Abstract

Individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) face significant challenges at personal, familial, and social levels. Temperament and character traits play a key role in addictive behaviors, yet their relationship with music preferences in these patients has rarely been examined. This study explores the relationship between temperament-character traits and music preferences in AUD or SUD patients.
