Previous issue date: 2014-08-11 === It is unclear how temperament is related to alcohol-related behavior in large population studies. We have used the Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament Scale (AFECTS) model to evaluate how emotional traits and affective temperaments are associated with alcohol use, abuse, and dependence in the general population. Data from 10,603 subjects (mean age=28.0?7.8yrs, 70.3% females) was collected anonymously by the Internet in Brazil using the AFECTS model and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Alcohol use was stratified into control, low use, abuse, and dependence groups. The analysis of dimensional traits showed that Volition and Coping were lower, and Sensitivity was higher, in the abuse and dependence groups, with no differences between the Control and the Low Use groups. Alcohol consumption was also associated with lower Control, Stability, and Caution, and higher with Anger, Anxiety, and Desire, with significant differences between all groups. Regarding affective temperament types, alcohol abuse and dependence were associated with euphoric and cyclothymic temperaments in both genders, which was mirrored by a lower frequency of both euthymic and hyperthymictypes. Only hyperthymics were overrepresented in the Control group for both genders. A global dysfunction of emotional traits and a predominance of cyclothymic and euphoric temperaments were associated with alcohol-related behavior. Prevention and treatment strategies may be developed more effectively if these traits are taken into account. === N?o est? claro na literatura como otemperamento associa-se a comportamentos relacionados ao consumo de ?lcool em grandes estudos populacionais. Utilizamos o modelo Affective and Emotional Composite Temperament Scale (AFECTS) para avaliar como tra?os emocionais e temperamentos afetivos relacionam-se ao uso, abuso e depend?ncia de ?lcool na popula??o geral. Dados de 10.603 participantes (m?dia de idade = 28.0 ? 7.8 anos, 70,3% mulheres) foram coletados anonimamente pela Internet no Brasil utilizando o modelo AFECTS e o Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). Estratificamos os sujeitos de acordo com o consumo da subst?ncia, sendo os grupos respectivamente nomeados: controle (baix?ssimo uso), baixo uso, abuso e depend?ncia. As an?lises para tra?os emocionais mostraram que nos grupos de abuso e depend?ncia os n?veis de Vontade e Maturidade (Coping) foram mais baixos, enquanto que os escores de Sensibilidade estavam mais altos, sem diferen?as entre os grupos controle e baixo uso. O consumo de ?lcool foi tamb?m associado com baixo Controle, Estabilidade e Cautela, alta Raiva, Ansiedade e Desejo, apresentando diferen?as significativas entre todos os grupos. Com rela??o aos tipos de temperamento afetivo, abuso e depend?ncia de ?lcool foram associados com temperamentos euf?rico e ciclot?mico em ambos os sexos, acompanhados de uma menor freq??ncia dos tipos eut?mico e hipert?mico. Apenas os hipert?micos tiveram alta representatividade no grupo controle, tanto para homens quanto para mulheres. A exist?ncia de uma disfun??o global de tra?os emocionais e a predomin?ncia de temperamentos ciclot?mico e euf?rico foram associados a comportamentos relacionados ao consumo de ?lcool. Ressalta-se que estrat?gias de preven??o e tratamento podem ser desenvolvidas de forma mais eficaz,sendo estas caracter?sticas identificadas e consideradas.
