The present investigation determined how different component-processes of executive functioning (EF) served as risk factors for intoxicated aggression. Participants were 512 (246 males and 266 females) healthy social drinkers between 21 and 35 years of age. EF was measured using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Version (BRIEF-A) that assesses nine EF components. After the consumption of either an alcohol or a placebo beverage, participants were tested on a modified version of the Taylor Aggression Paradigm in which mild electric shocks were received from, and administered to, a fictitious opponent. Aggressive behavior was operationalized as the shock intensities and durations administered to the opponent. Although a general BRIEF-A EF construct consisting of all nine components predicted intoxicated aggression, the best predictor involved one termed the Behavioral Regulation Index that comprises component processes such as inhibition, emotional control, flexible thinking, and self-monitoring.
本研究旨在探讨执行功能（EF）的不同成分过程如何成为醉酒攻击的风险因素。参与者为 512 名（246 名男性和 266 名女性）年龄在 21 至 35 岁之间的健康社交饮酒者。EF 通过行为评定量表的执行功能成人版（BRIEF-A）进行测量，该量表评估了九个 EF 成分。在饮用酒精或安慰剂饮料后，参与者接受了泰勒攻击范式的改良版测试，在该测试中，他们会从虚构的对手那里受到轻微的电击，并对其进行电击。攻击行为被定义为施加给对手的电击强度和持续时间。尽管由所有九个成分组成的一般 BRIEF-A EF 结构预测了醉酒攻击，但最佳预测因素涉及一个称为行为调节指数的成分过程，该过程包括抑制、情绪控制、灵活思维和自我监控等。
