Regression analyses the mitigating influencing both depression caregivers.Cross-lagged findings suggested that predicted time rather than vice versa. found this relationship held when adjusting for multiple covariates as well previous levels health,...
Social anxiety evidences significant comorbidity with alcohol use disorders and alcohol-related problems. In an effort to better understand this co-occurrence, researchers are beginning evaluate specific drinking-related factors, including motives, among socially anxious individuals. Drawing on Cooper's (1994) 4-factor model of drinking motives (enhancement, social, conformity, coping), a growing body work suggests that individuals may consume in cope their symptoms; however, no study date...
Adolescence is a key period in terms of the development anxiety psychopathology. An emerging literature suggests that early pubertal maturation associated with enhanced vulnerability for symptomatology, although few studies have examined this association regard to social anxiety. Accordingly, current study was designed further elucidate relation between timing and anxiety, focus on clarifying role gender. Participants were 138 adolescents (ages 12-17 years) recruited from general community....
Objective: Comparatively little longitudinal data exist focusing on grandparent caregiving, to say nothing of health’s impact over time and grandchild well-being. Accordingly, the present study explored relationships among caregiver physical health, well-being, adjustment, as well with well-being across a 1-year period. Method: Participants were 79 grandparents who had full-time responsibility for their grandchildren. Measures completed two assessments, 1 year apart. Results: Cross-lagged...
Research conducted with socially anxious youth suggests that there is an increased risk for poor sleep quality; however, this link not consistent across the few studies and evidence to suggest quality may increase elevated social anxiety symptoms. The present study investigates both prospective reciprocal associations between levels of self-reported global while also distinguishing within-person between-person variations in these associations. Community-recruited adolescents from United...
Previous studies have produced mixed results when examining whether experiencing an adverse event can lead to changes in Neuroticism. We sought examine this effect (a) the was relatively recent, (b) occurred during a early development stage (i.e., emerging adulthood), and (c) severely adverse. A sample of 1,108 undergraduates completed three measures Neuroticism twice, separated by approximately 3 months, indicated most traumatic or they experienced intervening months. examined two...
Among college students, student-athletes are at increased risk for heavy alcohol consumption, participation in risky drinking practices (e.g., playing games [DG]), and adverse alcohol-related consequences relative to non-student-athletes. Within the student-athlete population, level of sports recreational or varsity sports) can affect use behaviors consequences, but our understanding extent which influences engagement DG is limited. Thus, present study, we examined differences frequency DG,...
Participating in a drinking game (DG) is common practice among university students and can increase students' risk for heavy drinking. Given the theoretical link between motivations to drink alcohol use, careful consideration should be given play DGs. In this study, we examined factor structure, internal consistency, concurrent validity of revised version motives playing games (MPDG) scale, MPDG-33. University (n = 3345, Mage 19.77 years, SDage 1.53; 68.8% women; 59.6% White) from 12 U.S....
Background and Objectives: Although research indicates that social anxiety (SA) is associated with problematic drinking, few studies have examined these relations among adolescents, all alcohol-related assessments been retrospective. Socially anxious youth may be at risk to drink in an effort manage negative affectivity, a proclivity toward disengagement coping (e.g. avoidance of aversive stimuli) enhance the desire learning coping-related use. Design: Adding addressing adolescent SA alcohol...
Playing drinking games can be characterized as a high-risk activity because are typically designed to promote heavy alcohol consumption. While research suggests that young adults motivated play for variety of reasons (e.g., thrills/fun, the competition), Motives Drinking Games measure has received limited empirical attention. We examined psychometric properties this with confirmation sample recruited from Amazon’s MTurk ( N = 1,809, ages 18-25 years, 47% men; 41% not currently enrolled in...
Models of traumatic event-related emotional reactivity have primarily focused on fear. Emerging research points to the importance advancing our currently limited understanding how anger and disgust relate certain types experiences, such as interpersonal violence (IPV). The current study compared anger, disgust, anxiety in response an ideographic neutral event script between IPV victims those exposed a non-interpersonally-relevant event. Victims evidenced greater non-IPV group after...
Drinking to cope with negative affect is a drinking pattern that leads problematic alcohol use both in college and after graduation. Despite theory correlational evidence this effect, establishing link between stress consumption among students the laboratory has yielded limited number of studies and, at times, inconsistent results. The present study attempts resolve these issues through investigating effects an ecologically relevant stressor-ostracism-on clinical setting. Social (N = 40; 55%...
