DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Alcohol use researchers have begun to develop theoretical models for the role of automatically activated (i.e., without the mediation of conscious deliberation) motivational processes in at-risk drinking. However, little research has been conducted to assess how automatic alcohol-motivation associations are represented in memory or how contextual factors may influence the effect of automatic alcohol motivation on behavior. The overarching purpose of this study is to investigate precisely these issues by examining the role of automatic alcohol motivation in the alcohol use behavior of at-risk drinkers. This study will use a sample of 134 at-risk drinkers in a between-groups experimental design (self-regulation resources depleted vs. control group) to assess the relation between automatic alcohol motivation and alcohol consumption in a drinking ask during which participants are motivated both to consume and restrain their consumption. Aim 1: Examine the hypothesis that the automatic activation of alcohol-motivation associations in memory will predict alcohol consumption in an ad lib laboratory drinking task. Aim 2: Examine the hypothesis that resources available for the self-regulation of automatic motivation to drink are limited. Aim 3: Examine the hypothesis that the relation between ad lib drinking behavior and automatic motivational responses to alcohol cues is moderated by the availability of self-regulation resources.

描述（由申请人提供）：酒精使用研究人员已经开始开发自动激活（即，没有有意识的深思熟虑的调解）在危险饮酒的动机过程。然而，很少有研究已经进行了评估自动酒精动机协会是如何在记忆中表示，或如何上下文因素可能会影响自动酒精动机对行为的影响。本研究的首要目的是通过研究自动酒精动机在高危饮酒者酒精使用行为中的作用来精确地调查这些问题。本研究将使用134名处于危险中的饮酒者的样本进行组间实验设计（自我调节资源耗尽与对照组），以评估自动饮酒动机与饮酒之间的关系。目标1：在实验室的一项随意饮酒任务中，检验记忆中酒精动机关联的自动激活是否能预测酒精消费的假设。目的2：检验可用于自动饮酒动机自我调节的资源是有限的这一假设。目标3：检验这一假设，即自由饮酒行为和自动动机反应酒精线索之间的关系是由自我调节资源的可用性调节。
