| Abstract: |
Highlights: [•] The Icelandic NEO-FFI was tested in large general population and addiction samples. [•] NEO-FFI of treated addicts, untreated relatives, and ever smokers were compared. [•] Factor analyses found the N and C scales most robust. [•] High N, low C, and low A predicted membership in the addiction treated group. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
