Mindfulness (N Y). 2021 Nov;12(11):2681-2692. doi: 10.1007/s12671-021-01730-5. Epub 2021 Aug 21.
Aggressive behaviors are consistently linked to alcohol use and are over-represented among individuals in substance misuse treatment compared to the general population. Trait mindfulness (i.e., a multifaceted construct including attending to and accepting experiences) had an inverse relationship with aggression such that greater trait mindfulness may attenuate the risk alcohol use poses for aggression.
We examined the moderating effect of the five facets of trait mindfulness on the relationship between alcohol use/problems and aggressive attitudes, physical aggression, and verbal aggression among 516 men in residential treatment for substance use disorders.
Explication of the significant interactions utilizing the Johnson-Neyman technique revealed alcohol use/problems positively related to aggressive attitudes for men with below average and average Nonreactivity and Acting mindfulness facets. The positive relationship between alcohol use/problems and verbal aggression was present among men below average in Nonreactivity and Acting. Alcohol use/problems positively related to physical aggression among men below average and average in the mindfulness facets of Describe and Acting. Furthermore, alcohol use/problems positively related to aggressive attitudes and physical aggression among men average or above average in the mindfulness facet of Observe.
Findings suggest that among men who misuse substances, the relation between alcohol use and aggression may be conditional and influenced by deficits in trait mindfulness.
攻击性行为一直与饮酒有关，与普通人群相比，在物质滥用治疗中的个体中攻击性行为的比例过高。特质正念（即一种多方面的结构，包括关注和接受体验）与攻击性呈负相关，因此更高的特质正念可能会降低饮酒对攻击行为造成的风险。
我们研究了特质正念的五个方面对516名接受物质使用障碍住院治疗的男性中饮酒/问题与攻击态度、身体攻击和言语攻击之间关系的调节作用。
利用约翰逊 - 奈曼技术对显著交互作用的解释表明，对于非反应性和行动正念方面低于平均水平和平均水平的男性，饮酒/问题与攻击态度呈正相关。在非反应性和行动方面低于平均水平的男性中，饮酒/问题与言语攻击之间存在正相关。在描述和行动正念方面低于平均水平和平均水平的男性中，饮酒/问题与身体攻击呈正相关。此外，在观察正念方面处于平均水平或高于平均水平的男性中，饮酒/问题与攻击态度和身体攻击呈正相关。
研究结果表明，在物质滥用的男性中，饮酒与攻击行为之间的关系可能是有条件的，并受特质正念缺陷的影响。
