Associations between personality traits and problematic smartphone use (PSU) among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) have not been widely investigated. The current study aims to assess whether SUD status moderates the association between personality traits and PSU.
The study group included 151 individuals with SUD and a normative sample (NS) comprised of 554 non-SUD students. The following self-report questionnaires were used: the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale (MPPUS-10) to assess problematic smartphone use (PSU), the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) to assess intensity of internet use, and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) to assess Personality traits.
SUD status moderated the association between neuroticism and openness to new experiences on PSU. That is, greater neuroticism and openness were significantly associated with more excessive PSU among the NS. In the SUD group, greater openness was a significant protective factor against PSU. Moderation results were similar when using the IAT (which was significantly correlated with MPPUS) as an outcome.
The presence of SUD may influence how personality traits are associated with problematic mobile phone/internet use. Given that this is among one of the first studies examining this topic, findings should be replicated with additional studies.
物质使用障碍（SUD）患者的人格特质与问题性智能手机使用（PSU）之间的关联尚未得到广泛研究。本研究旨在评估SUD状态是否会调节人格特质与PSU之间的关联。
研究组包括151名患有SUD的个体和一个由554名非SUD学生组成的正常样本（NS）。使用了以下自我报告问卷：手机问题使用量表（MPPUS - 10）来评估问题性智能手机使用（PSU），网络成瘾测试（IAT）来评估互联网使用强度，以及大五人格问卷（NEO - FFI）来评估人格特质。
SUD状态调节了神经质和对新体验的开放性与PSU之间的关联。也就是说，在正常样本中，较高的神经质和开放性与更过度的PSU显著相关。在SUD组中，较高的开放性是预防PSU的一个显著保护因素。当使用与MPPUS显著相关的IAT作为结果时，调节结果相似。
SUD的存在可能会影响人格特质与问题性手机/互联网使用之间的关联方式。鉴于这是首批研究该主题的研究之一，研究结果应通过更多研究进行重复验证。
