Halberstadt, Alexandra L. Predicting Smoking and Nicotine Dependence from the DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality <div>Individuals with personality disorders (PDs) have higher morbidity and mortality than the</div><div>general population, and this may be due to maladaptive health behaviors such as smoking.</div><div>Individual differences in underlying personality dimensions of behavioral undercontrol, affective</div><div>dysregulation, psychoticism, and antagonism are thought to explain the high comorbidity between</div><div>PDs and smoking and nicotine dependence. However, little is known about how the Diagnostic and</div><div>Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th Ed.; DSM-5) Section III trait model of personality</div><div>pathology relates to smoking and nicotine dependence. The current study examined this question</div><div>in a sample of 500 participants using the Levels of Personality Functioning Scale to assess general</div><div>personality dysfunction, the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 to measure specific traits, the</div><div>Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence to assess nicotine dependence, and questions about</div><div>current and past smoking to assess lifetime smoking behavior. Results demonstrated that two of</div><div>the five higher-order personality traits (i.e., negative affectivity and detachment) predicted</div><div>smoking status (current vs former/never smokers), but none of the personality traits predicted</div><div>level of nicotine dependence within the smokers. General personality pathology was not</div><div>predictive of smoking status or nicotine dependence. The relationships between negative</div><div>affectivity and detachment and smoking status were still significant after controlling for other</div><div>smoking risk factors (i.e., drug/alcohol use and depression/anxiety symptoms), and after</div><div>accounting for general personality pathology. Findings are discussed in regard to the general</div><div>validity of this new personality disorder diagnostic system.</div> nicotine dependence;Smoking;personality traits;DSM-5 personality pathology;five-factor model 2019-08-08
