HIGH-RISK TANNING BEHAVIORS, ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DEPENDENCE, AND RESPONSES TO THE ADDICTION POTENTIAL SCALE IN UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATES

We investigated the utility of the Addiction Potential Scale (APS, a supplementary scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2) to assess ultraviolet light (UVL) dependence in a sample of 145 volunteer first-year undergraduates attending a private university in the southeastern United...

description We investigated the utility of the Addiction Potential Scale (APS, a supplementary scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2) to assess ultraviolet light (UVL) dependence in a sample of 145 volunteer first-year undergraduates attending a private university in the southeastern United States. We sought to assess relationships between responses to the APS, the modified CAGE Questionnaire, and modified DSM-IV-TR criteria for UVL dependence. The three previously published and validated questionnaires listed above were administered, and responses were compared using Wilcoxon rank sum tests. A high rate of tanning was reported by females in the sample. Female tanners who provided three or more affirmative responses to the modified DSM-IV-TR questions had significantly higher APS T-scores than those who did not. The APS may have utility in the identification of UVL dependence in undergraduate samples.
