A multimodal investigation of contextual effects on alcohol’s emotional rewards.

Abstract: Regular alcohol consumption in unfamiliar social settings has been linked to problematic drinking. A large body of indirect evidence has accumulated to suggest that alcohol's rewarding emotional effects-both negative-mood relieving and positive-mood enhancing-will be magnified when alcohol is consumed within unfamiliar versus familiar social contexts. But empirical research has never directly examined links between contextual familiarity and alcohol reward. In the current study, we mobilized novel ambulatory t… Show more

“…2). In unfamiliar or uneasy social situations, alcohol is used to reduce anxiety 117 and to supply an emotional reward 118 ; however, victimisation by others in social situations may trigger alcohol misuse 119,120 . Further, the perception of severe verbal abuse was associated with increased smartphone addiction more so than other ‘verbal abuse-depressive mood-anxiety-social interaction’ patterns (Fig.…”

“…[8,12,24]), and has been used in alcohol related consumption and behavioral studies. Indeed, in [19] drinking patterns in individuals with and without alcohol metabolizing genetic variants were investigated, and in [13] TAC sensors together with our algorithms and software are used to convert the TAC data collected in the field to eBrAC in order to investigate the relationship between social familiarity and alcohol reward in naturalistic drinking settings and compared this to alcohol reward observed in laboratory drinking settings. However, the results of these preliminary studies using this technology also indicate that some of the dynamics of the system are not being captured by the models.…”
