背景：冲动性酗酒是一个严重的公共卫生问题，因此有必要揭示这种消费模式的诱发因素。冲动相关特征是饮酒和滥用酒精的重要预测因素。尽管如此，之前关于酗酒的研究因各种定义和截止分数而令人困惑，这意味着现有的研究对不同冲动方面的具体作用的理解有限。因此，本研究通过采用维度方法，考虑连续统一体的条件，来阐明冲动方面在酗酒中的作用，以避免依赖有争议的和非确定性的标准。 方法：162 名学生接受了酒精消费评估，包括饮酒模式和冲动特征，如 UPPS-P 框架中所捕获的（即消极紧迫性、积极紧迫性、感觉寻求、缺乏毅力、缺乏预谋）。采用多元回归分析来研究每个冲动方面在酗酒中的预测作用。结果：酗酒与感觉寻求相关。然而，当对性别、年龄和总体饮酒量进行统计控制时，这种效应消失了，负紧迫感仍然是唯一能显着预测酗酒的冲动成分。 结论：我们发现酗酒的严重程度与负紧迫感相关，这表明酗酒模式是对负面情绪状态的反应，可以被概念化为一种适应不良的短期情绪应对方式。该研究呼吁采取旨在提高自我控制力的预防和治疗干预措施，以及更具适应性的情绪调节策略。
BACKGROUND: Impulsive binge drinking is a serious public health issue, and to reveal predisposing factors to this consumption pattern is, therefore, required. Impulsivity-related traits are important predictors of alcohol use and abuse. Nonetheless, previous research in binge drinking has been confounded by various definitions and cut-off scores, implying that existing studies contributed to limited comprehension on the specific role of different impulsivity facets. The current study thus disentangles the role of impulsivity facets in binge drinking by adopting a dimensional approach, considering the condition on a continuum, to avoid relying on debatable and non-definitive criteria.METHODS: 162 students underwent assessment of alcohol consumption, including drinking patterns and impulsive traits, as captured in the UPPS-P framework (i.e., negative urgency, positive urgency, sensation seeking, lack of perseverance, lack of premeditation). Multiple regression analyses were utilized in order to investigate the predictive role of each impulsivity facet in binge drinking.RESULTS: Binge drinking was associated with sensation seeking. However, when statistically controlling for gender, age and global alcohol consumption, this effect disappeared, and negative urgency remained the only impulsivity component that significantly predicted binge drinking.CONCLUSION: We found the severity of binge drinking to be associated with negative urgency, suggesting that the binge drinking pattern is displayed in reaction to negative emotional states, and can be conceptualized as a maladaptive and short-term emotional coping. The study calls for prevention and treatment interventions designed to improve self-control, and more adaptive emotion regulation strategies.
