“…It was found that high conscientiousness may have an effect on this association [39]. For example, in one study women at high risk for breast cancer with high conscientiousness performed the mammography test despite their high level of anxiety, compared to women with low conscientiousness scores, who did not perform the examination [40].…”

“…Inactive drinkers' level of competence, sense of duty, self-discipline and ability to think before acting increases with time. While previous studies have generally focused on shorter lengths of abstinence (Martin & Sher, 1994;McCormick et al, 1998;Repetti et al, 2002;Bottlender & Soyka, 2004), ours differed in that it examined long-term abstinent subjects (2 years or more) and revealed a marked improvement in specific domains over time. Indeed, these results are quite encouraging for alcoholic patients, who may aspire to greater quality of life through long-term abstinence.…”

“…In the same vein, low "conscientiousness" scores (determination) were reported in patients who had abstained from alcohol for short periods (6 months to 1 year; Coëffec, Romo, & Strika, 2009;Martin & Sher, 1994;McCormick et al, 1998;Repetti et al, 2002). These data originally resulted from cross-sectional studies on alcoholic patients, and were later confirmed in a longitudinal study with a 6-month to 12-month follow-up (Bottlender & Soyka, 2004).…”

Many studies have examined the risk factors for relapse in alcohol-dependent patients within the first year of treatment, and have generally focused on two personality dimensions: emotional instability and difficulty in establishing relationships. In this study, we examine if these weaknesses remain in prolonged alcohol abstinence. To do so, we administer the NEO PI-R to two groups of subjects. Group 1, Inactive Drinkers (ID), consists of 51 patients with at least two years of abstinence (average length of abstinence for this group is 6.2 years); Group 2, Recently Detoxified Drinkers (RDD), comprises 93 patients who have recently ceased consuming alcohol. Based on NEO PI-R scores, our results evidence that inactive drinkers experience significant reduction in emotional instability and improvement in relationships to others. We further observe that, with long-term abstinence, these personality dimensions normalize, ceasing to be risk factors for relapse. Additionally, we find that this long-term amelioration of traits altered by alcohol amounts to an improved behavioral adaptation to life events rather than an actual change in personality.

“…Twin studies have determined that over 50% of the variance on scores of neuroticism is accounted for by genetics [42]. Substance abusers, as a group, report high levels of emotional instability [43,44]. Longitudinal studies are scarce but at least one study suggests that heightened neuroticism predates first substance use [45].…”

Emotion concepts in models of substance abuse

Research and theoretical perspectives of substance abuse are reviewed from an emotion theory perspective. Emotion permeates many important concepts in substance abuse research, such as trait anxiety, disinhibition, environmental cue reactivity, cognitive and mood regulation and behavioral motivation. Emotion theory and research may help integrate findings central to substance abuse such as predicting onset of use and describing end-state dysfunction. Increased incorporation of emotion concepts and measures in substance abuse research will increase the ecological validity of future research and provide more sophisticated understandings of substance abuse behavior.
