A self-determination theory perspective of motivations for cannabis-related harm reduction behaviours
OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate an expanded and adapted version of the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ) to assess the internalization continuum of motivation per self-determination theory (SDT) for responsible cannabis use and cannabis protective behavioural strategies (PBS). METHODS AND MEASURES: We recruited 1,196 college students (Study 1) and 1,409 adults (Study 2) who reported past-month cannabis to complete online surveys; a …
A Psychometric Evaluation of the Reasons for Limiting Heavy Drinking Scale in a National Sample of College Students
Background: Understanding college students’ reasons for limiting heavy drinking can inform and enhance harm reduction initiatives. Objectives: This study provided further psychometric evaluation of the Reasons for Limiting Heavy Drinking (RFLHD) scale, including model fit, construct validity, and test–retest reliability, among two national samples of college students across the United States. Study 1 consisted of 537 college students (Mage = 19.4…
Demographic Correlates Associated with Blackout Rage Gallon (Borg) Drinking Knowledge and Participation Among College Students
Objective An emergent and concerning alcohol use trend among college students is the consumption of a "blackout rage gallon" (BORG)—a gallon jug filled with a mixture of alcohol (often vodka), caffeinated beverages, water, and flavor enhancers. The aim of this exploratory study was two-fold: (1) to describe U.S. college students’ direct and indirect experience with BORG drinking and (2) to identify demographic factors that correlate with BORG con…

A Mixed-Methods Examination of Language Used by College Students to Describe Alcohol Recovery
Given that approximately 5% of the U.S. population is currently attending college, research is needed to better understand the language that college students use to describe alcohol recovery regardless of their current drinking behavior. College student perceptions of alcohol recovery are important, given that students may experience an alcohol use disorder themselves or may encounter others with an alcohol use disorder. Research on college stude…
Indirect associations between impulsivity and alcohol outcomes through motives for drinking responsibly among U.S. college students
The aim of the present study was to conduct a preliminary investigation of the associations between facets of impulsivity and alcohol outcomes through motives for drinking responsibly described by self-determination theory among college students. Participants (N=2,808) were part of a multisite investigation of college student drinking across 10 universities in 8 states in the U.S. who reported past-month drinking. Results of a structural equation…
Mental Health Risk Profiles and Related Substance Use During Coronavirus Pandemic Among College Students Who Use Substances
The Relationship Between Perceived Hookup Attitudes and Negative Hookup Consequences
Research suggests that the perceived hookup attitudes of close referents are generally a poor predictor of hookup behavior and likely a poor direct predictor of negative hookup consequences. The current study aimed to examine three intervening variables as mediators of the relationship between the perceived hookup attitudes of college students' close friends and negative hookup consequences (e.g., regret, embarrassment). Self-report data were col…
Assessing the Personal Negative Impacts of Hooking Up Experienced by College Students
Hooking up is a normative behavior among college students that is associated with a range of positive and negative consequences. While previous research has primarily focused on women's negative experiences of hooking up, the current study explored the relationships among hooking up behaviors, psychological distress, and a broad range of negative effects of hooking up in both male and female college students. Using a multisite sample of college s…
