Our objective was to estimate the relationship between social cognition, personality variables and clinical symptoms as variable predictors of addictive behavior. The study included a total of 54 participants from different drug associations in Spain. Statistically significant differences in reaction time in emotional recognition were observed in happiness, disgust, sadness and anger. Significant differences were obtained, with the clinical group scoring lower for the empathy variable. In addition, differences were obtained in clinical variables, such as depression, anxiety, phobic anxiety, intensity of symptoms and psychic discomfort. A logistic regression model with previously significant variables accounted for 67% of variance. The predictive variables of the addictive behavior correspond to the reaction time to static emotion stimuli and the ability to put oneself in the place of another. metadata Parada, Pamela; Oliva-Macías, Mireia; Herrero-Fernández, David y Pérez-Fernández, Lucila M. mail pamela.parada@uneatlantico.es, mireia.oliva@uneatlantico.es, david.herrero@uneatlantico.es, lucila.perez@uneatlantico.es       (2020) Social cognition, personality dimensions and clinical symptoms as variable predictors in people with polydrug abuse in treatment.
