The Association Between Emotional Control and Affect Lability and Alcohol Problems Among College Students
Background Negative consequences of alcohol use are a significant concern among the college population. Previous research has highlighted the importance of emotional processes linked to alcohol-related issues. This study investigated the role of effortful emotional control, poor emotional (i.e., sadness and anger) regulation, and affect lability on alcohol use and related problems using a sample of college students.Method Participants were recrui…
Assessing Motivation for Condom Use Among MSM
Sexual Alcohol Expectancies, Alcohol Intoxication, and Sexual Behavior in MSM
Affective dependence, self-regulation, and alcohol problems
Positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) are associated with goal pursuit in addition to dysregulated behavior. Affective dependence (i.e., the correlation between PA and NA) may be a marker for good self-regulation on the one hand (weaker dependence) and poor self-regulation on the other (stronger dependence). This study sought to elucidate the role of affective dependence as a predictor of goal pursuit and alcohol problems at the within- a…
Romantic Duration, Relationship Quality, and Attachment Insecurity among Dating Couples
For many young adults today dating is not taken as a path to marriage, but as a relationship to be considered on its own terms with a beginning, middle, and end. Yet, research has not kept pace as most studies that look at relationships over time focus on marriages. In the present study, we look at individual differences and normative patterns of dating relationship quality over time. We tested a path model of associations between relationship du…
Alcohol, Sexual Arousal, and Partner Familiarity as Predictors of Condom Negotiation
The Implicit Sexual Risk Assessment
History of rape moderates the pathways from emotion dysregulation to alcohol and risky sex outcomes among college women
The current study identified important unique risk and protective pathways that may increase or reduce women's risk for alcohol-related consequences and risky sexual behavior. Importantly, these pathways are comprised of constructs that are malleable and modifiable and can be targeted and changed through intervention.

Daily Associations Among Alcohol Intoxication, Partner Familiarity, Participant Effortful Control, Urgency, and PrEP Uptake on Sexual Behavior in Men Who Have Sex with Men
Affective dynamics among veterans
We tested a dynamic structural equation model (DSEM; Asparouhov, Hamaker, & Muthén, 2018) of positive and negative affect in 254 veterans with approximately 1.5 years of experience sampling data. The analysis provided estimates of several aspects of veteran's emotional experience including "trait" positive and negative affect (i.e., mean levels), inertia (i.e., tendency for emotions to self-perpetuate), innovation variance (conceptualized as labi…
Using the Experience Sampling Method to Study Sexual Risk Behavior among Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM)
Toward the goal of advancing understanding of rates of HIV transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM) populations, this article provides preliminary data on the use of the experience sampling method (ESM) in a sample of 165 MSM. Participants completed 6 weeks of experience sampling in two 3-week measurement bursts with a 3-week rest interval. Criterion validity of the random and retrospective daily assessments was supported by expected wi…
Effects of Sexual Arousal and Alcohol Cues on Acute Motivation for Alcohol
Attachment network structure as a predictor of romantic attachment formation and insecurity
We present a new framework to conceptualize normative variation in attachment network structure and use the framework to predict romantic attachment formation and attachment insecurity. Young adults ( N = 2,055) completed the Attachment Network Questionnaire and were classified into one of four network types based on two comparisons: (a) between their primary and secondary figure, and (b) between their secondary and tertiary figure. Each comparis…
Childhood Maltreatment and Sexual Risk Taking
Acute Effects of Intoxication and Arousal on Approach/Avoidance Biases Toward Sexual Risk Stimuli in Heterosexual Men
Research on the Effects of Alcohol and Sexual Arousal on Sexual Risk in Men who have Sex with Men
Child maltreatment and deliberate self‐harm among college students
This study examined the relationship between child maltreatment, impulsivity, and deliberate self-harm in a sample of college students. Four subtypes of impulsivity (urgency, premeditation, perseverance, and sensation seeking) were examined. Results show that participants who report child maltreatment histories also report higher levels of negative affect and higher levels of impulsivity, specifically negative urgency. In addition, those who repo…
Impulsivity moderates the association between depressive rumination and number of quit attempt failures by smokers
Negative mood states have been shown to increase the likelihood of relapse among smokers attempting to quit. Rumination increases the vulnerability to depression among smokers, a relationship that is intensified by impulsivity. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between depressive rumination and impulsivity on smokers' (n = 53) lifetime quit attempt failures. Depressive rumination was positively associated with number of quit…
The Distress Tolerance Scale
Prevalence of Sexual Dysfunctions
Validating a five-factor marijuana motives measure
This study adapted and extended M. L. Cooper's (1994) Drinking Motives Measure to examine marijuana motives among 299 college students. An exploratory factor analysis supported the hypothesized 5-factor marijuana motives model, resulting in enhancement, conformity, expansion, coping, and social motives. Analyses supported the internal consistency and concurrent validity of the 5 marijuana motives. Marijuana motives were significant predictors of …

A Study of the Sport Specialization on High School Athletics
This research considered the status, the underlying causes, and the effects of sport specialization at the high school level. A questionnaire was utilized to solicit the perceptions of 152 high school athletic directors in Illinois. Athletic directors perceived that specialization at the high school level has increased over the past ten years and predicted that it is likely to continue to increase over the next decade. Athletic directors perceive…
