Personality Correlates of Nonclinical Substance use in Adolescents
Abstract
A substance use survey (Wechsler, et al., 1998) and several personality scales were administered to undergraduates. Both Study 1 and 2 revealed associations between personality factors and cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use. When compared to nonusers, smokers were higher in negative emotionality and lower in conscientiousness; alcohol and marijuana users were more extraverted. Gender moderation of relationships between personality and substance use was also evaluated.
