Putting things in context: Longitudinal relations between drinking contexts, drinking motives, and negative alcohol consequences. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-07-13 Jack T Waddell,William R Corbin,Shane D Marohnic
Recent studies suggest that solitary (but not social) drinking may confer risk for negative alcohol consequences via beliefs about alcohol's ability to reduce tension, and explicit motivations to drink to cope with negative mood states. However, because prior studies are largely cross-sectional, it is unclear if tension reduction expectancies and drinking to cope are antecedents or consequences of

Gambler clusters and problem gambling severity: A cluster analysis of Swedish gamblers accessing an online problem gambling screener. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-07-02 Håkan Wall,Anne H Berman,Nitya Jayaram-Lindström,Clara Hellner,Ingvar Rosendahl
It has been proposed that overall gambling involvement has a stronger association with problem gambling (PG) than any specific game type. However, few studies have used multiple analytic approaches on the same data set to assess these relationships. The aims of the current study were to identify patterns of gambling activity (PGAs) and to assess the relationships between different game types, PGAs

Sensation seeking, impulsivity, and aggression moderate sex effects on adolescent laboratory binging. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-06-25 Elisabeth Obst,Nadine Bernhardt,Gabriela Gan,Martin H Plawecki,Sean O'Connor,Michael N Smolka,Ulrich S Zimmermann
Sex, comprising biological and gender-related distinctions, is a known risk factor for alcohol use disorders. Moreover, sensation seeking, impulsivity, and aggression have been found to predict binge drinking and to reflect behavioral disinhibition. We tested effects of these disinhibited traits on binging during intravenous alcohol self-administration (ivASA), a method that eliminates sex differences

Relations among religiosity, age of self-identification as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and alcohol use among college students. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 William R Corbin,Thai Q Ong,Charlie Champion,Kim Fromme
Research indicates that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth are at increased risk for heavy drinking relative to their heterosexual peers. One possible contributing factor is that religiosity fails to provide the significant protection for LGB youth that it provides in general population samples. Although prior studies provide some support for this hypothesis, there is little research on the reasons

Experiential avoidance and negative affect as predictors of daily drinking. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-05-01 Jason B Luoma,Benjamin Pierce,Michael E Levin
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

Reduced loss aversion and inhibitory control in adolescents with internet gaming disorder. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-05-01 Lingxiao Wang,Moqian Tian,Ya Zheng,Qi Li,Xun Liu
As adolescents are in a crucial developmental period, they are more susceptible than adults to Internet gaming disorder (IGD). The dual-system model proposed by Casey, Jones, and Hare (2008) emphasized the equal importance of reward-seeking and cognitive control systems in accounting for adolescents' risky behaviors. Considering that no study has simultaneously examined reward seeking (loss aversion

Negative affect, affect-related impulsivity, and receptive syringe sharing among people who inject drugs. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-04-23 Mary Ellen Mackesy-Amiti,Basmattee Boodram,Geri Donenberg
Receptive syringe sharing (RSS) among people who inject drugs (PWID) is a risk factor for hepatitis C virus and HIV infections. PWID with borderline personality disorder (BPD) have increased risk of RSS, but it remains unclear what drives this association. This study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to study characteristics associated with BPD, and RSS among PWID. We recruited PWID, ages

Drinking motives moderate daily-life associations between affect and alcohol use in individuals with borderline personality disorder. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-04-23 Andrea M Wycoff,Ryan W Carpenter,Johanna Hepp,Sean P Lane,Timothy J Trull
People often report drinking to cope with negative affect (NA) or to enhance positive affect (PA). However, findings from daily life studies examining the interaction of motives and affect to predict alcohol use are mixed. Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may be particularly susceptible to drinking for the purpose of changing affective states, representing a population in which

More behavioral recommendations produce more change: A meta-analysis of efficacy of multibehavior recommendations to reduce nonmedical substance use. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-04-20 Wenhao Dai,Ryan Palmer,Aashna Sunderrajan,Marta Durantini,Flor Sánchez,Laura R Glasman,Fan Xuan Chen,Dolores Albarracín
Death and morbidity associated with substance use have risen continuously over the last few decades, increasing the need for rigorous examination of promising programs. Interventions attempting to change multiple behaviors have been designed to address interconnected problems such as use of both alcohol and drugs. This meta-analysis aimed to examine the efficacy of multibehavior interventions to curb

Electronic cigarette dependence and demand among pod mod users as a function of smoking status. Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-04-16 Eleanor L S Leavens,Tracy T Smith,Noelle Natale,Matthew J Carpenter
Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use continues to proliferate with fast-paced product evolution. Pod mod e-cigarettes emerged in the market in 2015 and have changed the tobacco landscape again. However, little is known regarding their addiction potential among users. The current study describes e-cigarette dependence and demand among pod mod users as a function of smoking status (current smokers/dual

Does alcohol cue inhibitory control training survive a context shift? Psychology of Addictive Behaviors (IF 2.78) Pub Date : 2020-04-13 Andrew Jones, Laura Baines, Helen Ruddock, Ingmar Franken, Frederick Verbruggen, Matt Field
Inhibitory control training (ICT) is a novel psychological intervention that aims to improve inhibitory control in response to alcohol-related cues through associative learning. Laboratory studies have demonstrated reductions in alcohol consumption following ICT compared with control/sham training, but it is unclear if these effects are robust to a change of context. In a preregistered study, we examined
