Extraversion has been suggested as a factor associated with addiction. This claim was tested in relation to exercise addiction. Twelve exercise addicts were compared with 12 nonaddicted individuals who were committed to regular exercise and with 12 nonexercising individuals drawn from the same student population. Addicted exercisers did not differ from nonaddicted exercisers in extraversion, although exercisers as a group were more extraverted than nonexercisers. The results are interpreted as evidence against the claim that extraversion is a component of the addictive personality profile.
外向性被认为是与成瘾相关的一个因素。这一说法在运动成瘾方面进行了检验。将12名运动成瘾者与12名坚持定期锻炼的非成瘾者以及从同一学生群体中抽取的12名不锻炼者进行了比较。成瘾的锻炼者在外向性方面与非成瘾的锻炼者没有差异，尽管作为一个群体，锻炼者比不锻炼者更外向。这些结果被解释为反对外向性是成瘾人格特征组成部分这一说法的证据。
