“…However, problems arising from both interpersonal difficulties and heavy drinking may be ameliorated by targeting improvements in cognitive reappraisal. Cognitive reappraisal is an integral component in both cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing (e.g., Goldin et al, 2012; Morgenstern et al, 2012) It has been shown to be useful in decreasing engagement with alcohol in young adult populations (Brady, Tschann, Pasch, Flores, & Ozer, 2009; Norberg et al, 2016). There are many benefits to web-based, self-directed interventions for college drinking, particularly if they are adaptable to focus on specific skills such as cognitive reappraisal.…”

Research has shown links between interpersonal conflict and problematic drinking behaviors as a way to cope. The present research examined the effects of a brief interpersonal conflict cognitive reappraisal intervention on short-term reductions in alcohol-related problems in a sample of college student drinkers. Undergraduates who were regular drinkers (N = 190) participated in a randomized control online study, completing self-reported measures of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems at baseline and 2 weeks later. After completing the baseline survey, participants completed a brief writing intervention during which they were asked to reflect on a recent interpersonal conflict and write about it from 1 of 3 possible perspectives, 2 of which were targeting cognitive reappraisal (i.e., a neutral, third-party perspective and the other party’s perspective), their own perspective, or to reflect on their activities that day (control). Results from negative binomial regression models supported both reappraisal conditions: Compared with control, those who thought about the conflict from a neutral third-party perspective and those who thought about the conflict from the other party’s perspective reported significantly fewer drinking problems at follow-up. Results from this study suggest preliminary efficacy of a single-session writing intervention aimed at reappraising interpersonal conflict.

“…Thus, investigations of similar relations among diverse populations of young adult alcohol users is important to determine how pregaming confers risk to populations beyond college students. Finally, the present study rested on the assumption that pregaming was indicative of positive reinforcement based on past literature (e.g., Bachrach et al, 2012; Calhoun & Linden-Carmichael, 2022; Norberg et al, 2016), but future research is needed to test the extent to which acute subjective reward plays a role in relations among pregaming, drinking behavior, and impulsivity.…”

Pregaming represents a uniquely high-risk drinking event for young adults, and subfacets of impulsivity are robust predictors of alcohol use and related negative outcomes. Further, it is likely that pregame events contain social and physical stimuli that are particularly appealing for impulsive individuals, thus exacerbating risk for negative outcomes. However, no prior studies have investigated the extent to which impulsive personality traits interact with pregame events to confer alcohol-related risk. Thus, the present study examined the extent to which UPPS-P (urgency-perseverance-premeditation-sensation seekingpositive urgency) subfacets of impulsivity interact with the occurrence of pregaming to predict relations between pregaming, drinking quantity, and negative alcohol-related outcomes. College students (N = 737) completed a modified, online version of the 30-day Timeline Followback in which they reported drinking quantity, negative consequences, and whether they engaged in pregaming on a given day. Results indicated that sensation seeking and a lack of premeditation moderated relations between pregaming and drinking quantity such that those who are higher in sensation seeking and lower in their ability to plan ahead drank more on pregaming days. Sensation seeking and positive urgency moderated relations between pregaming and negative consequences such that those who are higher in positive urgency experience more consequences on pregaming days whereas those who are higher in sensation seeking experience less consequences. Future studies may benefit from more granular assessments of pregame-related risk as subfacets of impulsivity may confer momentary risk. Prevention efforts targeting the reduction of pregaming frequency, particularly among impulsive individuals, may lower overall risk for heavy drinking.

“…In addition to ER more broadly, ER strategies have been examined in relation to psychopathology. This research has found, for instance, that habitual use of expressive suppression is positively related and habitual use of cognitive reappraisal is negatively related to depression (Gross & John, 2003), anxiety (McLean et al, 2007), eating disorders (McLean et al, 2007), and substance use (Norberg et al, 2016). Studies also reveal differential associations between ER strategies and specific psychopathologies.…”

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with difficulties in emotion regulation (ER) abilities. Investigations of ER strategies in BPD have been less robust. This systematic review identified 55 studies comparing ER strategy use between individuals diagnosed with BPD versus psychiatric and non‐psychiatric comparison groups. Individuals with BPD reported more frequent maladaptive and less frequent adaptive ER strategy use than non‐psychiatric controls. Results were less consistent relative to psychiatric comparison groups, though individuals with BPD reported greater self‐criticism and avoidance. Groups responded comparably to instructed use of adaptive (but not maladaptive) ER strategies. This body of research would benefit from further examination of the roles of psychiatric comorbidity and problematic behaviours in the relationship between BPD and ER strategies.
