Smokeless tobacco use and personality factors associated with smokeless tobacco use were examined in a broad, representative sample of 8th and 10th graders from central and south-central Florida (n = 1413). Current, occasional, or ex-users of smokeless tobacco accounted for 51% of the males and 9% of the females. Smokeless tobacco users, as compared to non-users, had significantly higher Trait Anger, and Angry Temperament and Angry Reaction subscale scores on the State-Trait Personality Inventory, suggesting a possible role in the initiation of smokeless tobacco use. There were no differences in Trait Anger, Anxiety, or Curiosity scores between the three user groups, suggesting that trait personality does not play a role in the maintenance of smokeless tobacco use.
在佛罗里达州中部和中南部地区八年级和十年级学生的广泛代表性样本（n = 1413）中，对无烟烟草使用情况以及与无烟烟草使用相关的人格因素进行了研究。当前、偶尔或曾经使用无烟烟草的人占男性的51%，占女性的9%。与不使用者相比，无烟烟草使用者在状态-特质人格量表上的特质愤怒、愤怒气质和愤怒反应子量表得分显著更高，这表明其在无烟烟草使用起始中可能发挥作用。三个使用者群体在特质愤怒、焦虑或好奇心得分上没有差异，这表明特质人格在无烟烟草使用的维持中不起作用。
