TL;DR
To determine the relationship between Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) scales and bulimia nervosa, TPQ scores of 27 bulimic women were compared with values for an age-matched sample of 128 normal control women drawn from the national norming sample by Przybeck.
Abstract
To determine the relationship between Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) scales and bulimia nervosa, TPQ scores of 27 bulimic women, age range 21-59, were compared with values for an age-matched sample of 128 normal control women drawn from the national norming sample by Przybeck. Scores for Novelty Seeking and Harm Avoidance were significantly higher, while scores for Reward Dependence were significantly lower for the bulimic women. A stepwise regression model of severity of purging on TPQ selected Novelty Seeking and a composite depression score, with Novelty Seeking being the stronger of the two predictors. Whole blood serotonin levels did not relate to TPQ scores or to purging frequency.

The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.

The Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire is a self-report personality inventory measuring three major personality dimensions: Novelty Seeking, Harm Avoidance, and Reward Dependence.

The Inventory for Depressive Symptomatology appears applicable to both inpatients and outpatients with endogenous, atypical, and nonendogenous major depression, and may have utility with dysthymics.

The results of these studies suggest that reduced overall central 5‐HT function in the limbic‐hypothalamic system is associated with suicidal and/or impulsive aggressive behaviors in patients with major mood and/ or personality disorders and that diminished 5-HT post‐synaptic receptor function in this brain region may be an important biological correlate of these behaviors.

Hospitalized bulimic patients with a history of binge eating more frequently than twice daily had significantly lower CSF concentrations of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid, and levels of both metabolites were significantly inversely correlated with binge frequency.

The data suggest that large portions of personality and/or behavior, e.g., higher order dimensions of Novelty Seeking and Reward Dependence, can be relatively independent from current mood, and the Harm Avoidance dimension covaries with mood and anxiety.

It is found that self-reported Personality Disorder (PD) diagnoses are not stable enduring characteristics among this group of eating disorder patients and should be interpreted with caution in acutely symptomatic patients with eating disorders.

Using the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire, significantly less novelty-seeking behavior is found in Parkinson's disease patients than in matched controls, but no differences between groups in behaviors thought to be dependent on serotonin and norepinephrine.

There was evidence of convergent validity for Cluster II traits and disorders (borderline, histrionic, narcissistic), insofar as these diagnoses were associated with higher scores on the novelty-seeking subscale of the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire as predicted.
