TRAITS IN TERMS OF THE FIVE-FACTOR PERSONALITY MODEL AND NICOTINE ADDICTION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our cross-sectional study was to explore the differences in traits postulated by Costa and McCrae’s Five-Factor Personality Model that exist between selfdeclared nicotine-dependent and non-nicotine-dependent individuals. The sample in this study consisted of 615 adults of both sexes aged from 17 to 69 years, including 74 self-declared nicotine-dependent subjects and 541 self-declared non-nicotine-dependent subjects. The Polish version of the NEO-FFI personality questionnaire was used to assess five personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, and conscientiousness). Nicotine-dependent individuals scored lower for agreeableness and conscientiousness than non-nicotine-dependent individuals, and no significant differences were found for other traits. In both groups females were more neurotic than males. Among the nicotine-dependent individuals, males scored higher than females for openness to experience. Among the non-nicotine-dependent individuals, females got better scores for agreeableness.
