在方法和寻求相关概念上的个体差异,如感觉寻求、新奇寻求和冲动,通常被发现与年轻人的物质使用最令人信服地联系在一起。一组可能与物质使用特别相关的人格特征与格雷的代表接近和回避敏感性的二维因素有关。本研究调查了非临床大学生样本(n=276)格雷的BIS和BAS人格特征是否与吸毒和/或酗酒有关。结果表明,大学生吸毒、饮酒与BAS呈正相关,与BIS人格特征呈一定程度的负相关。BAS寻乐与使用非法物质的数量、饮酒的数量和酗酒的频率之间的相关性最大。这些结果表明,BIS/BAS人格特征对大学生物质使用有显著影响。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Individual differences in approach and seeking-related constructs such as sensation seeking, novelty seeking and impulsivity are generally found to be most convincingly associated with substance use in young adults. One set of personality traits that may be particularly relevant to substance use is concerned with Gray's two-dimensional factors that represent approach and avoidance sensitivity. The current study investigated whether Gray's BIS and BAS personality characteristics are associated with drug and/or alcohol use in a sample of non-clinical college students (n = 276). Results indicated that college students' drug and alcohol use was positively correlated with BAS and, to some extent, negatively to BIS personality characteristics. The most substantial correlations were found between BAS Fun Seeking and the number of illegal substances one had used, the quantity of alcohol use, and the frequency of binge drinking. These results suggest that BIS/BAS personality characteristics make a significant contribution to college students' substance use. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
