Alcohol Effects on Cognitive & Affective Mediation of Women's Decision Making

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的项目是RO 1AA 014512的竞争性更新，并将继续与酒精有关的研究计划？对女性的影响？与风险相关的决策。最初的项目应用认知中介模型来理解酒精？的影响，结合其他上下文和背景因素，对妇女？的风险决策。众所周知，饮酒会增加与风险相关的行为，当一个人喝醉时，决策在认知和情感上都很复杂。了解影响女性的当下过程？醉酒时的决定对预防工作至关重要。拟议的项目将研究酒精消费之间的关系，一个合作伙伴？的胁迫，和妇女？与风险相关的决策。它将借鉴四条理论路线：1）认知中介模型（诺里斯等人，2004），其中审查的程度，认知评估调解的影响，背景和情境因素的情绪和风险相关的决定; 2）酒精近视理论（泰勒和伦纳德，1983年），其中阐述了影响酒精相关的认知障碍的行为; 3）评估中断模型（Sayette，1993年），其中解决酒精？4）酒精期望理论（Goldman，1999; MacAndrew &埃杰顿，1969），它描述了酒精如何通过文化和个人对酒精的期望来影响行为？的影响。拟议的研究将包括一个基于实验室的酒精管理实验，以建立操纵的情境因素之间的因果关系，包括酒精消费，认知评估，情绪反应，并在当下的风险相关的决定。它还将采用纵向调查，以研究如何在瞬间的决定转化为实际情况。结构方程模型将被用来研究背景和情境因素，以及基于情境的认知和情感调解人，作为预测的时刻决定。背景和情境模型将使用纵向数据分析技术进行研究，包括生存分析，潜在转变分析和增长曲线建模。 相关性：酒精消费增加了风险相关决策和结果的可能性。拟议的项目将通过研究酒精对妇女的影响来审查这一重大的公共卫生问题。在高风险情况下的决策。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project is a competing renewal of RO1AA014512 and will continue a program of research concerned with alcohol?s effects on women?s risk-related decision making. The original project applied a cognitive mediation model to understanding alcohol?s effects, in conjunction with other contextual and background factors, on women?s risk decisions. Alcohol consumption is known to increase risk-related behavior, and decision-making is cognitively and emotionally complex when a person is intoxicated. Understanding in-the-moment processes affecting women?s decisions while intoxicated is critical to informing prevention efforts. The proposed project will examine relationships among alcohol consumption, a partner?s coercion, and women?s risk-related decisions. It will draw on four theoretical lines: 1) the Cognitive Mediation Model (Norris et al., 2004), which examines the extent to which cognitive appraisals mediate the influence of background and situational factors on emotional and risk-related decisions ; 2) Alcohol Myopia Theory (Taylor & Leonard, 1983), which explicates the influence of alcohol-related cognitive impairment on behavior; 3) the Appraisal-Disruption Model (Sayette, 1993), which addresses alcohol?s cognitive impairment effects on emotional responding; and 4) Alcohol Expectancy Theory (Goldman, 1999; MacAndrew & Edgerton, 1969), which describes how alcohol influences behavior through cultural and individual expectations about alcohol?s effects. The proposed research will include a laboratory-based alcohol administration experiment to establish causal connections between manipulated situational factors, including alcohol consumption, and cognitive appraisals, emotional responses, and in-the-moment risk-related decisions. It will also employ a longitudinal survey to examine how in-the-moment decisions translate to actual situations. Structural equation modeling will be used to examine background and situational factors, as well as situationbased cognitive and emotional mediators, as predictors of in-the-moment decisions. Background and situational models will be examined using longitudinal data analytic techniques, including survival analysis, latent transition analysis, and growth curve modeling. Relevance: Alcohol consumption increases the likelihood of risk-related decisions and outcomes. The proposed project will examine this major public health concern by studying the influence of alcohol on women?s decision making in high-risk situations.
