dc.description.abstractThis infographic explores the influence of five personality traits (anxiety sensitivity, hopelessness, sensation seeking, impulsivity, and perfectionism) on alcohol and cannabis use. Based on the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale (SURPS), these traits are closely examined to show how personality influences individual patterns of substance use. It highlights key factors associated with substance use, such as positive and negative reinforcement that motivate alcohol and cannabis use. Since first-year students often have increased autonomy and exposure to these substances, this infographic aims to inform individuals about how their personality may shape their decision-making around substance use and potential misuse in university, especially students who are beginning to navigate university.
