Abstract:

Previous research has shown a large genetic influence over personality traits, especially sensation seeking. One gene thought to influence this behavioural trait is the dopamine-4-receptor gene (DRD4), in which variants have been associated with sensation seeking and novelty seeking in some, but not all studies. The inconsistencies between studies may be due to heterogeneity in both the behaviours and the populations being assessed. Some studies included only males and few studies have a priori analyzed males and females separately. SS has been associated with high-risk sports, including s

Abstract:

Sensation seeking involves a desire to seek out thrilling experiences and a willingness to take risks in exchange for rewards. Sensation seekers are drawn to risky activities and high-risk sports represent potentially positive outlets for such individuals. Sensation seeking is moderately heritable and variants in genes involved in dopaminergic transmission have been associated with sensation-seeking phenotypes, although no studies have investigated personality and genetic variants in high-risk sport practitioners. This interdisciplinary dissertation explores personality (general sensation s

Abstract:

Les contrevenants de la conduite avec capacités affaiblies (CCA) n’entrent pas tous dans les registres de la sécurité routière avec le même risque de récidive. Pour pallier cette hétérogénéité, cette thèse propose de modéliser les interrelations entre les traits de personnalité et les comportements à risque associés à la récidive et de détecter un sous-groupe de contrevenants au risque de récidive élevé à l’aide de l’axe hypothalamo-hypophyso-surrénalien (HHS). Plus particulièrement, les trois articles de cette thèse s’intéressent au cortisol, l’hormone du stress. Le premier article élabore
