Personality characteristics such as extraversion, low agreeableness and low
conscientiousness are relevant for alcohol use during adolescence. In addition, having friends
who use alcohol is one of the strongest predictors of adolescent alcohol consumption and its
negative outcomes. The selection model posits that friends display similar alcohol
consumption when their friendships are formed on the basis of common characteristics as,
among others, personality. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the mediation role of
peers in the association between the five-factor model of personality and adolescent alcohol
use in two cultures. One hundred and twenty Scottish and 221 Spanish respondents, all aged
12-15 years, answered the Alcohol Intake Scale (AIS). Adolescents were asked about the
alcohol used at the weekend and also about the alcohol consumed by their friends. Scottish
adolescents’ personality was measured by the NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO–PI–3). The
Junior Spanish version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (JS NEO) was used to
assess personality in the Spanish sample. Low agreeableness and low conscientiousness
correlated with own alcohol quantity in both countries. We performed an independent
structural equation modeling for each country. Extraversion (β = .205, p < .05) and low
agreeableness (β = –.196, p < .01) for Scottish adolescents, and low conscientiousness (β = –
.175, p < .05) for Spanish youths, predicted alcohol use through peer alcohol consumption at
weekends. These findings support the relevance of personality traits and peer affiliation in
relation to alcohol consumption in adolescence. [-]
