Research has shown that personality traits associated with impulsivity influence alcohol use during emerging adulthood, yet relatively few studies have examined how distinct facets of impulsivity are associated with alcohol use and abuse. We examine the influence of impulsivity traits on four patterns of alcohol use including frequency of alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, binge drinking, and alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in a community sample of young individuals (N=190). In multivariate regression analyses that controlled for peer and parental alcohol use, psychological distress, and developmental correlates (i.e., college, marriage, employment) in emerging adulthood, we found that urgency and sensation seeking were consistently related to all four constructs of alcohol use. The present study suggests that distinct impulsivity traits may play different roles in escalation of alcohol use and development of AUDs during emerging adulthood.
研究表明,与冲动性相关的个性特征会影响青少年时期的酒精使用,但很少有研究探讨不同方面的冲动性与酒精使用和滥用之间的关系。我们研究了冲动特质对四种饮酒模式的影响,包括在一个年轻人群体样本中(N=190)的饮酒频率、与酒精相关的问题、狂饮和酒精使用障碍(AUD)。在多元回归分析中,我们控制了同伴和父母的酒精使用、心理困扰以及青少年时期的发展相关因素(即大学、婚姻、就业),结果发现,冲动性和寻求刺激与所有四种饮酒模式都有一致性的关系。本研究表明,不同的冲动特质可能在青少年时期酒精使用的升级和 AUD 的发展中发挥不同的作用。
