Psychological well-being and alcohol misuse among community-based veterans: results from the Veterans' Health Study

Richard E. Adams et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between alcohol problems and social or psychological factors among post-deployed US veterans. Results showed that using drugs or alcohol to cope post-deployment was associated with problematic drinking, while positive personality traits like agreeableness and conscientiousness were linked to fewer drinking problems. Alcohol misuse was not related to distress or depression, but a higher AUDIT-C score was associated with better self-rated health.

Linking Big Five Personality Domains and Facets to Alcohol (Mis)Use: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

P. Priscilla Lui et al.

Summary: The study found that conscientiousness and agreeableness were negatively correlated with alcohol consumption, risky drinking, and negative consequences. Narrowband traits such as deliberation, dutifulness, compliance, and straightforwardness were uniquely associated with alcohol use outcomes. Extraversion, specifically excitement seeking, was correlated with alcohol consumption, while neuroticism, specifically impulsiveness and angry hostility, was correlated with negative drinking-related consequences.
