RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Explorar diferencias en rasgos de personalidad entre sujetos adictos a sustancias en tratamiento y sujetos de población general emparejados en las variables sexo, edad y nivel de estudios. Material y

método:

Se obtuvo por muestreo consecutivo una muestra de sujetos que inician tratamiento por abuso/dependencia de sustancias en un centro público (CAD 4). Mediante la técnica de “bola de nieve” se obtuvo una muestra de población general. Se consideraron únicamente las parejas (un sujeto de cada muestra) que presentan la misma edad, el mismo sexo y el mismo nivel de estudios. De este modo se obtuvieron 55 parejas. Se utilizó el TCI-R de Cloninger y se compararon los resultados globales, cruzando las diversas variables.

Resultados:

Solo aparecieron diferencias significativas y consistentes en dos rasgos Búsqueda de Novedad, mayor en adictos, y Autodirección, mayor en población general.

Conclusiones:

Los datos sugieren que las diferencias observadas no son previas, sino consecutivas al consumo, pareciendo que son los efectos de las sustancias y las condiciones psicosociales asociadas al consumo las que exacerban o impidenel desarrollo de los rasgos. Se relacionan los hallazgos con estudios que vinculan estas variables con funciones neuropsicológicas y se propone la inclusión de esta perspectiva neuropsicológica en la evaluación y tratamiento de los trastornos adictivos
ABSTRACT

Objective:

This article explores differences in personality traits between subjects with substance addiction in treatment and subjects from the general population matched in the variables sex, age and educational level. Material and

method:

Consecutive sampling was used to obtain a sample of participants undergoing treatment for addictive disorders at a public centre (CAD 4). A sample of the general population was obtained by means of the snowball technique. Only pairs (one participant from each sample) with the same age, sex and educational level were considered. In this way, 55 pairs were obtained. Cloninger’s TCI-R was used and the global results were compared, crossing all variables.

Results:

Significant and consistent differences were foundin just two traits Novelty-Seeking, greater in addicts, and Self-Directedness, greater in general population.

Conclusions:

Data strongly suggest that observed differences are not previous, but consecutive to the addiction, it being apparent that the effects of the substances and the psychosocial conditions associated with their consumption are what exacerbates or blocks development of the traits. Findings are related to studies linking these variables with neuropsychological functions, and the inclusion of this neuropsychological perspective is strongly proposed for application to the assessment and treatment of addictive disorders
