ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship between health-risk behaviors and personality disorders in undergraduates.Methods A total of 290 undergraduates were surveyed with the Adolescent Health Related Risky Behavior Inventory (AHRBI) and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+ (PDQ-4+),and the whole data was analyzed by t-test and Pearson's correlation analysis.Results (1) The factors scores of AHRBI were significantly positively related with the factor scores of PDQ-4+ in the undergraduates (r=0.12-0.48,P＜0.05).(2) The positive groups of Paranoid,schizoid,schizotypal,histrionic,narcissistic,borderline,antisocial and depressive personality disorders performed higher scores of AHRBI (1.57±0.44,1.63±0.52,1.54±0.40,1.78±0.73,1.54 ±0.41,1.62± 0.41,1.61 ± 0.41,1.54 ± 0.37 respectively) than those of the corresponding negative groups (1.37 ±0.24,1.38±0.26,1.37±0.26,1.38±0.25,1.37±0.25,1.35±0.22,1.35±0.21,1.38±0.27 respectively) (P＜0.05).Conclusion Personality disorders are closely related with health-risk behaviors of undergraduates,and different health-risk behavior possesses different vulnerability of personality disorder.
