AB Background: Various authors have described the elements of impulsive approach andinhibitory control in drug users. These two components have been studied in terms ofpersonality traits, performance on tasks that measure impulsive behavior, andneurophysiology. However, few studies have analyzed the association between theseconstructs. Thus, the aim of the present study is to analyze the associations betweenpersonality traits and performance on impulsivity tasks.Methods: A follow-up study was conducted with a baseline assessment at the beginningand end of treatment. The sample was composed of 121 patients undergoing treatment intherapeutic communities. Personality domains were evaluated through the PID-5. Theimpulsivity tasks employed were the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), Delay Discounting Test(DDT), Go/No-Go and Stroop test.Results: A correlation was found between DDT scores and the domains of detachment(r = -.315; p<.01), antagonism (r = -.294; p<.01), and disinhibition (r = .215; p<.05).Performance on the Stroop task was significantly associated with psychoticism (r = .232;p<.05) and negative affect (r = .212; p<.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that IGT scoresand negative affect predict retention in treatment.Conclusions: These findings partially support the hypothesized association betweensensation-seeking personality traits and detachment with impulsive choice tasks; and therelationships between negative affect and psychoticism traits with performance oninhibitory control tasks. Further, impulsive choice task scores and negative affect areboth shown to predict retention in treatment.
