“…Students talked about using alcohol in social situations, which was also seen in prior research showing the value of alcohol as a social connector (Brown & Murphy, 2020;Wamboldt et al, 2019). For some students, the alcohol helped with the "vibe," and for others, it served as a social lubricant, a way to manage social anxieties, which was confirmed in other studies (Brown & Murphy, 2020;Crawford et al, 2022). Participants also talked about ADHD and its role in alcohol use, supporting research that suggests some students who have ADHD (Haardörfer et al, 2021;Mochrie et al, 2020) and are more impulsive and sensation-seeking as engaging in more risky drinking (Krieger et al, 2018;Kuntsche et al, 2017;Lee & Park, 2020).…”

<i>Alcohol misuse on college campuses has been shown to be the cause of physical, socio-emotional, and academic harms. Alcohol is also an issue at Gallaudet University but there is a gap in the literature describing this phenomenon. Using the social ecological model, this qualitative case study explored student perceptions and experiences with alcohol use through interviews with 24 deaf and hard of hearing college students at Gallaudet University. The main themes included: something to do, isolation, coping, communication, “playing catch up with life,” belonging, peer pressure, and university dynamics. The results of this study supported the research on alcohol use in the college environment, showing these themes to also be true at Gallaudet University. As a result, researchers recommend for Gallaudet University and other institutions use the education and interventions shown to be effective in the College Alcohol Intervention Matrix with deaf and hard of hearing students. Researchers also identified themes that were divergent from general college students and specific to the experience of being deaf and hard of hearing. This study highlighted the interpersonal level impact and importance of communication with alcohol and related harms. Researchers recommend further research on the spectrum of communication isolation on alcohol use, related harms, and the social-ecological impact of these experiences. In addition, researchers recommend programming and services to specifically address the issues that occur as a result of isolation, coping challenges, desire to belong, susceptibility to peer pressure, and wanting to catch up on life. It is hoped that the insights gained from this study will be used to inform interventions for deaf and hard of hearing college students, to reduce alcohol misuse, and thus to impact positive change.</i>

“…This may be especially pertinent as health messages that highlight the negative health outcomes can be minimised or ignored altogether [ 24 ]. This may be due to ambivalence towards the negative outcomes, which can be rationalised as an expected part of a drinking episode or the ‘price of a good time’ [ 25 – 27 ].…”

Background Digital interventions readily permit data capture of participant engagement with them. If future interventions are intended to be more interactive, tailored, or a useful resource offered to users, it may be valuable to examine such data. One module available in a digital alcohol intervention recently tested in a randomised control trial offered participants the opportunity to self-author prompts that were sent to them by a text message at a time of their choosing. This study thus aimed to evaluate these self-authored prompts to increase knowledge on how individuals negotiate behaviour change and assess whether intervention content can be improved in the future. Methods The self-authored prompts were evaluated qualitatively using a combination of content and thematic analysis. The identified themes and subcategories are exemplified using anonymized quotes, and the frequency that each identified theme was coded for among the prompts was calculated. Associations between baseline characteristics and the odds of authoring a prompt at all, as well as a prompt within each theme, were investigated using logistic regression. Results Five themes were identified (Encouragement Style, Level of Awareness, Reminders of reasons to reduce/quit, Strategies to reduce/quit, and Timescale), all with several subcategories. The prompts module was more likely to be used by women and older individuals, as well as those for whom reducing alcohol consumption was perceived as important, or who felt they had the know-how to do so. Participants who had immediate access to the support tool (intervention group) were more than twice as likely to author a prompt (OR = 2.36; probability of association > 99%) compared to those with 4-month delayed access (control group). Conclusions Individuals who engaged with the prompts module showed evidence of using the information provided in the support tool in an active way, with several showing goal setting and making plans to change their drinking behaviour. Individuals also used this opportunity to remind themselves of personal and specific reasons they wanted to change their drinking, as well as to encourage themselves to do so.

“…They outline how private experiences include making causal connections and learning (cmp8), while social expressions of regret can facilitate social cohesion through indicating awareness of error and contrition for actions, that could be viewed as an apology. In an interesting study into students' experiences of regret following binge drinking events, Crawford et al [17] find that students prioritise participation in such events, and feel that missing out on these would lead to greater regrets than regrets related to hangovers that result from participation (cmp5 → cmp2).…”

James Baldwin says: "though we would like to live without regrets, and sometimes proudly insist that we have none, this is not really possible, if only because we are mortal". The field of cybersecurity has its fair share of poor outcomes, some of which are bound to be due to regrettable actions. Similar to other negative emotions, such as fear and shame, it is likely that organisations are using anticipated regret as a behavioural control mechanism in the cybersecurity domain. We explore the nature and characteristics of cyber-related regrets, and the extent to which regret (both anticipated and experienced) influences future cybersecurity decisions. We derive a process model of regret and report on the way cybersecurity regrets occur, what their outcomes are, and how people experience them. We conclude with suggested directions for future research.
