title: Association between temperamental characteristics and medication adherence in subjects presenting with psychotic or mood disorders.
abstract: The links between temperamental characteristics and medication adherence were explored in subjects with psychotic (n=45) or mood disorders (n=58). Temperamental characteristics were measured using the Sensation-Seeking Scale (SSS), the Barratt Impulsivity Scale and the Physical Anhedonia Scale. Higher general SSS scores, and disinhibition and boredom susceptibility SSS subscores were associated with a greater risk to present with poor medication adherence.
