Protective Behavioral Strategies Mediate the Relationship between Overparenting and Alcohol-Related Consequences among College Students
Background The negative consequences associated with alcohol misuse remain a concern on college campuses nationwide. Alcohol protective behavioral strategies are important factors in mitigating college students’ experiences of alcohol-related negative consequences. Overparenting, or “helicopter parenting,” is a form of over-involved parenting which has been associated with a range of substance use concerns in college students. The mechanism by wh…
College Alcohol Beliefs and Alcohol Outcomes: The Mediating Effects of Alcohol Protective Behavioral Strategies
The present study examined the mediating role of alcohol protective behavioral strategies (i.e. serious harm reduction [PBS-SHR], manner of drinking [PBS-MOD], stopping/limiting drinking [PBS-SLD]) on the relationships between college alcohol beliefs and alcohol outcomes (i.e. hazardous drinking and alcohol-related negative consequences) in an attempt to replicate recent findings in the early stages of college alcohol belief and PBS research. Met…
Coping Styles Mediate the Association between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms and Alcohol Outcomes in College Students
Background College students report high rates of alcohol consumption and Criterion A traumatic events, which puts them at higher risk for dangerous alcohol-related negative consequences when compared to the general population. The self-medication theory suggests coping as the potential link between substance use and psychological distress, and it has been found that ineffective coping styles are related to increased PTSD symptom severity and harm…

Social anxiety and alcohol-related outcomes: The mediating role of drinking context and protective strategies
Purpose: Students with social anxiety are vulnerable to hazardous drinking patterns due to their social evaluative fears and tendency to perceive alcohol use as a socially-approved, normative behavior. These students do not drink as often as their peers, yet they experience more alcohol-related consequences. Thus, it is important to identify specific anxiety-provoking drinking contexts that trigger these students to engage in hazardous episodic d…

Harmful alcohol use and alcohol-related sex expectancies as predictors of risky sex among african american female college drinkers
African American college women are experiencing sex-related negative consequences at alarming rates. Alcohol use and alcohol-related sex expectancies are predictors of risky sexual behavior among college women; however, African American college women are often underrepresented in empirical studies. The purpose of the present study was to examine the link between alcohol-related sex expectancies (i.e., enhancement, sexual risk taking, and disinhib…
Are there social benefits? Exploring the role of positive consequences in the relationship between social anxiety symptoms and negative drinking consequences
Research has shown that college students with social anxiety experience more alcohol-related negative consequences, regardless of the amount of alcohol they consume. To better understand this relationship, it is important to examine social anxiety as a multidimensional construct, as well as explore the positive outcomes these students experience from drinking. The current study sought to examine the impact of positive drinking consequences on the…
Protective behavioral strategies and hazardous alcohol use among male college students: Conformity to male gender norms as a moderator
© 2017 American Psychological Association. Male college students engage in more hazardous alcohol use and use fewer protective behavioral strategies than females. However, most college students use at least 1 protective behavioral strategy, and increasing use of these strategies is an effective component of alcohol harm-reduction efforts. Thus, it is important to study factors that may predict increased or decreased use of these strategies. One f…

Hardiness, parenting stress, and PTSD symptomatology in U.S. Afghanistan/Iraq era veteran fathers
There has been a call to identify variables that may contribute to positive outcomes in veterans of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan (e.g., Cornum, Matthews, & Seligman, 2011). Hardiness has been identified as a factor that buffers against the development of psychological symptoms in veterans, but has not been studied in relation to parenting. Previous research has demonstrated a link between PTSD symptomatology and parenting problems in male v…
Protective Behavioral Strategies, Alcohol Consumption, and Alcohol-Related Negative Consequences Among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual College Students
