Comorbid alcohol use and depression have the highest prevalence among emerging adults and are associated with a number of consequences. Self-medication theory posits individuals with depression use alcohol to cope with their negative emotions. Preliminary work has investigated the social context of depression-related drinking and found that solitary drinking is a risky, atypical behaviour in emerging adulthood that is associated with alcohol misuse. However, it is unknown about what is unfolding in the moment that is driving depression-related drinking in solitary contexts. Accordingly, we used an experimental study to examine if shame mediated the association between depression and in-lab alcohol craving.

抑郁的新兴成年人酒精渴望的羞耻和孤独的风险因素。

合并饮酒和抑郁症在新兴成年人中的患病率最高，并与许多后果有关。自我药疗理论假定抑郁症患者使用酒精来应对他们的负面情绪。初步工作调查了与抑郁症相关的饮酒的社会背景，发现单独饮酒是与酒精滥用有关的新兴成年期的一种危险的、非典型的行为。然而，目前尚不清楚在孤独环境中导致抑郁相关饮酒的原因。因此，我们使用了一项实验研究来检查羞耻感是否介导了抑郁症和实验室内酒精渴望之间的关联。
