologic investigation examining disease across the life span. We utilized parallel latent growth modeling to assess the impact of sex, personality traits, cholesterol, blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI), on initial status and linear change over time in course of tobacco and alcohol. Females reported less alcohol use at adolescent baseline (β = -21.79), less increase during adolescence (β = -7.92, p < .05), slower decrease during young adulthood (β = 4.67, p < .05), and more rapid decline in tobacco use during young adulthood (β = -70.85, p < .05), relative to males. Alcohol and tobacco use baseline status' and change over time were all significantly associated with one another during both adolescence and young adulthood (p < .05; aside from alcohol baseline and slope during young adulthood). Effects of BMI, cholesterol, blood pressure, and personality traits were also observed on tobacco and alcohol course. In light of the strong, but sex dependent relationship between alcohol and tobacco course, particularly from ages 15 to 21, prevention efforts to curb heavy alcohol and tobacco use should consider targeting course taking into account biological sex and other notable covariates.
