Personality and sociodemographic characteristics at drug users in institutional treatment
DAVIDOVÁ, Klára
Many Psychiatrists and Psychologists agree that researching Addictive Personality is a difficult subject. It is associated with many problems as research into the Personality traits is complex. Therefore some mental health experts find it useful to view addiction as `compulsive{\crq} and `self-destructive{\crq} behavior. By accumulating existing and ongoing research of the Personality{\crq}s role in addiction, primarily that of Drug users and Alcoholism; most scientists have concluded that there is no one set of Psychological characteristics that define all addictions. However, scientists have found that there are several Personality factors that contribute to Addictions. These include: Impulsive behavior, difficulty in relaying gratification, antisocial behavior and a disposition towards sensation seeking. They are often nonconformists and have little or no interest in the goals and achievements that society places value on. A feeling of alienation and a tendency for deviance is also found to be common among types of addiction, along with a heightened sense of stress. The first theoretical part of this thesis concerns the definition of Drugs, types of Drugs and Drug Addiction. The second part concerns Personality Traits, Addictive Personalities and Empathy. The goal of this research is to identify some Personality characteristics of drug users whom are in institutional treatment. The research was carried out in Červený Dvůr, an institutional mental home for drug users and gamblers. Research was devised through a questionnaire that was given to 41 drug users being treated at the home. For the practical part of this research six Hypotheses were stated. Hypotheses H1 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show higher level of neuroticism in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H2 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show higher variability extraversion and intraversion in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H3 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show higher level of openness to experience in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H4 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show lower level of Agreeableness in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H5 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show lower level of conscientiousness in comparison to equal population. Hypotheses H6 claim that clients of mental home Červený Dvůr show lower level of empathy in comparison to equal population.
