Summary:The purpose of this study was to investigate possible personality differences between caffeine users and non users. Caffeine users (n=74) and caffeine non users (n=31) were compared on (a) psychological needs, as measured by the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, (b) self description and (c) academic achievement in high school and college because these measures have shown to discriminate between users an non users of tobacco. The results indicate that the caffeine users and non users in this study did not differ on the personality measures used.
