Detaljerad beskrivning
The study aims to assess the association between the use of various substances (including psychedelic and non-psychedelic drugs) and personality profiles. Specifically, the association between past drug usage and personality profiles will be investigated. As psychedelics were found to influence changes in personality over time, the present study aims to measure both the current personality profile (via the Big Five Inventory-44 (BFI)) and perceived retrospective changes in personality (via a self-constructed Retrospective Personality Scale (RPS)). To our knowledge, no study has explored the diversity of substance use histories in relation to individual current and retrospective personality traits and aggregate personality profiles.
This project aims to survey a large number of participants from all around the world, using a mobile app-based survey. The remote character of the study will increase its accessibility and diversity, which are common shortcomings in the psychedelic line of research. Additionally, a remote, anonymous study setup with no face-to-face interactions might help overcome any potential concerns participants may have regarding the sharing of sensitive information (e.g., reports on illicit substance use).
To increase scientific transparency and for educational purposes, the study team plans to share results summaries (comparisons of personalized results with the aggregated ones among participants sharing similar characteristics e.g., age, substance use history), which might be an additional motivating factor for study completion. Lastly, given that drug use in the natural environment (excluding laboratory/experimental setting) is characterized by large substance diversity and poly-drug use, we aim for a large sample size (with a minimum of 36 subjects per substance(s) category) to perform subgroup analyses. Therefore, this large-scale, low-budget, naturalistic, retrospective, observational study aims to shed light on the aforementioned gap in the literature and to lay a foundation of evidence for further (observational and experimental) research within the field.

Kohorter och interventioner
Grupp / Kohort |
|---|
|
Psychedelics-only Group
A group of participants who reported using in their past psychedelic substances only (both classical and non-classical psychedelics are included). Specifically, in the current study this group included reports on the following substances: Psilocybin (magic mushrooms, truffles) LSD (acid) Mescaline (peyote, san pedro) Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) Ayahuasca 5-MeO-DMT 3-MMC Ibogaine Salvia Phenethylamines (2C family) |
|
Stimulants-only Group
A group of participants who reported using in their past drugs identified as stimulating compounds only (both recreational and prescribed usages are included). Stimulating compounds are considered, in the context of the current study, substances that increase the overall activity of the central nervous system. Specifically, in the current study this group included reports on the following substances: Cocaine Crack Amphetamines Methamphetamines Prescription stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta) |
|
Grupp med endast depressiva medel
En grupp deltagare som rapporterade att de tidigare använt droger identifierades endast som deprimerande substanser (både rekreationsbruk och receptbelagda användningar ingår). Deprimerande föreningar anses, inom ramen för den aktuella studien, substanser som minskar den totala aktiviteten i det centrala nervsystemet. Specifikt, i den aktuella studien inkluderade denna grupp rapporter om följande ämnen: Bensodiazepiner Opiater (fritidsanvändning av heroin, opium, hydrokodon, oxikodon, oximorfon, kodein, fentanyl) Receptbelagda opioider |
|
Cannabinoidgruppen
En grupp deltagare som rapporterade att de i sina förflutna endast använde cannabinoidföreningar (både rekreationsbruk och föreskriven användning ingår). Specifikt, i den aktuella studien inkluderade denna grupp rapporter om följande ämnen: THC (cannabis, marijuana) CBD Medical Cannabis (både THC och CBD) |
|
Psychedelic and Non-psychedelic Substances Group
A group of participants who reported using in their past drugs identified as psychedelics and stimulants and/or depressants (both recreational and prescribed usages are included). In this group participants will be included who reported using at least one non-psychedelic drug additionally to a psychedelic one. Specifically, the following options were provided:
THC (cannabis, marijuana) Medical Cannabis (both THC and CBD) CBD MDMA (ecstasy) Ketamine Cocaine Crack Amphetamines Methamphetamines Prescription stimulants (e.g., Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta) Benzodiazepines Opiates (e.g., heroin, opium, hydrocodone, oxycodone, oxymorphone, codeine, fentanyl) Prescription opioids |
|
Substansnaiv grupp
En grupp deltagare som inte rapporterade någon tidigare erfarenhet av något av ämnena som listas i den aktuella studien och inte heller rapporterade att de använde andra substanser (exklusive alkohol och nikotin).
Deltagare kommer att tilldelas den här gruppen om och endast om de väljer alternativet "Inga av ovanstående" från enkäten om substansanvändning (punkt 1).
