Alcohol, Drugs, or All the Above: A Person-Centered Approach to Understand Polysubstance Use Patterns and Correlates with Emotion Regulation and Sensation-Seeking
OBJECTIVE: Substance use and misuse remain significant public health challenges in the United States. Although individuals who use one substance often use multiple substances, theories and research have largely focused on single-substance use. The present study aimed to identify patterns of substance use across multiple substances using latent class analysis (LCA) and to explore correlates of these patterns, including traits related to emotion an…
Appetitive and Aversive Motivation in Dysregulated Behaviors: A Meta-Analysis
Appetitive and aversive motivation are prominent in theories of dysregulated behaviors. The authors conducted a meta-analysis of the association between individual differences in appetitive and aversive motivation and several dysregulated behaviors (i.e., alcohol use, marijuana use, tobacco use, binge eating, aggression, gambling, and nonsuicidal self-injury). Alcohol use ( r = .17, k = 141), marijuana use ( r = .13, k = 23), aggression ( r = .22…
Discordant and Concordant Heavy Drinking and Other Drug Use Patterns and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration
Heavy drinking couples in which one (i.e., discordant heavy drinking) or both (i.e., concordant heavy drinking) partners drink alcohol heavily are at greater risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) than couples in which neither partner drinks heavily (i.e., concordant nonheavy drinking). Additionally, the risk for IPV is particularly high among discordant as compared to concordant heavy drinking couples. Despite the fact that individuals who dri…
Differences in Emotion Regulation Indices in Participants With a History of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury Based on Sexual and Gender Minority Identity
Everyday Sexual and Gender Minority Stress and Health: A Systematic Review of Experience Sampling Studies
Predicting aggressive behaviors: Examining unique and interactive roles of PTSD and emotion dysregulation in a minority sample
Aggression is a costly public health problem with severe and multi‐faceted negative consequences and thus, identifying factors that contribute to aggression, particularly in understudied populations, is necessary to develop more effective interventions to reduce the public health cost of aggression. The goal this study was to test whether difficulties regulating emotions moderated the association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sympt…
Eyes of the beholders: Multi‐method relationships between internalizing and externalizing symptom dimensions and aggression risk
Although aggression occurs across a range of disorders, associations between dimensions of psychopathology and self‐ and other‐directed aggression are not well understood. Investigating associations between psychopathology dimensions and aggression helps further understanding about the etiology of aggression, and ultimately, can inform intervention and prevention strategies. This study adopted a multi‐method approach to examine associations betwe…
The effects of sexual and gender minority stress on relationship functioning: A meta‐analysis
Theory and research indicate that experiences of sexual and gender minority (SGM) stress among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, plus (LGBTQ+) individuals are related to a variety of negative health outcomes. Because positive romantic relationships promote better physical and mental health outcomes, understanding factors that contribute positively or negatively to relationship functioning is necessary to improve relationships and promot…
Dyadic effects of minority stress and problematic alcohol use on sexual intimate partner violence in same sex couples
Little is known about the factors that facilitate the perpetration of sexual violence within the context of same‐sex romantic relationships (sexual intimate partner violence perpetration [S‐IPV]). The present study sought to identify the effects of external and internal minority stress and problematic drinking on perpetration of S‐IPV within a dyadic framework. A community‐based sample of 137 sexual and gender minority (SGM) couples ( N = 274; 59…
Unpacking the Construct of Dysregulated Behaviors Using Variable-Centered and Person-Centered Analytic Approaches
Dysregulated behaviors (e.g., alcohol and drug use, aggression, self-harm, gambling, binge eating) occur frequently and can be severely costly to individuals and society. Yet, little is known about the construct of dysregulated behaviors, including (a) whether it is distinct from related constructs such as compulsive behaviors and sensation-seeking, (b) whether its components share common correlates (e.g., impulsigenic traits, reward sensitivity,…
Impulsivity and Perpetration of Intimate Partner Aggression: The Moderating Effects of Negative Affective State and Alcohol
Background: The goal of this study was to test the interactive effects of negative urgency, state negative affect, and alcohol intoxication on intimate partner aggression (IPA) perpetration. Methods: Heavy drinkers who recently perpetrated IPA completed self-report measures of impulsivity, were administered an alcohol or control beverage, and completed a laboratory aggression task. State negative affect was assessed unobtrusively via the Facial A…
The “Why” of Drinking Matters: A Meta‐Analysis of the Association Between Drinking Motives and Drinking Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of how drinking motives are differentially associated with alcohol use (e.g., frequency, quantity) and drinking problems is critical in understanding risky drinking and the development of alcohol use disorder. The purpose of this paper was to use meta-analytic techniques to answer 2 overarching questions: (a) Which types of drinking motives (i.e., enhancement, coping, social, conformity) are most strongly associated with alc…

You Are What You See and Choose: Agreeableness and Situation Selection
Agreeableness positively predicts subjective well‐being, but why does it do so? Recent theorizing has highlighted possible substrates related to emotion regulation. Following suit, the present studies focus on the situation selection stage of the emotion regulation sequence. Undergraduate participants reported on their agreeableness levels and completed a picture‐viewing task (Studies 1 and 2) or a media choice task (Study 3). Studies 1 and 2 fou…

Driven, Distracted, or Both? A Performance-Based Ex-Gaussian Analysis of Individual Differences in Anxiety: A Performance-Based Ex-Gaussian Analysis
Since the inception of the empirical study of personality, and even before it, individual differences in anxiety and distress have been viewed as key predictors of behavioral performance. Yet such literatures have always entertained 2 perspectives, one contending that anxious individuals are "driven" and the other contending that anxious individuals are "distracted." The present 3 studies (total N=289) sought to reconcile such discrepant views ac…
Motor control accuracy: A consequential probe of individual differences in emotion regulation
Two studies (total N = 147) sought to model emotion-regulation processes in cognitive-motoric terms. Hostile or nonhostile thoughts were primed and, immediately following, individuals held a joystick as accurately as possible on a presented visual target. Study 1 revealed that the activation of hostile thoughts impaired motor control at low levels of agreeableness but facilitated motor control at high levels of agreeableness, consistent with emot…
