“…Second, PBS use has been shown to mediate the effects of impulsivity-like traits (Pearson, Kite, & Henson, 2012), conscientiousness (Martens et al, 2009), age of first use (Palmer, Corbin, & Cronce, 2010), self-regulation (D’Lima, Pearson, & Kelley, 2012), depressive symptoms (Martens et al, 2008), and drinking motives (Ebersole, Noble, & Madson, 2012; LaBrie, Lac, Kenney, & Mirza, 2011; Martens, Ferrier, & Cimini, 2007) on alcohol outcomes. Recently, most of these findings have been replicated (Bravo, Prince, & Pearson, 2015, 2016), adding confidence to the role of PBS as an important mediator of the effects of many constructs on alcohol outcomes. Third, PBS use has been shown to mediate the effects of several interventions targeting other alcohol beliefs (e.g., descriptive norms; Barnett, Murphy, Colby, & Monti, 2007, Larimer et al, 2007; Murphy et al, 2012).…”
