Implicit associations about alcohol are strong predictors of alcohol use, as is the personality trait of impulsivity. This study examines the role of impulsivity as a moderator of the association between implicit associations about alcohol and alcohol use. Two hundred and 19 participants completed measures of positive and negative implicit associations, as measured by the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and self-report questionnaires of impulsivity and alcohol use in the past month. Trait impulsivity was broken down into five facets identified in previous research. All facets of impulsivity and positive implicit associations about alcohol were positively correlated with past month alcohol use. The urgency facets (positive and negative) of impulsivity (acting rashly in response to strong positive or negative mood) moderated the relationship between positive implicit associations about alcohol and alcohol use. Compared to individuals low on positive or negative urgency, individuals high on positive or negative urgency tended to report acting more in line with their positive implicit associations by reporting more drinking in the past month.
对酒精的内隐联想是饮酒的强有力预测因素,冲动性的个性特征也是如此。本研究考察了冲动性作为酒精内隐联想与饮酒之间关系的调节变量的作用。219 名参与者完成了积极和消极内隐联想的测量,通过内隐联想测验(IAT)和过去一个月的冲动性和饮酒自我报告问卷进行测量。特质冲动性被细分为先前研究中确定的五个方面。冲动性的所有方面和对酒精的积极内隐联想都与过去一个月的饮酒量呈正相关。冲动性的急迫性方面(积极和消极)(对强烈的积极或消极情绪做出冲动反应)调节了积极的酒精内隐联想与饮酒之间的关系。与积极或消极急迫性低的个体相比,积极或消极急迫性高的个体往往更倾向于按照他们的积极内隐联想行事,报告过去一个月饮酒量更多。
