Social Achievement Goals and Alcohol Use Outcomes in a Network of College Students
BACKGROUND: Social achievement goals are individuals' orientations toward attaining competence in social situations. Social achievement goals have been linked to outcomes such as belongingness, loneliness, and bullying perpetration among college students. Given that college students consume alcohol for social reasons, it is possible that a person's orientation toward social competence could be related to their drinking. This research examined whe…
Navigating ethical challenges in psychological research involving digital remote technologies and people who use alcohol or drugs
Digital and remote technologies (DRT) are increasingly being used in scientific investigations to objectively measure human behavior during day-to-day activities. Using these devices, psychologists and other behavioral scientists can investigate health risk behaviors, such as drug and alcohol use, by closely examining the causes and consequences of monitored behaviors as they occur naturalistically. There are, however, complex ethical issues that…
Social Network Composition, Relationship Type, and Alcohol Use Among Young Adults Not in Four-Year College
Background: The drinking of social network members has been consistently associated with personal drinking. However, less attention has been paid to emerging adult populations outside of four-year college students and to potential moderators of this relationship. In a sample of emerging adults who never attended four-year college, this research examined: 1) the compositional characteristics of the social networks, 2) the association between the d…
Education-based stigma and discrimination among young adults not in 4-year college
These findings could serve to increase awareness regarding the unique and significant discrimination faced by young adults who do not attend 4-year college and identify specific areas of intervention that can help these young adults cope with the effects of stigma and discrimination
Drug use behaviors, trauma, and emotional affect following the overdose of a social network member
Characterising patterns of alcohol use among heavy drinkers
Changes in College Student Anxiety and Depression From Pre- to During-Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is a major stressor that has negatively impacted global mental health. Many U.S. college students faced an abrupt transition to remote learning in March 2020 that significantly disrupted their routines, likely causing changes in mental health. The current study examined changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms among 990 college students, from before COVID-19 had reached U.S. community spread to 5 months into the pandemic. …
Mechanisms Underlying Associations between Media Alcohol Exposure, Parenting, and Early Adolescent Drinking
Feasibility and acceptability of a motivational intervention combined with text messaging for alcohol and sex risk reduction with emergency department patients
Integrating MI with TM is feasible and acceptable to at-risk ED patients and could facilitate behavior changes beyond MI alone
Sexual Assault Prevention for Heavy Drinking College Men
Despite the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses, few interventions aimed at decreasing college men's proclivity to perpetrate sexual aggression have been developed and tested. This article details the theoretical framework, content, and piloting of a sexual assault prevention program for college men who engage in heavy drinking, a high-risk group who may be particularly well positioned to intervene as proactive bystanders in drinking…
Strategic players for identifying optimal social network intervention subjects
The Role of Sensation Seeking and R-rated Movie Watching in Early Substance Use Initiation
Using video conferencing to deliver a brief motivational intervention for alcohol and sex risk to emergency department patients
Brief motivational intervention (MI) is an efficacious approach to reduce heavy drinking and associated sexual risk behavior among Emergency Department (ED) patients, but the intensity of demands placed on ED staff makes the implementation of in-person MIs logistically challenging. This proof-of-concept pilot study examined the acceptability and logistic feasibility of using video-conferencing technology to deliver an MI targeting heavy drinking …
Contextual- and Individual-Level Predictors of Alcohol-Related Consequence Aversiveness Ratings Among College Student Drinkers
Aversiveness of alcohol-related consequences varies across individuals and drinking occasions and predicts subsequent drinking behavior among college students. Grounded in social learning theory, the present study extends prior work by examining both within- and between-person predictors of aversiveness over 2 years. Participants ( N = 676 college drinkers) completed a baseline survey and biweekly online assessments throughout freshman and sophom…
Individual and Partner-Level Factors Associated with Condom Non-Use Among African American STI Clinic Attendees in the Deep South
Parent–Child Discrepancies in Reports of Parental Monitoring and Their Relationship to Adolescent Alcohol-Related Behaviors
Gender Differences in the Effect of Depressive Symptoms on Prospective Alcohol Expectancies, Coping Motives, and Alcohol Outcomes in the First Year of College
Prevalence and Predictors of Concurrent Sexual Partnerships in a Predominantly African American Population in Jackson, Mississippi
Behavioral Economic Decision Making and Alcohol-related Sexual Risk Behavior
A behavioral economic supplement to brief motivational interventions for college drinking
Basic behavioral and neurobiological research has demonstrated that deficiencies in naturally occurring substance-free rewards are both a cause and a consequence of substance abuse that are due in part to the systematic discounting of delayed substance-free rewards. Existing brief motivational interventions (BMIs) for alcohol abuse do not target this mechanism of change. The goal of this uncontrolled pilot study was to evaluate a behavioral econo…
