Abstract
The links between temperamental characteristics and medication adherence we re explored in subjects with psychotic (n = 45) or mood disorders (n = 58). Temperamental characteristics were measured using the Sensation-Seeking Sc ale (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 medicat ion adherence.
