Additionally, the trait of Non attachment which is a concept discussed extensively in\n Bhagavad Gita<\/jats:italic>\n is also studied along with\n Triguna<\/jats:italic>\n . Aims: The current study discusses these concepts and attempts to explore their relationship with personality and subjective well-being, among men with and without alcohol dependence.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Subjects and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A cross-sectional survey method was adopted, with a sample of 84 men from the community without alcohol dependence, screened through alcohol use disorders identification test and 30 men diagnosed with alcohol dependence. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n \n The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test, and Mann\u2013Whitney\n U<\/jats:italic>\n -test.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Men without alcohol dependence scored significantly higher on variables such as\n Sattva<\/jats:italic>\n , extraversion and conscientiousness, positive affect, and life satisfaction, than men in the clinical group. Men who were diagnosed with alcohol dependence, scored significantly higher on\n Tamas<\/jats:italic>\n , neuroticism, and negative affect.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n \n This novel understanding of the personality structure of patients with alcohol dependence from the\n Triguna<\/jats:italic>\n perspective may be helpful in the development of indigenous psychological interventions for alcohol dependence.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijoy.ijoy_128_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]],"date-time":"2023-01-15T23:38:01Z","timestamp":1673825881000},"page":"222-229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Men with and without Alcohol Dependence"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chandana","family":"Nedungottil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jyotsna","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahendra Prakash","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pratima","family":"Murthy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-7-20240903","first-page":"369","article-title":"Openness\/intellect: A dimension of personality reflecting cognitive exploration","volume":"4","author":"Deyoung","year":"2015","journal-title":"APA Handbook of Personality and Social Psychology: Personality Processes and Individual Differences"},{"key":"R3-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"880","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.93.5.880","article-title":"Between facets and domains: 10 aspects of the Big Five","volume":"93","author":"DeYoung","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Pers Soc Psychol"},{"key":"R6-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.psych.53.100901.135200","article-title":"Cultural influences on personality","volume":"53","author":"Triandis","year":"2002","journal-title":"Annu Rev Psychol"},{"key":"R9-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1379","DOI":"10.2466\/pr0.1999.84.3c.1379","article-title":"A psychometric analysis of the three gunas","volume":"84","author":"Wolf","year":"1999","journal-title":"Psychol Rep"},{"key":"R11-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajp.2016.09.001","article-title":"Cross-cultural differences on Gunas and other well-being dimensions","volume":"24","author":"Singh","year":"2016","journal-title":"Asian J Psychiatr"},{"key":"R12-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.4103\/2347-5633.157888","article-title":"Relationship between Triguna theory and well-being indicators","volume":"1","author":"Khanna","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Yoga Philos Psychol Parapsychol"},{"key":"R13-7-20240903","first-page":"2016","article-title":"Sattwa, Rajas & Tamas (SRT) factors in depression","volume":"3","author":"Kumar","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Indian Psychol"},{"key":"R14-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"388","DOI":"10.1007\/s12646-012-0167-5","article-title":"Sattva, Rajas and Tamas factors and quality of life in patients with anxiety disorders: A preliminary investigation","volume":"57","author":"Sharma","year":"2012","journal-title":"Psychol Stud"},{"key":"R16-7-20240903","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.1080\/00223890903425960","article-title":"A scale to measure nonattachment: A Buddhist complement to Western research on attachment and adaptive functioning","volume":"92","author":"Sahdra","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Pers Assess"},{"key":"R17-7-20240903","first-page":"2012","article-title":"Overcoming female subordination.
