Although the association of impulsivity with diverse alcohol outcomes has been documented, the mechanisms by which impulsivity predicts drinking over time remain to be fully characterized. The authors examined whether positive drinking consequences, but not negative drinking consequences, mediated the association between impulsivity and subsequent binge drinking, over and above prior binge drinking.
Participants were 171 college students.
Participants completed 2 online surveys with an average interval of 68 days between assessments at Time 1 (September to October 2012) and Time 2 (November to December 2012).
Path analysis showed that, among 5 facets of impulsivity, the effect of sensation seeking on subsequent binge drinking was completely mediated by prior positive consequences. No mediating effects of negative consequences were found.
Prior experience of positive drinking consequences may serve as one of the risk pathways by which sensation seeking shapes binge drinking over time. Personalized intervention strategies may utilize information about students' impulsivity facets to address their binge drinking and alcohol-related consequences.
尽管冲动性与多种饮酒结果之间的关联已有文献记载，但冲动性随时间推移预测饮酒行为的机制仍有待充分阐明。作者研究了积极的饮酒后果而非消极的饮酒后果，在排除先前暴饮的影响后，是否介导了冲动性与随后暴饮之间的关联。
171名大学生。
参与者完成了2次在线调查，在第1次评估（2012年9月至10月）和第2次评估（2012年11月至12月）之间的平均间隔为68天。
路径分析表明，在冲动性的5个维度中，寻求刺激对随后暴饮的影响完全由先前的积极后果介导。未发现消极后果的中介作用。
先前积极饮酒后果的经历可能是寻求刺激随时间推移形成暴饮行为的风险途径之一。个性化干预策略可利用学生冲动性维度的信息来解决他们的暴饮行为及与酒精相关的后果。
