Influence of Individual Traits on Adaptation Processes in Individuals With Alcohol Use Disorder
This study aims to understand how individual qualities, such as anxiety, self-esteem, or how people react to rewards, influence how those with alcohol use disorder (AUD) adapt their behaviour. AUD can make it hard to make decisions and adjust to new situations. Participants receiving usual care at Paul Brousse Hospital will complete a 45-minute session. This involves a computer task where they learn and respond to visual cues, and answer questions about their personality and thinking skills. This research doesn't change their medical care and involves no medicines. It hopes to improve our understanding of AUD and mental health.
Em resumo
Sobre o que é este estudo?
This study is about understanding how people with an alcohol use disorder (often called AUD) think and adapt to new situations. AUD can make it tricky for some people to make decisions and change their behaviour, especially when things are uncertain or unexpected. Researchers believe that certain personal qualities, like how anxious someone is, their self-esteem, how sensitive they are to rewards or punishments, their level of perfectionism, or their ability to think clearly, might play a part in how they adapt.
The main goal of this research is to get a clearer picture of how these personal traits influence someone's ability to adjust their actions, particularly when the 'rules' of a situation change. By better understanding these connections, scientists hope to learn more about the thinking and behaviour patterns involved in AUD.
This knowledge could be really useful. It won't directly change a person's treatment now, but it could help guide future research into addiction and mental health, potentially leading to better ways to support people in the long run.

O que envolve a participação?
If you decide to take part in this study, you won't need to change your current medical care. There are no medications or special treatments involved. You will have one visit to Paul Brousse Hospital, which will last about 45 minutes.
During this single session, you'll do two main things: first, a computer task where you respond to images and get feedback. This task is designed to see how you learn and adapt when things change. Second, you'll fill out some questionnaires. These will ask about your personality traits, like anxiety or self-esteem, and how well you perform certain thinking tasks. After this one session, your involvement in the study will be complete.
