Drinking to Cope, Negative Affect, and Affect Regulation: A daily diary study

摘要 尽管做出了广泛的预防努力，但与酒精有关的后果仍然很普遍， 每年有1，500多名年轻人死于这一疾病。因此，了解致病因素至关重要， 有助于酒精相关后果的发展。先前的研究表明， 报告称，为了科普而饮酒可能会增加与酒精相关的后果的风险。据推测，饮酒 科普意味着饮酒是对负面影响的反应，但目前还不清楚负面影响如何影响调节 策略和饮酒以科普相互作用来预测酒精相关的后果。因此，进一步探讨 这些因素的日常动态是有道理的。本研究旨在探讨个体差异 消极情绪和情绪调节策略的运用可能相互作用，预测饮酒以科普 在日常水平的动机，如果每天的饮酒波动，以科普有关的日常酒精相关 后果本研究将采用EMA设计，以表征可能导致 每天都有与酒精相关的后果。将招募18-22岁的年轻人（N=500）进行强化 物质使用和影响的纵向评估。参与者将使用日记来报告他们的影响， 影响调节策略，饮酒动机，酒精使用和酒精相关后果。的结果 这项研究可以通过识别有助于预防的个体差异因素， 每天饮酒的后果增加，以及可能的干预目标。拟议 这项研究代表了对先前研究的创新，因为还没有一项研究每天综合 影响的波动，影响调节策略，以及饮酒的日常动机，以及这些与 酒精相关的后果在日常水平。这项研究符合国家战略计划。 酒精滥用和酒精中毒研究所（NIAAA），因为它可能对改善预防 青少年高危发育期的酒精滥用和酒精相关后果 成年..该项目的资金将提供大量的培训，以新兴的博士前研究人员在 伦理，研究方法，先进的定量方法，和职业发展。总的来说，这个项目 将阐明负面影响可以驱动增加饮酒动机的过程，以及如何 这些过程与酒精相关后果的发展有关。

ABSTRACT Alcohol-related consequences remain widespread, despite extensive prevention efforts, and alcohol misuse by young adults results in over 1,500 deaths per year. Thus, it is crucial to understand etiologic factors that contribute to the development of alcohol-related consequences. Prior research has shown that individuals who report drinking to cope may have increased risks for alcohol-related consequences. It is assumed that drinking to cope implies drinking in response to negative affect, but it is unclear how negative affect, affect regulation strategies, and drinking to cope interact to predict alcohol-related consequences. Thus, further exploration into the daily dynamics of these factors is warranted. This study proposes to investigate how individual differences in negative affect and deployment of affect regulation strategies may interact to predict drinking to cope motives at the daily level, and if daily fluctuations in drinking to cope are related to daily alcohol-related consequences.. The study will utilize an EMA design in order to characterize daily processes that may lead to daily risk for alcohol-related consequences. Young adults age 18-22 (N=500) will be recruited for intensive longitudinal assessment of substance use and affect. Participants will use daily diary to report their affect, affect regulation strategies, drinking motives, alcohol use, and alcohol-related consequences. Findings from this study could inform prevention efforts by identifying individual differences factors that contribute to increased alcohol consequences at a daily level, as well as possible targets for intervention. The proposed study represents innovation over prior research because there has not yet been a study that synthesizes daily fluctuations in affect, affect regulation strategies, and daily motivations to drinking and how these relate to alcohol-related consequences at a daily level. This study is aligned with the strategic plan of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), as it has possible implications for improving prevention of alcohol misuse and alcohol-related consequences during the high risk developmental period of young adulthood.. The funding of this project will provide substantial training to an emerging predoctoral researcher in ethics, research methodology, advanced quantitative methods, and career development. Overall, this project will illuminate processes by which negative affect can drive increased motivation to drink to cope, and how these processes relate to the development of alcohol-related consequences.
