“…Addicts reported significantly higher levels of negative moods (stress, anxiety, depression, as assessed by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, or DASS; Lovibond & Lovibond, 2002), more intense moods (as assessed by the Affect Intensity Measure, or AIM; Larsen, 1984), and lower NMR expectancies (assessed by the NMR scale; Catanzaro & Mearns) compared to non-addict controls. The findings were consistent with the notion that inherently poor NMR promotes substance abuse as a means of coping with affective distress (Catanzaro & Laurent, 2004;Kassel, Jackson & Unrod, 2000). However, given recent evidence that addiction can induce persistent negative mood states such as depression and anhedonia due to chronic drug-induced alterations of brain dopamine systems (Goldstein & Volkow, 2002;Koob & LeMoal, 2001), an alternative interpretation is that the emotional dysregulation reported by addicts in Thorberg and Lyvers' study was a result, rather than predisposing cause, of their substance disorder.…”

“…Individuals in this age group may be more sensitive to the lack of, or perceived lack of, social relationships, and this distress may lead to increased alcohol use. Individuals who are socially lonely may engage in more recreational alcohol use in an attempt to forge new social bonds, and may drink in social settings as a means to increase their positive emotions [87,88].The current study supported the idea that attachment avoidance predicts level of alcohol and drug use over and above personality, anxiety, and depression. An emerging body of research has investigated substance use within the context of adult attachment, and the nature of this relationship has been explored in the literature [89][90][91].…”

transition to university/college [20][21][22][23]. Past research on loneliness has revealed that a large portion of the young adult population is frequently lonely [24,25], and more recent prevalence rates for loneliness range from 20% to 30% [26,27]. Individuals manage feelings of loneliness in different ways, and these coping strategies can have a significant influence on behavioural outcomes.Coping is commonly defined as a process which includes cognitive and behavioural efforts to manage external or internal stimuli that are appraised as demanding or beyond the resources of the individual [28][29][30]. Researchers generally categorize coping strategies based on the function of coping efforts. Zuckerman and Gagne [31] proposed a 5-factor model of coping, where adaptive coping is represented by self-help, approach, and accommodation; while maladaptive coping is represented by avoidance and self-punishment [31]. Individuals develop characteristic coping strategies early in childhood and it is suggested that attachment patterns may help explain individual differences in coping strategies. Insecure attachment has been consistently related to maladaptive coping strategies such as withdrawal, avoidance, emotionminimizing, repression, and diversion [32,33]. Adaptive coping strategies have been linked to fewer externalizing problems in adults, while maladaptive coping efforts have been linked to both emotional and behavioural problems [34,35].Research has reported a significant increase in substance use in young adults during the 21 st century [36][37][38]. Alcohol is a particularly AbstractPrimary affective bonds are integral to forming successful close adult relationships and an inadequate sense of belongingness can lead to loneliness. Loneliness and insecure attachment have been consistently related to negative behavioural outcomes, such as substance use which is often used as a means to cope with negative emotions The goal of this study was to examine whether coping may moderate the relationship between attachment security, loneliness, and substance use. Two hundred and nine (209) young adults (18-30 years of age) completed self-report questionnaires measuring attachment security, loneliness, coping style, and level of substance use. In the current sample, 60.3% of participants met the criteria for alcohol misuse and 48.3% met the criteria for drug misuse. Results showed that higher levels of chronic social loneliness predicted higher levels of substance use (p =0. 029), but coping did not moderate this relationship. Higher attachment avoidance predicted higher levels of substance use (p<0.001), while adaptive coping moderated this relationship (p=0.001). Since adaptive coping skills may buffer avoidant individuals against substance misuse, it may be useful for substance use interventions to be tailored, such that avoidant individuals are taught coping skills that promote greater awareness of internal states and lessen feelings of interpersonal distress.Citation: MacNeill LP, DiTommaso E, Brunelle C (2016) [39...

“…One possibility is that low NMR may promote substance abuse as a means of coping with affective distress (Catanzaro & Laurent, 2004). Reduction of negative affect is a major reason cited for using alcohol and drugs (Johnston & O'Malley, 1986;Newcomb et al, 1988) and high negative affect is related to consuming greater amounts of drugs and alcohol (Colder & Chassin, 1993;Krueger et al, 1996;Wills et al, 1999).…”

“…Catanzaro and Laurent (2004) found that in adolescents, NMR expectancies were negatively correlated with the use of drinking as a coping mechanism, which in turn was positively related to problematic drinking. Further, individuals with stronger NMR expectancies had weaker beliefs that alcohol has tension reducing effects -an expectancy related to greater and more problematic drinking.…”
