    Psychological dependence and personality traits influence drug dependence. While initially expected, findings suggest prolonged drug use may paradoxically enhance certain adaptive personality functions.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Addiction Studies
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Investigates the relationship between pre-existing psychological dependence (cognitive and emotional) and the likelihood of developing drug dependence.
    • Examines personality structures and their potential correlation with substance use disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if individuals with higher psychological dependence are more susceptible to drug dependence.
    • To compare personality profiles of multiple drug users, cannabis users, and non-users.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative study involving three groups of 21 subjects each: multiple drug users, cannabis users, and non-users.
    • Assessment of psychological dependence, cognitive field dependence, emotional dependence, and personality dynamics.

    Main Results:

    • Contrary to expectations, non-users exhibited more dynamic personalities than cannabis users, who in turn were more dynamic than hard-drug users.
    • Prolonged use in multiple drug users appeared to foster greater perceptual independence and emotional maturity, likely due to the clandestine nature of their habits.
    • Cannabis users presented a more inconsistent personality profile compared to other groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The relationship between psychological dependence and drug dependence is complex and not strictly linear.
    • Personality structures can evolve with prolonged substance use, potentially developing adaptive coping mechanisms.
    • Factors such as duration of use and the specific drug type significantly influence personality outcomes in substance users.
