“…Insecure attachment schemas result in biased information processing, poor emotional regulation (Cassidy, 1994), and vulnerability to stress-related and personality disorders (Sroufe et al, 2005). Moreover, researchers have found an association between insecure attachment, delinquent and antisocial behavior (Allen et al, 2002), substance abuse (Hull, Young, & Jouriles, 1986) and criminal actions (Doyle & Markiewicz, 2005). These findings point to the importance of research into secure and insecure styles of attachment for understanding a range of mental health outcomes.…”

The aim of this investigation was to explore the quality of attachment to the divine in Islamic spirituality. Theories of attachment to God have been developed with respect to the Christian faith, but it is important to explore whether Allah functions as an attachment figure in Islamic theology. Specifically, the paper considers whether believers generally seek proximity to Allah as a safe haven in times of distress; use Allah as a secure base for living in the world; and view their relationship with Allah in terms of dependency, closeness, and alleviation of anxiety. To this end, five types of Islamic texts were reviewed: a) the beautiful names of Allah (divine attributes) for any attributes that signify Allah as a caring, nourishing, and omnipresent attachment figure; b) stories of the Qur'an that signify dynamic attachment relations between Allah, His prophets, and servants; c) verses of the 78 Bagher Ghobary Bonab, Maureen Miner, and Marie-Therese Proctor Qur'an that emphasize the caring and supportive relationship between Allah and His servants; d) divine sayings and prophetic inspirations that underscore Allah as a caring and supportive attachment figure; and e) suggested supplications which reveal individuals' deep and dynamic relations with Allah. The possibility of insecure attachment to Allah was also examined. The results of this theoretical study indicated that Allah functions as an attachment figure for believers, and most believers' rituals and behaviors are based on proximity-seeking to Allah. Implications of the current review for the conceptualization of attachment to Allah in Islamic spirituality and for scale development of relevance to Muslims' mental health are discussed.

“…Perhaps unfortunately, the general public perceives alcohol as having the power to reduce anxiety and improve mood (Sayette, 1993;Stockwell, 1985), which makes it likely that people will turn to alcohol when they feel bad. Problem drinkers seeking to quit or control their drinking tend to find that aversive emotional states increase the odds of relapse into heavy drinking (Hull, Young, & Jouriles, 1986;Pickens, Hatsukami, Spicer, & Svikis, 1985).…”

Fear causes fleeing and thereby saves lives: this exemplifies a popular and common sense but increasingly untenable view that the direct causation of behavior is the primary function of emotion. Instead, the authors develop a theory of emotion as a feedback system whose influence on behavior is typically indirect. By providing feedback and stimulating retrospective appraisal of actions, conscious emotional states can promote learning and alter guidelines for future behavior. Behavior may also be chosen to pursue (or avoid) anticipated emotional outcomes. Rapid, automatic affective responses, in contrast to the full-blown conscious emotions, may inform cognition and behavioral choice and thereby help guide current behavior. The automatic affective responses may also remind the person of past emotional outcomes and provide useful guides as to what emotional outcomes may be anticipated in the present. To justify replacing the direct causation model with the feedback model, the authors review a large body of empirical findings.

“…Psychological distress is thought to influence alcohol use partly because alcohol can reduce or alleviate feelings of tension or distress brought about by stressor exposure (Baumeister et al, 1994;Conger, 1956;Hull & Young, 1983;Hull et al, 1986). Tension-reduction theories further suggest that any stressor or stressful event that increases psychological distress also has the capacity to increase alcohol consumption patterns and related difficulties (Cooper et al, 1992;Cox & Klinger, 1988).…”

Functional Limitation, Pain, and Alcohol Use: Exploring Gender Differences in the Mediating Role of Depressive Symptoms

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study considered the processes linking functional limitation and pain with depressive symptoms and two alcohol-related outcomes (past-month drinking and problematic drinking) over a 3-year period. Method: Data were drawn from a two-wave Miami-Dade County community study of people with physical disabilities (N = 559). Structural equation modeling was used to assess whether depressive symptoms mediated the associations among functional limitation, bodily pain, and the alcohol-related outcomes considered, and whether these associations were moderated by gender. Results: When the effects of the sociodemographic control variables were controlled for, depressive symptoms partly explained the effects of Wave 1 functional limitation and bodily pain on problematic drinking at Wave 2. The mediating effects of depressive symptoms on problematic drinking were significantly greater for men than for women. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate clear linkages between two physical health indicators, depressive symptoms and drinking, and highlight the circumstances in which gender matters most for understanding these associations.
