Easier Said Than Done
Background Experiential learning activities have demonstrated superior learning outcomes for students in addiction psychology courses. In this project, we asked students to select a behavior they would like to change and to actively work to reduce it throughout the semester. Students were asked to submit an assignment detailing their experiences with the behavior change process. Purpose We aimed to examine if this experiential learning activity w…
Efficacy of a novel online integrated treatment for problem gambling and tobacco smoking
Coping and Conformity Motives Mediate the Joint Effects of the Behavioral Inhibition and Approach Systems on Alcohol Problems in Young Adults
Background: Gray’s original Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST) posits that an oversensitive behavioral inhibition system (BIS) may increase risk for negative-reinforcement-motivated drinking, given its role in anxiety. However, existing data provides mixed support for the BIS-alcohol use association. The inconsistent evidence is not surprising, as the revised RST predicts that the behavioral approach system (BAS) should moderate the effect of…
Hazardous Drinking Mediates the Relation Between Externalizing Personality and Reduced Adherence to Covid-19 Public Health Guidelines in University Students
Using a multigroup path analysis, we examined if hazardous alcohol use mediated the relations between elevated externalizing personality traits (i.e., impulsivity or sensation seeking) and reduced adherence to COVID-19 public health guidelines. We hypothesized that those high in externalizing personality traits would demonstrate less adherence to public health guidelines and that hazardous alcohol use would mediate this relationship. First- and s…
Impulsivity as a mediating factor in the association between posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and substance use
These findings suggest that trauma-exposed individuals who exhibit elevated PTSD symptoms show heightened impulsivity. It also appears that lower levels of impulsivity may serve as a protective factor among trauma-exposed individuals resilient to the development of PTSD.
