Sexual Identity Uncertainty and Risk of Alcohol Use Disorder: The Roles of Tension Reduction Beliefs and Coping Motives
Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) disparities are often observed in individuals who are questioning or unsure of their sexual identity. Sexual identity uncertainty (SIU) is evident when people acknowledge that their sexual feelings, actions, and identities do not align within or across time. SIU is argued to function as an internal source of stress, which some may attempt to mitigate via alcohol misuse. Objective: The present study hypothesi…
Examining the Relationship Between Pet Ownership and Prosocial Behaviors Among Early Adolescents
INTRODUCTION: Prior literature within the field of human-animal interaction has illuminated the potential impact of companion animals on prosocial behaviors. This study explores pet ownership association with both adolescent self-reported and parent-reported adolescent engagement in prosocial behavior, using a large dataset of adolescents in the United States, collected between the years of 2019-2022. METHODS: This study analyzes secondary data f…
Distinguishing free will from moral responsibility when measuring free will beliefs: The FWS-II
Previous research suggests that free will beliefs and moral responsibility beliefs are strongly linked, yet ultimately distinct. Unfortunately, the most common measure of free will beliefs, the free will subscale (FWS) of the Free Will and Determinism Plus, seems to confound free will beliefs and moral responsibility beliefs. Thus, the present research (1,700 participants across two studies) details the development of a 2-factor FWS – the FWS-II …
Anxiety and depression in young adults: The role of perceived romantic partner drinking
This cross‐sectional study examined how perceived partner drinking relates to relationship satisfaction and symptoms of anxiety and depression across romantic drinking partnerships. Participants included 239 cisgender, heterosexual undergraduate students in current romantic relationships ( M age = 19.74; 76.15% female; 87.87% White) who reported their own and their romantic partner's drinking. Associations between drinking partnerships, identifie…
The daily association between affect and alcohol use: A meta-analysis of individual participant data
Influential psychological theories hypothesize that people consume alcohol in response to the experience of both negative and positive emotions. Despite two decades of daily diary and ecological momentary assessment research, it remains unclear whether people consume more alcohol on days they experience higher negative and positive affect in everyday life. In this preregistered meta-analysis, we synthesized the evidence for these daily associatio…
Identifying Specific Emotion Regulation Deficits that Associate with Nonsuicidal Self-injury and Suicide Ideation in Adolescents
Alcohol and Cannabis Cross Motives, Class Analysis, and Substance Use among Concurrent Users
Background: Substance use motives refer to an individual’s reasons for engaging in substance use. Although the respective alcohol and cannabis literatures have linked specific substance-use motives to indices of use, less is known about motives in concurrent users, particularly examination of cross-motives (e.g., cannabis motives predicting alcohol use). Methods: The present work examined motives for use in a sample of concurrent users to assess …
Individual and Covid-19-Specific Indicators of Compliance with Mask Use and Social Distancing: The Importance of Norms, Perceived Effectiveness, and State Response
COVID-19 is a global pandemic that has resulted in widespread negative outcomes. Face masks and social distancing have been used to minimize its spread. Understanding who will engage in protective behaviors is crucial for continued response to the pandemic. We aimed to evaluate factors that are indicative of mask use and social distancing among current and former college students prior to vaccine access. Participants (N = 490; 67% female; 60% Whi…
Relations between cannabis use, socioeconomic status, and risk perceptions in a Hispanic/Latinx population
Socioeconomic status (SES) and risk perceptions are indicative of cannabis use and subjective social status (SSS) may have utility in predicting cannabis use. This work examined relations between these indicators of cannabis use and use in a Hispanic/Latinx sample. Results found negative relations between risk perceptions and cannabis use. SES was unrelated to cannabis outcomes and risk perceptions but SSS had a negative relation with lifetime us…
Does Stress Mediate the Relation between Caregivers’ Victimization and Child Behavioral Outcomes? A Prospective Examination
State-level impulsivity, affect, and alcohol: A psychometric evaluation of the momentary impulsivity scale across two intensive longitudinal samples
Self-esteem, Acculturative Stress, and Marijuana Use Among Hispanic College Students
Previous research has found mixed results regarding the association between acculturation and substance use in Hispanic populations. Additional research is warranted to examine relations among facets of acculturation, particularly acculturative stress, and marijuana use. The purpose of this study was to examine whether self-esteem mediates the relation between acculturative stress and a lifetime history of marijuana use among a sample of Hispanic…
