DISINHIBITION, LEARNING AND RISK FOR ALCOHOLISM

这项拟议中的研究旨在测试一种酗酒风险模型， 将不羁的个性与社会学习因素结合起来。 以前的工作主要集中在男性的风险上， 专注于男性更常见的反社会特征一些研究与 男性已经确定了一种性格特征，神经质外向 (NE)与抑制解除有关：实验测试表明， 人格风格预测奖励为中心的反应， 注意惩罚。 该研究将测试这一模型：NE导致 去抑制，通过去抑制任务表现来衡量。问题 当这种放荡不羁的风格与 具体学习酒精的形式高积极的 对酒精影响的预期。 NE和expectation将分别具有 预测饮酒的增量有效性，期望将冥想 NE对饮酒的影响，NE水平可调节 表现出期待和饮酒的关系

The proposed study intends to test a model of risk for alcoholism that integrates disinhibited personality with social learning factors. Previous work has focused heavily on risk in men, with an attendant focus on sociopathic traits more prevalent in men. Some research with men has identified a personality characteristic, neurotic extroversion (NE) to related to disinhibition: experimental tests have shown this personality style to predict reward-focused responding with less attention to punishment. The study will test this model: NE leads to disinhibition, as measured by disinhibited task performance. Problem drinking becomes likely when this disinhibited style combines with specific learning about alcohol in the form of high positive expectancies for alcohol's effects. NE and expectancy will each have incremental validity in predicting drinking, expectancy will meditate the influence of NE on drinking, and level of NE may moderate the demonstrated expectancy-drinking relationship.
