本研究以457名青少年为样本，对Cloninger（1987 a）物质使用理论的推导进行了检验。一个67项适应的三维人格问卷（TPQ）和措施的10个相关结构一起管理的措施，烟草，酒精和大麻的使用。因素分析表明，TPQ包括九个分量表。TPQ尺寸的相互作用表明，物质使用特别是升高的人具有高新奇的追求，低伤害避免，低奖励依赖。TPQ量表与其他理论体系的结构相融合，与行为控制不足，冒险，冲动，愤怒，独立，生活事件，偏差容忍和感觉寻求的措施相关。物质滥用理论的影响进行了讨论。
This study tested derivations from Cloninger's (1987a) theory of substance use on a sample of 457 adolescents. A 67-item adaptation of the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) and measures of 10 related constructs were administered together with measures of tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use. Factor analysis indicated that the TPQ comprised nine subscales. An interaction for TPQ dimensions indicated that substance use was particularly elevated for persons with high novelty seeking, low harm avoidance, and low reward dependence. TPQ scales converged with constructs from other theoretical systems, being correlated with measures of behavioral undercontrol, risk taking, impulsiveness, anger, independence, life events, tolerance for deviance, and sensation seeking. Implications for substance abuse theory are discussed.
