Delusions and their relation with temperament and character in psychotic patients. Recent studies have investigated the relationship between personality traits and symptomatology in schizophrenia. The aim of this study is to investigate whether Cloninger's dimensional personality traits are related to psychotic delusional symptomatology. In the study, we include a sample of 105 patients with DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder. Delusions were evaluated by the SCAN interview. Our results suggest that some personality traits may contribute to heterogeneity in the presentation of psychotic positive delusional disorder congruent with affective symptoms. Thus, Harm Avoidance would be related to delusions that course with a depressive state and Novelty Seeking to those concurrent with an expansive affectivity.
