Abstract

Middle school addictive behavior involvement is highly predictive of future dysfunction. We tested whether a set of high-risk personality traits, measured in elementary school, predicted drinking, smoking, and binge eating in middle school. We studied 1,906 children in two waves: Wave 1 was the last year of elementary school and wave 2 was the first year of middle school in the participating schools. In a design controlling for sex, pubertal status, prior engagement in addictive behaviors, and other high-risk personality traits, we found that (a) fifth grade urgency, the tendency to act rashly when emotional, predicted drinking, smoking, and binge eating during sixth grade; and (b) fifth grade low conscientiousness, which reflects a failure to plan ahead or persevere on tasks, predicted drinking and smoking during sixth grade. It appears that high-risk middle school addictive behavior can itself be predicted from individual differences present in elementary school. Implications for future research and prevention are discussed.

We also ran zero-inflated poisson regression (ZIP) models, because of the large number of zero responses (most children were not drinking, smoking, or binge eating). Results of those analyses, which were consistent with the maximum likelihood results presented here, are available from the authors.

Analyses were additionally run for the individual components of urgency and low conscientiousness as specified by a 5-factor solution (as opposed to a 3-factor solution, which was used in the present study); that is, urgency was broken down into its components of negative and positive urgency, and low conscientiousness was broken down into its components of lack of planning and lack of perseverance. Positive and negative urgency performed the same as each other in these analyses, as did lack of planning and lack of perseverance. Because no new information was provided when doing the analyses separately by facet, we have presented results for the 3-factor solution.
