“…Results first revealed that high BAS FS was related to higher alcohol consumption, indicating that youngsters who seek and approach rewarding and sensational experiences (i.e., BAS FS) will consume more alcohol. This is consistent with earlier evidence revealing associations of BAS FS with alcohol use in college students and adolescents (e.g., O'Connor et al 2009;Willem et al 2010). Second, high NA was related to higher alcohol-related consequences in the regression analysis, but was negatively correlated with alcohol consumption, which is a rather inconsistent finding.…”

“…Second, the internal consistency of the BAS FS scale was rather low. However, an internal consistency of .45 of the BAS FS scale is comparable with other studies Willem et al 2010). In addition, it is important to note that we found an effect of BAS FS despite this lower internal consistency, which should be expected to reduce statistical power.…”

“…However, because there were not enough participants who reported substances other than alcohol as their favorite, we decided to focus only on motives for drinking alcohol.2 We used the BAS Fun Seeking scale, because this variable is more similar to sensation seeking and impulsivity, whereas the other BAS constructs, BAS drive and BAS reward responsiveness, are more related to reward dependenceFranken and Muris 2006). Furthermore, previous studies have shown that especially BAS fun seeking is an important predictor of alcohol use in adolescence (e.g.,Willem et al 2010).…”

The present study investigated the associations between temperamental reactivity, drinking motives, alcohol consumption and alcohol-related consequences. Furthermore, it investigated whether drinking motives mediate the relations between temperamental reactivity and the alcohol use variables. The sample consisted of 188 adolescents (64.9% boys) between the ages of 13-20 years (M age 016.9, SD01.32). Results revealed that the temperament factors of high BAS fun seeking and high negative affectivity were related to alcohol consumption and alcohol-related consequences respectively. Furthermore, high social and enhancement motives and low conformity motives were associated with alcohol consumption, whereas high coping-depression motives were associated with alcohol-related consequences. Finally, the relation between BAS fun seeking and alcohol consumption was mediated by enhancement and social motives and the association between negative affectivity and alcohol-related consequences was mediated by copingdepression motives. These results highlight the importance of focusing on temperament profiles and their associated drinking motives in the prevention and intervention of alcohol use problems among adolescents.

“…Previous research provides some insight into the other variables that could be influencing the relationship between effortful control and substance use. For example, 2 studies found that the association between effortful control and alcohol use was dependent on other risk factors, including exposure to a 'substance using lifestyle' (encompassing personal and peer involvement with alcohol [12] ); and reward responsiveness [39] . In both studies, no direct effect of effortful control on alcohol use was evident, but moderating effects were reported; according to these reports, low effortful control was a risk factor among adolescents with minimal exposure to alcohol use and adolescents with high reward responsiveness.…”

Orbitofrontal Cortex Volume and Effortful Control as Prospective Risk Factors for Substance Use Disorder in Adolescence

et al. 2016

Background: Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) dysfunction has been proposed to increase the risk for developing a substance use disorder (SUD) during adolescence. In this study, we suggest that a reduction in OFC volumes might underlie temperament-based risk factors for SUD, and examined whether smaller OFC volumes during early adolescence could predict later development of SUD. Methods and Materials: Adolescents (n = 107; 58 male, 49 female) underwent structural MRI and completed a self-report measure of temperamental effortful control at age 12. At 3 subsequent assessments (aged 15, 16, and 18) SUD was assessed via a semi-structured clinical interview. By the third assessment, 24 participants (22.4%) had received a lifetime diagnosis of SUD. Results: Smaller volumes of the left OFC, right OFC, and left medial subregions predicted lifetime history of SUD by age 18. Volumes of the left OFC and left lateral subregions were positively correlated with effortful control, and left OFC volumes mediated the relationship between effortful control and SUD. Conclusions: Smaller volumes of the OFC and low effortful control during adolescence appear to be associated phenotypes that increase the risk of subsequent SUD. Further studies examining the temporal sequence of these risk factors are needed to fully understand this relationship.

“…However, the childhood temperament literature (4,5) suggested that such problematic outcomes may be particular to stressreactive individuals who are not able to regulate their reactivity due to poor executive skills-termed "low effortful control" in this literature. Support for variants of this interactive risk model has recently been found in studies of internalizing and externalizing problems (6), biases to attend to threatening information (7,8), and extensions of the model have also proven effective in predicting alcohol and cannabis use (9,10).…”
