Drug Addiction Endophenotypes: Impulsive Versus Sensation-Seeking Personality Traits
Abstract: BackgroundGenetic factors have been implicated in the development of substance abuse disorders, but the role of pre-existing vulnerability in addiction is still poorly understood. Personality traits of impulsivity and sensation-seeking are highly prevalent in chronic drug users and have been linked with an increased risk for substance abuse. However, it has not been clear whether these personality traits are a cause or an effect of stimulant drug dependence.MethodWe compared self-reported levels of impulsivity…

“…Dun & Rake's findings (2010), along with research findings, showed that student with high depression, academic achievement goals, and students with low depression choose functional goals. Also, in line with the findings of Ersche, Turton, Pradhan, Bullmore & Robbins (2010).in explaining the research hypothesis, learners who have received positive training mainly focus on improving their competencies and acquiring new knowledge, and to foment the failures The past is trying and doing homework that is hard and new, but people with high depression often choose more performance goals and prefer assignments that can be done without mistakes, so they are more likely to fail, and Most experience depression (Michinov, Brunot, Ohayel & Delaval ,2011).…”

“…The cocaine users also reported more dysphoric mood compared with the healthy volunteers, which is not unusual for substance-dependent individuals ( Buckley et al , 2001 ). In keeping with previous research, the cocaine users reported increased trait-impulsivity and appetitive motivation (Moeller et al , 2004 ; 2005 ; Franken and Muris 2006 ; Ersche et al , 2010 ). However, these high levels of self-reported impulsivity were not reflected in their behavioural performance.…”

“…The behavioral results reveal that the cognitive functions associated with accurate responses in the MID task are weakened among individuals high in either disinhibition or sensation-seeking levels. This finding is in line with previous observations that impulsivity dampens behavioral performance in cognitive tasks (Brown et al, 2012; Ersche et al, 2010; Kim & Lee, 2011). …”
