Aims Negative urgency, which refers to the tendency to act rashly when experiencing intense negative emotions, consistently serves as a robust predictor of problem drinking and other maladaptive behaviors. However, very little is known about the factors that influence the development of negative urgency itself. Although urgency theory suggests that environment and temperament interact to increase risk for the development of urgency, few studies, to date, have examined environmental risk for urgency. Method In a cross-sectional sample of 518 adults recruited from Amazon Mturk, the current study began the investigation of the role of childhood maladaptive emotion socialization (MES) in risk for negative urgency and the possibility that negative urgency mediates the relationship between MES and problem drinking via self-report measures completed online. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results Individual differences in childhood MES, reported retrospectively, did predict increased present-day negative urgency. In addition, results were consistent with the possibility that negative urgency mediates the relationship between MES and problem drinking when considered concurrently with trait negative affect. Conclusions Successful identification of early environmental predictors of negative urgency may provide useful targets for intervention efforts aimed at reducing or preventing the development of negative urgency and, subsequently, problem drinking. Further longitudinal investigations are needed to better examine these processes as they develop.

适应不良的情绪社交是产生消极紧迫感和随后的饮酒问题的危险因素

目标 负面紧迫感是指在经历强烈负面情绪时鲁莽行事的倾向，它始终是酗酒问题和其他适应不良行为的有力预测因素。然而，人们对影响负面紧迫感本身发展的因素知之甚少。尽管紧迫性理论表明，环境和气质相互作用，会增加紧迫性发展的风险，但迄今为止，很少有研究探讨紧迫性的环境风险。方法 在亚马逊 Mturk 招募的 518 名成年人的横断面样本中，当前的研究开始调查儿童适应不良情绪社会化 (MES) 在消极紧迫感风险中的作用，以及消极紧迫感介导 MES 与问题之间关系的可能性通过在线完成的自我报告措施饮酒。使用结构方程模型分析数据。结果 回顾性报道，儿童 MES 的个体差异确实预示着当今消极紧迫感的增加。此外，当与负面特质情感同时考虑时，结果与负紧迫性介导 MES 和问题饮酒之间关系的可能性是一致的。结论 成功识别负面紧迫感的早期环境预测因子可能为旨在减少或防止负面紧迫感以及随后的饮酒问题的发展的干预措施提供有用的目标。需要进一步的纵向调查来更好地检查这些过程的发展。
