Abstract

Relationships between drinking (consumption and problems) and three personality characteristics (extraversion, anxiety, and anger) were examined in a sample of 100 undergraduate students (42 male, 58 female). Extraversion was found to be the best single predictor variable.

      Identifying specific risk factors for alcohol use and consequences is an essential component of developing effective college prevention programs. Personality traits, such as neuroticism and extraversion, have been identified as predictors of greater risky behaviors, including heavy drinking and consequences (Cooper, Agocha, & Sheldon, 2000; Martsh & Miller, 1997; Read & O'Connor, 2006). The trait of impulsivity appears to be particularly important for understanding college students' alcohol use, with higher levels of impulsivity consistently related to greater alcohol use and risk (Magid, MacLean, & Colder, 2007; Shin, Hong, & Jeon, 2012).

      Citation Excerpt :

      The literature regarding extraversion, neuroticism, and conscientiousness is explored as these three personality characteristics are proposed as the basis for self-selection into hospitality and as potential explanatory vehicles for the disparity in alcohol consumption behaviors between hospitality and non-hospitality populations. Martsh and Miller (1997) considered anxiety, anger, and extraversion as predictors of three alcohol consumption measures. Their research pointed only to extraversion as predictive of alcohol consumption.

      Although there is little evidence of a specific “alcoholic personality,” there is a body of literature that supports the relationship between specific personality traits and drinking behavior (see Kuntsche et al., 2006, for a review). To date, the majority of research has focused on the relationship between alcohol use and sensation seeking (e.g., Zuckerman, 2007), neuroticism (e.g., Jackson and Sher, 2003), and extraversion (e.g., Martsh and Miller, 1997); however, recent evidence also supports the association between alcohol use and alexithymia (Thorberg et al., 2009). Moreover, alexithymia has been found to be more prevalent in males (Honkalampi et al., 1999; Levant et al., 2009).

      Malouff and colleagues (2006) found that higher levels of extraversion was associated with smoking in studies completed in Japan and Spain (where smoking rates were much higher), but not in studies completed in the US and Canada. In terms of alcohol use, teachers’ ratings of extraversion in childhood were associated with higher consumption levels in middle age (Hampson et al., 2006; Tucker et al., 1995), and numerous studies have linked higher levels of extraversion in adolescence and early adulthood with excessive alcohol intake (Allsopp, 1986; Martsh & Miller, 1997). Part of the inconsistency in associations between extraversion and substance use may be attributable to the large number of studies that use adolescent or college-aged respondents–the very ages when exploration of substances such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs is most common (Johnston, O’Malley, & Bachman, 2001).
