背景：在表现出狂饮（BD）模式的年轻人中，气质和性格维度的人格在很大程度上仍未被探索。此外，现有的研究没有考虑性别差异，也没有考虑酗酒者可能存在的人格异质性。在这项研究中，我们的目的是比较年轻的酗酒者和年龄和性别匹配的社交饮酒者之间的气质和性格维度。我们进一步应用聚类分析，探讨潜在的异质性的人格模式之间BD college students.Methods：本研究包括200名大学生的18至24岁，谁被招募通过邀请采取酒精使用调查。这些参与者包括100名具有BD模式的个体（50名女性和50名男性）和100名具有社交饮酒（SD）模式的参与者（50名女性和50名男性）。对这些受试者的饮酒和其他物质使用情况、冲动性、感觉寻求、情绪以及Cloninger气质和性格量表进行了评估。结果：组间比较显示，男性和女性酗酒者的特征是高水平的新奇寻求，以及低水平的坚持性和自我导向性。然而，酗酒者组内的聚类分析显示，男性和女性之间存在2个不同的组。这些群体共享的相似性与Cloninger的I型（高伤害回避）和II型（高新奇寻求）alcoholism typology.Conclusions：目前的研究结果支持的细分酗酒者根据性别和人格维度。男性和女性酗酒者不应该被认为是一个单一的群体，而是一个包含至少两种不同人格模式的个体群体。这些发现对预防和治疗方法具有重要意义。
Background: Temperament and character dimensions of personality remain largely unexplored in young adults exhibiting binge drinking (BD) patterns. Moreover, the available studies do not consider gender differences and dismiss possible personality heterogeneity among binge drinkers. In this study, we aimed to compare temperament and character dimensions between young binge drinkers and age- and sex-matched social drinkers. We further applied cluster analysis to investigate the potential heterogeneity of personality patterns among BD college students.Methods: This study included 200 university students of 18 to 24 years of age, who were recruited via an invitation to take an alcohol use survey. These participants included 100 individuals (50 females and 50 males) with a BD pattern, and 100 participants (50 females and 50 males) with a social drinking (SD) pattern. These subjects were evaluated with regard to their use of alcohol and other substances, impulsiveness, sensation seeking, mood, and Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory.Results: Between-group comparisons revealed that both male and female binge drinkers were characterized by high levels of novelty seeking, and low levels of persistence and self-directedness. However, cluster analyses within the binge drinker group revealed 2 distinct groups that differed between males and females. These groups shared similarities with Cloninger's type I (high harm-avoidance) and II (high novelty-seeking) alcoholism typology.Conclusions: The present findings support the subdivision of binge drinkers according to gender and personality dimensions. Male and female binge drinkers should not be considered a unitary group, but rather a population of individuals that encompasses at least 2 distinct personality patterns. These findings have major implications for prevention and treatment approaches.
