The Protective Role of Savoring on Coping Motives for Cannabis Use and Consequences
Young adults use cannabis and experience negative consequences at high rates. Cannabis use motives include coping, conformity, enhancement, expansion, and social. Savoring involves focusing attention on positive events to intensify positive emotions. Savoring might be differentially protective or risky when considering motives in relation to cannabis outcomes. We examined the interactions between cannabis motives and savoring on cannabis frequenc…
Primary Socialization Theory and American Indian Adolescents’ Intentions to Use Substances
Objective Intentions to use substances are a robust risk factor for future substance use. Primary Socialization Theory (PST), with its focus on relational factors, is well-suited to provide insight into American Indian adolescents’ intentions to use substances given the importance of relationships in American Indian communities. The goal of the present study was to examine the role of PST-related factors (i.e., parental monitoring, peer pressure,…
Correlates of Bystander Intervention Among Heavy Drinking College Men
The present study utilized survey assessments to examine correlates of bystander intervention intentions among heavy drinking college men ( N = 210). Intentions to engage in bystander intervention were associated with fewer heavy drinking days, lower alcohol-related consequences, greater use of strategies to limit drinking, and lower endorsement of alcohol expectancies. A range of constructs commonly associated with perpetration of sexual aggress…
Identifying Competing Life Reinforcers for Substance Use in First Nation Adolescents
Background: Indigenous youth are at increased risk of initiating substance use at early ages and suffer greater negative consequences related to substance use as compared to non-Indigenous youth. Behavioral Theories of Choice suggests that substance use is contingent on the availability of substances and the availability of alternatives to substance use. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate risk and protective factors associated wit…
Difficulties Regulating Positive Emotions and Substance Misuse
Background: Alcohol and drug misuse present significant public health concerns due to their high prevalence and deleterious outcomes. A growing body of research provides support for the role of difficulties regulating positive emotions in alcohol and drug misuse. However, research is needed to better understand for whom difficulties regulating positive emotions are most strongly associated with alcohol and drug misuse to inform assessment and tre…
Emotion-based impulsivity, smoking expectancies, and nicotine dependence in college students
The aim of this study was to enhance our understanding of the relationship between affect-related dispositions to rash action, negative urgency (NU: the tendency to act rashly when in a negative mood), positive urgency (PU: the tendency to act rashly when in a positive mood) and level of nicotine dependence symptoms by examining how the two traits transact with affect-related smoking expectancies. Based on the Acquired Preparedness model of addic…
Integration of impulsivity and positive mood to predict risky behavior
In 3 studies, the authors developed and began to validate a measure of the propensity to act rashly in response to positive affective states (positive urgency). In Study 1, they developed a content-valid 14-item scale, showed that the measure was unidimensional, and showed that positive urgency was distinct from impulsivity-like constructs identified in 2 models of impulsive behavior. In Study 2, they showed that positive urgency explained varian…
