Effects Of Experimental Pain Induction On Proxies Of Alcohol Use, Dezarie Moskal
Theses - ALL
Identifying determinants of alcohol consumption remains an important approach to prevent or reduce harmful use. Recent work suggests one such determinant may be physical pain; however, current research is unable to discern causality. Therefore, the goal of this study was to test experimental pain as a determinant of self-reported urge to drink, intention to use alcohol, and alcohol demand (as proxies for ad-lib alcohol consumption). Secondarily, this study aimed to investigate negative affect as a mediator of this relation. We hypothesized that participants randomized to undergo experimental pain induction (vs. no pain) would report increases in proxies of alcohol use …
The Effect Of Acute Negative Affect On Approach Biases To Alcohol Cues In Coping-Motivated Drinkers, Katherine Anne Buckheit
The Effect Of Acute Negative Affect On Approach Biases To Alcohol Cues In Coping-Motivated Drinkers, Katherine Anne Buckheit
Theses - ALL
Drinking to cope with negative affect has been linked to greater alcohol consumption and consequences of use. The combination of negative affect and implicit cognition, or unconscious processing has been theorized as a potential mechanism by which individuals become dependent on alcohol or other drugs. Literature has demonstrated stronger implicit cognitive biases toward alcohol cues in those who drink to cope but has not examined if this effect extends to approach biases to alcohol cues. 63 drinkers classified as high or low in coping motivation were randomized to either a negative affect induction group or a neutral affect control group. …
