Ignoring issues of will power, people vary between being inward directed, and outward directed, and in how much of their sense of identity is hung on their appearance, and how much on more abstract ideas of personal value. Those who have never really thought about who they are, or their philosophy of life, may be more or less vulnerable. It is difficult to really tell until someone is put to the test. Some 'mentally tough' people might just shatter.
It is possible that role-players, who are used to thinking themselves into "other skins" might be more resistant to identity loss due to their shape being forcibly changed. Those who regard their gaming characters as just the means by which they're having fun in some game, likely less so. Maybe having role-played shape-shifters would help?
Catgirling someone with the sort of temper than inclines them to be a natural berserk could be a really, really, bad idea...
