Concerns About Sexual Assault in Undergraduate Students Are Greater in Women and Risky Drinking Contexts: Relevance for Drinking Habits, Problems, and Decisions
Background: This study investigated sex differences in concerns about unwanted sexual advances (CAUSA) in drinking contexts that varied in terms of the familiarity of people and location, and size of the party. Hypotheses tested were: women have more CAUSA than men, CAUSA are higher in unfamiliar large events than familiar small events for women more than men, and CAUSA will predict decisions to drink less especially in unfamiliar contexts. Metho…
‘I am a Drinker’: A Content, Correlational, and Factor Analytic Study of Measures of Drinker Identity Among College Students
Background: Drinker identity research has proliferated over the last decade, resulting in 10 self-report questionnaire measures of this construct. However, it is unknown to what extent these measures accurately reflect the theorized multi-dimensional conceptualization of drinker identity. Objectives: The current study set out to investigate and compare these different measures using content, correlational, and factor analyses. A content analysis …
Social/Party Incentives Increase the Risk of Heavier Alcohol Use in Impulsive Individuals
BACKGROUND: Impulsivity is associated with excessive drinking and negative alcohol-related consequences. However, studies have not used an in-vivo approach (i.e., daily diary) to examine how the effect of impulsivity on excessive alcohol use could be moderated by context-specific mechanisms, such as incentives. METHOD: = 102, 61.8% females), who, for two weeks, responded to questions about their total number of drinks and the incentives (alcohol …
A New Perspective on “Drinking” Self: A Network Approach to Characterizing Drinking-Related Changes in Personality
Background Previous research suggests that self-knowledge, particularly perceptions of oneself as a “drinker,” may influence the development and progression of alcohol use and related problems, such as binge drinking. While existing studies have provided empirical evidence for the importance of assessing drinking self-perception within the five-factor model of personality framework, further examination with novel analytic methods, such as network…

A Self-Regulatory Model of Behavioral Disinhibition in Late Adolescence: Integrating Personality Traits, Externalizing Psychopathology, and Cognitive Capacity
Two samples with heterogeneous prevalence of externalizing psychopathology were used to investigate the structure of self-regulatory models of behavioral disinhibition and cognitive capacity. Consistent with expectations, structural equation modeling in the first sample (N=541) showed a hierarchical model with 3 lower order factors of impulsive sensation seeking, antisociality/unconventionality, and lifetime externalizing problem counts, with a b…

The effects of acute plasma tryptophan manipulation on hostile mood: The influence of trait hostility
The effects of acute plasma tryptophan manipulation on changes in hostile, anxious, and depressive mood were studied in 48 males. Subjects consumed tryptophan-free or nutritionally balanced amino acid mixtures as a means of manipulating brain serotonin levels. Mood (hostility, anxiety, depression) was assessed pre- and 5 hr post-ingestion using the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist. Overall, the tryptophan manipulation resulted in significant c…

Program Administrator and Medical Staff Attitudes toward Six Hypothetical Medications for Substance Abuse Treatment
There is growing interest in a number of medications with proven clinical efficacy or potential for treating substance abuse. At the same time, many treatment programs make little, if any, use of pharmacotherapy. The reasons for this circumstance are not clear. An exploratory survey using focus groups and telephone interviews with medical personnel and administrators from 38 programs and three professional associations suggests that program staff…
Coordinating Services for the Mentally Ill Misdemeanor Offender
Police officers frequently transport misdemeanor offenders who are suspected of being mentally ill to mental health facilities and hospital emergency wards for evaluation. This procedure may become a serious burden on many facilities, leading to long delays or rejection. Anticipating these delays, some police officers resort to direct incarceration. In a few communities, the health care system and law enforcement agencies have developed formal ar…
