“…Although people with high self-directedness are described as mature, strong, self-sufficient, responsible, reliable, goal oriented, constructive, well-integrated, and effective, those with low self-directedness are considered to generally be immature, weak, fragile, blaming, destructive, ineffective, irresponsible, unreliable, and as lacking an internal organizational principle, rendering them unable to define, set, and pursue meaningful goals (Cloninger et al, 1993). Previous study findings indicate that low self-directedness has been associated with the prevalence of PDs (Cloninger et al, 1993;Gutierrez et al, 2002;Gutierrez et al, 2008), which, as described in the introduction, have been linked to impaired decision making (eg, Bazanis et al, 2002). However, Gutierrez et al (2002) found that 77% of patients with self-directedness scores less than 43 were diagnosed with a PD, in particular, BPD.…”

The decision-making impairments observed in opioid-dependent patients are influenced by current levels of anxiety and the personality markers trait anxiety and self-directedness. Differences in decision making between opioid-dependent and healthy individuals may also be due to differences in other personality facets, affective symptoms, and alcohol consumption. Amount of opioid and other substance intake did not show any effects. These results indicate that psychological characteristics may have a higher impact on decision-making performance than drug-induced pharmacological effects.

“…The inclusion of depressive and anxiety symptoms in the assessment of personality is especially relevant because they artificially increase the scores of several personality dimensions [21][22][23] and confuse the diagnosis of personality disorders [24]. In fact, studies that control for the effect of depressive symptoms do not find differences between FM patients and healthy controls [25] or find clinically nonsignificant differences [26].…”

“…A low SD individual tends to manifest a lack of purpose, autonomy, reliability and selfacceptance. This dimension is the main correlate of the presence of personality disorder (Gutiérrez et al 2008), suicidal behaviour (Aukst-Margetic et al 2012) and level of functioning (Tse et al 2011). Furthermore, the development of ST has a radical transformative impact on SD and C (Cloninger 2006).…”

Spirituality and Its Relationship with Personality in Depressed People: Preliminary Findings

et al. 2014

The relationship between spirituality and personality in patients with depression is complex and not much explored. The aim of our study is to examine the interconnection between the spiritual quality of life (QoL) and Cloninger's psychobiological model of personality in patients with depression. The sample consisted of 85 consecutive outpatients treated for depression. The measurements used were: Beck Depression Inventory, WHO-Quality of Life-Spiritual, Religious, Personal Beliefs, and Temperament and Character Inventory. The results have shown that higher harm avoidance, lower self-directedness and lower cooperativeness are personality dimensions associated with depression. The spiritual QoL has showed to play a significant role in depression, just as it has proved to be a unique predictor of lower depressive symptoms, adjusted for personality dimensions. The spiritual QoL itself is predicted by personality dimensions, self-directedness and self-transcendence implying that spirituality is a broader construct than the character dimension. Our findings may contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of depression, spirituality and personality.
