We examined personality traits (Sociability, Impulsivity, Neuroticism) as mediators of the effects of family history on alcohol outcomes.
A sample of 485 men reported on family history of alcohol problems in 1973, completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory in 1976, and responded to a survey on alcohol use in 1982.
Using structural equation modeling, family history was found to have direct effects on number of drinks per day and on the number of alcohol problems, as well as indirect effects mediated through Neuroticism. There were no effects of Sociability or Impulsivity on either alcohol outcome.
In this sample of older men, family history had both direct and indirect effects, and personality traits found to affect alcohol outcomes were different from those that have been found in younger men.
我们研究了人格特质（社交性、冲动性、神经质）作为家族史对酒精相关结果影响的中介因素。
485名男性样本在1973年报告了酒精问题家族史，1976年完成艾森克人格问卷，并于1982年回应了一项关于饮酒情况的调查。
使用结构方程模型，发现家族史对每日饮酒量和酒精问题数量有直接影响，以及通过神经质介导的间接影响。社交性或冲动性对任何一项酒精相关结果均无影响。
在这个老年男性样本中，家族史既有直接影响也有间接影响，且发现影响酒精相关结果的人格特质与在年轻男性中发现的不同。
