Abstract
The personality systems of Cloninger (as measured by the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire [TPQ]) and Eysenck (as measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire [EPQ]) both have be巳n linked to substance use and abuse. The
current study examined the predictive utility of both systems for substance use
disorder (SUD) diagnoses , both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Participants
(N = 489 at baseline) completed the EPQ and TPQ and were assessed via structured diagnostic interviews at baseline and 6 years later (N = 457 at follow-up).
Both the EPQ and TPQ scales demonstrated bivariate cross-sectional and prospective associations with SUDs. Within each system, those dimensions marking
a broad impulsive sensation-seeking or behavioral disinhibition trait were the best
predictors prospectively, although the 2 systems were differentially sensitive to
specific diagnoses. These relations remained significant even with autoregressivity,
other concurrent SUD diagnoses , and multiple personality dimensions statistically controlled.
