“…The results are consistent with the theoretical assumption that individuals high in NA have a greater risk of becoming heavy drinkers because they drink to cope with negative emotions . The results are also consistent with previous longitudinal studies of adolescents and young adults . This suggests that both young and older people may drink alcohol to reduce negative emotions or to cope with negative thoughts and emotions .…”

“…Most previous empirical studies that have investigated the relationship between affectivity and alcohol consumption have studied adolescents and university students. Several studies have found a moderate relationship between NA and alcohol consumption among adolescents and among university students . The relation between PA and alcohol use among young people appears unclear.…”

“…Young people who feel a need for excitement and new experiences and/or who have problems with self-control may be more likely to take part in EHD. Also, some adolescents (and older people) who feel depressed or have persistent high levels of negative affectivity are motivated to drink to seek distraction or to reduce negative emotions (Brunborg, in press; Cheetham, Allen, Yücel, & Lubman, 2010; Colder & Chassin, 1997; Shoal, Gudonis, Giancola, & Tarter, 2008). Finally, and interestingly, we found lower likelihood of EHD for adolescents with greater peer relationship problems.…”

frequency and quantity of social media use. Frequency of drinking four or six (girls and boys, respectively) alcoholic drinks during a single day (episodic heavy drinking). The MacArthur Scale of Subjective Social Status, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale - Brief, the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 items for Adolescents, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire Peer Relationship problems scale, gender, and school grade. Results Greater amount of time spent on social media was associated with greater likelihood of episodic heavy drinking among adolescents ( OR = 1.12, 95% CI (1.05, 1.19), p = 0.001), even after adjusting for school grade, impulsivity, sensation seeking, symptoms of depression, and peer relationship problems. Conclusion The results from the current study indicate that more time spent on social media is related to greater likelihood of episodic heavy drinking among adolescents.

“…Findings support a modest relationship between alcohol consumption and the presence of negative affect (e.g., anxiety, depression; Hussong, Galloway, & Feagans, 2005; Hussong, Hicks, Levy, & Curran, 2001). However, the ability to cope with an event has been found to moderate the relationship between affect and alcohol use, specifically in the context of unpleasant affect (Cooper et al, 1995; Dermody, Cheong, & Manuck, 2013; Schuckit, Smith, & Chacko, 2006; Shoal, Gudonis, Giancola, & Tarter, 2008). That is, the less skilled an individual is at regulating negative emotions, the more likely the individual will use alcohol as means to temporarily relieve the negative experience.…”

The Relationship Between Psychological Distress, Negative Cognitions, and Expectancies on Problem Drinking

Few studies have sought to understand the concurrent relationship between cognitive and affective processes on alcohol use and negative alcohol-related consequences, despite both being identified as predictive risk factors in the college population. More research is needed to understand the relationships between identified factors of problem drinking among this at-risk population. The purpose of this study was to test if the relationship between psychological distress and problem drinking among university students (N = 284; M̄age = 19.77) was mediated by negative affect regulation strategies and positive alcohol-related expectancies. Two latent mediation models of problem drinking were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The parsimonious three-path mediated latent model was supported by the data, as evidenced by several model fit indices. Furthermore, the alternate saturated model provided similar fit to the data, but contained several direct relationships that were not statistically significant. The relationship between psychological distress and problem drinking was mediated by an extended contributory chain, including negative affect regulation and positive alcohol-related expectancies. Implications for prevention and treatment, as well as future directions, are discussed.
