People who drink alcohol to cope with negative affect tend to drink more and experience more frequent negative alcohol-related consequences. Experiential avoidance-the tendency to avoid, suppress, or otherwise attempt to control unwanted inner experiences-is a largely pathological process that may help account for how negative affect is linked to increased alcohol consumption. However, research to-date has typically used global, trait-like measures, which limit our understanding of the conditions under which experiential avoidance is problematic. The current study tested both between-person (trait) and within-person (daily) variation in experiential avoidance and negative affect as predictors of solitary and social drinking in a sample of 206 adult drinkers who completed daily diaries for 21 days. Participants higher in trait experiential avoidance drank alone more often, whereas those higher in trait negative affect consumed greater quantities when drinking alone. Although daily fluctuations in experiential avoidance did not predict solitary drinking, there was a significant interaction between daily experiential avoidance and trait negative affect. For participants high in trait negative affect, greater experiential avoidance on a given day predicted consuming more when drinking alone. For participants low in trait negative affect, greater experiential avoidance on a given day predicted drinking alone more often, but consuming fewer drinks on these occasions. Experiential avoidance did not predict social drinking in any model. Overall, results suggest that a broader tendency to experience negative affect sets the context for experiential avoidance to be linked to more harmful patterns of drinking.

经验回避和负面影响作为日常饮酒的预测指标。

喝酒以应对负面影响的人往往会喝得更多，并且更频繁地经历与酒精相关的负面后果。经验性回避——避免、压制或以其他方式试图控制不想要的内心体验的倾向——在很大程度上是一种病理过程，可能有助于解释负面影响与饮酒量增加之间的关系。然而，迄今为止的研究通常使用全局的、类似特质的措施，这限制了我们对经验性回避问题的条件的理解。目前的研究在 206 名完成每日日记 21 天的成年饮酒者样本中测试了人与人之间（特质）和人内（日常）经验回避和负面影响的变化，作为单独和社交饮酒的预测因素。特质体验回避较高的参与者更经常单独饮酒，而特质负面影响较高的参与者单独饮酒时饮酒量更大。尽管经验回避的日常波动并不能预测单独饮酒，但日常经验回避与特质负面影响之间存在显着的相互作用。对于特质负面影响高的参与者，在给定的一天更多的经验回避预示着单独饮酒时会消耗更多。对于特质负面影响较低的参与者，在某一天的更大的经验回避预示着更频繁地单独饮酒，但在这些场合喝更少的酒。在任何模型中，经验性回避都不能预测社交饮酒。总体，结果表明，经历负面影响的更广泛倾向将体验性回避与更有害的饮酒模式联系起来。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
