Personality traits previously known as risk factors for alcohol use disorder (AUD) were assessed in 29 young adult children of alcoholics (COAs) and 68 young adult children of nonalcoholics (non-COAs). Male and female university students (M = 22.11 years) completed questions pertaining to demographics and alcohol use, and the Children of Alcoholics Screening Test; Toronto Alexithymia Scale; Barratt Impulsiveness Scale; Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire; and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales.
Results indicated that personality traits of alexithymia, reward sensitivity, and impulsivity, as well as negative moods, were significantly elevated in COAs compared to non-COAs, independent of current alcohol consumption and drinking history.
Findings are consistent with familial transmission of AUD-associated personality traits in COAs, presumably via influences of genetics and/or familial environment.
先前被认为是酒精使用障碍（AUD）风险因素的人格特质，在 29 名酗酒者子女（COA）和 68 名非酗酒者子女（非-COA）的年轻成年人中进行了评估。男性和女性大学生（M=22.11 岁）完成了与人口统计学和酒精使用相关的问题，以及《酒精依赖子女筛查测试》、《多伦多述情障碍量表》、《巴瑞特冲动量表》、《惩罚敏感性和奖励敏感性问卷》和《抑郁焦虑压力量表》。
结果表明，与非-COA 相比，COA 组的述情障碍、奖励敏感性、冲动性以及负面情绪等人格特质明显升高，这与当前的酒精消费和饮酒史无关。
这些发现与 COA 中与 AUD 相关的人格特质的家族遗传一致，可能是遗传和/或家庭环境的影响所致。
