Abstract
Aims: Although relationships between addiction and personality have previously been explored, no study has ever simultaneously investigated the interrelationships between several behavioral addictions, and related these to the main dimensions of the five-factor model of personality.
Methods: In this study, 218 university students completed questionnaires assessing seven different behavioral addictions (i.e., Facebook addiction, video game addiction, Internet addiction, exercise addiction, mobile phone addiction, compulsive buying, and study addiction) as well as an instrument assessing the main dimensions of the five-factor model of personality.
Results: Of the 21 bivariate intercorrelations between the seven behavioral addictions, all were positive (and nine significantly). The results also showed that (i) Neuroticism was positively associated with Internet addiction, exercise addiction, compulsive buying, and study addiction, (ii) Extroversion was positively associated with Facebook addiction, exercise addiction, mobile phone addiction, and compulsive buying, (iii) Openness to experience was negatively associated with Facebook addiction and mobile phone addiction, (iv) Agreeableness was negatively associated with Internet addiction, exercise addiction, mobile phone addiction, and compulsive buying, and (v) Conscientiousness was negatively associated with Facebook addiction, video game addiction, Internet addiction, and compulsive buying and positively associated with exercise addiction and study addiction.
Conclusions: The positive associations between the seven behavioral addictions suggest one or several underlying pathological factors. Hierarchical multiple regressions showed that personality traits explained between 6% and 17% of the variance in the seven behavioral addictions, suggesting that personality to a varying degree explains scores on measures of addictive behaviors.

Versüchtelung ganzer Gesellschaften?:
"In den letzten Jahren scheinen immer mehr Menschen alle möglichen Verhaltensweisen in einem solchen Extrem zu betreiben (von Extremspotarten wie Bungee-Springen und free-climbing über rauschhaftes Einkaufen bis hin zu süchtigem Arbeiten und Börsen-Zocken), dass man von einer zunehmenden "Versüchtelung" der Gesellschaft sprechen kann. Besonders die medialen Abhängigkeiten (TV, Computer, Internet, Handys) scheinen zuzunehmen."
... und an anderer Stelle:
"Die generelle Tendenz, mit sich, den anderen und der Welt süchtig umzugehen, verbreitet sich. Man kann von einer langsamen Versüchtelung immer größerer Teile der Bevölkerung ausgehen. Der süchtige Umgang wird mehr und mehr das Normale."
Werner Gross, Hinter jeder Sucht... & Sucht ohne Drogen, 2002 & 2003
Sucht:
Sucht - ob mit oder ohne Drogen - kann definiert werden als unabweisbares Verlangen nach einem bestimmten Gefühls-, Erlebnis- und Bewusstseinszustand. Das Ziel von süchtigen Verhalten ist entweder, Lustgefühle herbeizuführen und/oder Unlustgefühle (Unruhe, Trauer, Wut etc.) zu vermeiden.
