AB  - Although alcohol use disorders (AUDs) have been associated with different aspects 
      of disinhibited personality and antisociality, less is known about the specific 
      relationships among different domains of disinhibited personality, antisociality, 
      alcohol use, and alcohol problems. The current study was designed to address 
      three goals, (i) to provide evidence of a three-factor model of disinhibited 
      personality (comprised of impulsivity [IMP], risk taking/low harm avoidance 
      [RTHA], excitement seeking [ES]), (ii) to test hypotheses regarding the 
      association between each dimension and alcohol use and problems, and (iii) to 
      test the hypothesis that antisociality (social deviance proneness [SDP]) accounts 
      for the direct association between IMP and alcohol problems, while ES is directly 
      related to alcohol use. Measures of disinhibited personality IMP, RTHA, ES and 
      SDP and alcohol use and problems were assessed in a sample of young adults 
      (N=474), which included a high proportion of individuals with AUDs. Confirmatory 
      factor analyses supported a three-factor model of disinhibited personality 
      reflecting IMP, RTHA, and ES. A structural equation model (SEM) showed that IMP 
      was specifically associated with alcohol problems, while ES was specifically 
      associated with alcohol use. In a second SEM, SDP accounted for the majority of 
      the variance in alcohol problems associated with IMP. The results suggest that 
      aspects of IMP associated with SDP represent a direct vulnerability to alcohol 
      problems. In addition, the results suggest that ES reflects a specific 
      vulnerability to excessive alcohol use, which is then associated with alcohol 
      problems, while RTHA is not specifically associated with alcohol use or problems 
      when controlling for IMP and ES.
