“…Additionally, it is possible that our results tentatively suggest that emotion dysregulation does not lead to riskier adolescent drinking over time. Several recent publications have found little to no link between in-the-moment negative affect and subsequent substance use (Dora et al, 2022, Tovmasyan et al, 2022). Rather, results suggest a stronger link between positive affect and increased alcohol consumption (Dora et al, 2022, Tovmasyan et al, 2022).…”

Underage drinking is a serious public health concern with magnified physical and psychological risks. Previous research suggests that emotion dysregulation is one factor linked to alcohol use. Limited research has examined emotion dysregulation and alcohol use in adolescent populations, thus the present study aimed to examine the links by assessing the role of emotion dysregulation and its subscales in adolescent alcohol use over time. Participants were 695 high school students, with 309 students having completed Time 2 data collection at a 6-month follow-up. Participants completed measures that assessed Alcohol Use, Emotion Dysregulation, and Emotion Dysregulation subscales. In a negative binomial hurdle model, adolescents with greater emotion regulation difficulties at baseline had significantly greater odds of endorsing any alcohol use at baseline. Greater emotion dysregulation did not significantly predict drinking status or drinking level 6 months later when controlling for baseline alcohol use. Adolescents who reported greater emotional clarity difficulties at baseline were more likely to report any alcohol use at baseline. Among adolescents who drink, reporting greater difficulties accessing emotion regulation strategies was associated with greater alcohol use at baseline and 6 months later. These findings indicate that emotion dysregulation is a cross-sectional marker of alcohol use in adolescents; however, results did not show emotion dysregulation to be a prospective predictor of greater alcohol use. Future research is needed to replicate findings in a more diverse sample of adolescents.

“…We chose the scales given below for measuring the study constructs because they have been widely used in the extant literature, and their reliability and validity are well established (see: Galvin et al ., 2018; Fischer et al ., 2021; Tandon et al ., 2021; Tovmasyan et al ., 2022). The questionnaires were pre-tested with four academic experts and four doctoral students.…”

PurposeCyberloafing is an organization-directed counterproductive work behavior (CWB). One stream of literature deems cyberloafing to be bad for organizations and their employees, while another suggests cyberloafing is a coping response to stressful work events. Our work contributes to the latter stream of literature. The key objective of our study is to examine whether cyberloafing could be a means to cope with a stressful work event-abusive supervision, and if yes, what mediating and boundary conditions are involved. For this investigation, the authors leveraged the Stressor-Emotion-CWB theory which posits that individuals engage in CWB to cope with the negative affect generated by the stressors and that this relationship is moderated at the first stage by personality traits.Design/methodology/approachUsing a multi-wave survey design, the authors collected data from 357 employees working in an Indian IT firm. Results revealed support for three out of the four hypotheses.FindingsBased on the Stressor-Emotion-CWB theory, the authors found that work-related negative affect fully mediated the positive relationship between abusive supervision and cyberloafing, and work locus of control (WLOC) moderated the positive relationship between abusive supervision and work-related negative affect. The authors did not find any evidence of a direct relationship between abusive supervision and cyberloafing. Also, the positive indirect relationship between abusive supervision and cyberloafing through work-related negative affect was moderated at the first stage by the WLOC such that the indirect effect was stronger (weaker) at high (low) levels of WLOC.Originality/valueThis work demonstrates that cyberloafing could be a way for employees to cope with their abusive supervisors.

“…However, most studies have failed to find an association between negative affect and alcohol consumption (Emery & Simons, 2020; Fairlie et al, 2019; Howard et al, 2015; Stevenson et al, 2020), with a few finding that negative affect predicted decreased alcohol consumption (De Leon et al, 2020; Patrick et al, 2016). Two recent meta‐analyses have found that positive affect was associated with an increased likelihood of drinking, while negative affect was not (Dora et al, 2022; Tovmasyan et al, 2022). In sum, there appears to be more evidence in support of links between positive reinforcement risk factors (e.g., positive affect, enhancement and social motives) and alcohol use than for associations between negative reinforcement risk factors (e.g., negative affect, coping motives) and alcohol use.…”

BackgroundThe multistage model of drug addiction posits that risk processes contributing to alcohol use change as individuals develop alcohol use disorders. However, few studies have tested this theory outside of the lab or at the event level. We assessed whether event‐level associations between positive reinforcement (e.g., positive affect, sociability expectancies) and negative reinforcement risk factors (e.g., negative affect, tension reduction expectancies) and same‐/next‐day alcohol consumption varied as a function of an individual's level of alcohol consequences. Given elevated alcohol use consequences among individuals with post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and disruptions in reward processing that affect this population, we also tested whether these processes differed based on the presence and severity of PTSD.MethodsWe used data from a 30‐day ecological momentary assessment study with 174 undergraduate women who regularly engaged in heavy episodic drinking. A majority (78%) of the sample had experienced sexual assault and 44% had current PTSD. Analyses used Bayesian multilevel structural equation modeling with diffuse (non‐informative) priors. We used markov chain monte carlo (MCMC) algorithms to generate a series of 10,000 random draws from the multivariate posterior distribution of our sample for each model.ResultsResults partially supported the multistage model. Event‐level negative reinforcement risk factors only predicted more alcohol consumption among individuals who experienced more alcohol consequences. Findings for positive reinforcement risk factors were partially consistent with hypotheses. Overall, findings appear to operate similarly across PTSD symptom severity.ConclusionsResults suggest that interventions for heavy episodic drinking could benefit from attending to an individual's level of alcohol consequences. For example, preventive interventions for individuals who tend to experience few consequences may benefit more from addressing positive reinforcement risk factors, while treatment interventions for those who experience more consequences may benefit from attending to both positive and negative reinforcement.
