Personality characteristics and perceived health in Russian and Swedish female young adults with alcohol drinking habits
Personality and Individual Differences(2014)
摘要
Aim: To investigate whether alcohol drinking habits of Russian and Swedish female young adults are related to personality and perceived health. Methods: Russian female young adults (n = 69) and Swedish female young adult alcohol patients (n = 73), each group subdivided according to level of alcohol drinking habits, were studied. Alcohol use/abuse was defined by Alcohol Questionnaires, personality by KSP/SSP inventories, and perceived health by Health Index scales. Results: In the Russian high alcohol consumption subgroup, there was a clear personality pattern characterized by higher impulsiveness, adventure seeking and aggression than their counterparts with low drinking habits. Similarly, the Swedish female young adults with high alcohol problems displayed higher adventure seeking, non-conformity and aggression/irritability, and also more health problems. Conclusion: Findings indicated that high alcohol drinking habits in females from two different cultures are associated with disinhibitory personality traits, known to be connected to underlying vulnerability mechanisms for health risk behaviours.
