Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is a cognitive, individual difference variable that refers to the fear of arousal-related bodily sensations. Persons with high AS fear these sensations because they believe the sensations are signs of impending catastrophic events. AS has been linked to increased alcohol consumption and also risky drinking motives, including coping and conformity motives. This paper summarizes statistical modeling studies and experimental research on the functional relationships between AS and drinking motives and alcohol consumption. AS functions as a risk factor that sets the stage for negative reinforcement by alcohol use. Whether alcohol use becomes a method of coping with AS depends on multiple risk factors and motivations. We propose an integrated model to account for the observed relationships and to guide future research. In addition, we identify key methodological limitations and directions for future research.
焦虑敏感 (AS) 是一种认知个体差异变量，指的是对与唤醒相关的身体感觉的恐惧。高 AS 的人害怕这些感觉，因为他们认为这些感觉是即将发生灾难性事件的迹象。AS 与饮酒量增加有关，也与冒险饮酒动机有关，包括应对和从众动机。本文总结了关于 AS 与饮酒动机和饮酒量之间功能关系的统计建模研究和实验研究。AS 是酒精使用产生负强化的风险因素。酒精使用是否成为应对 AS 的方法取决于多种风险因素和动机。我们提出了一个综合模型来解释观察到的关系，并指导未来的研究。此外，我们还确定了未来研究的关键方法学限制和方向。
