Binge behaviors: Assessment, determinants, and consequences

Problematic pornography use and novel patterns of escalating use: A cross-sectional network analysis with two independent samples

“…However, we must reiterate that research into pornographic binges remains in its infancy and warrants greater attention. To echo Wordecha and colleagues (2018) , improving how we define and operationalise pornographic binges is an important step to enhance precision in this area given that current definitions on what constitutes a binge is arbitrary ( Flayelle & Lannoy, 2021 ; Lewczuk et al, 2021 ; Wordecha et al, 2018 ). Enhancing such definitions through empirical and clinical evaluation is an avenue for future work.…”

Uncontrolled eating and sensation-seeking partially explain the prediction of future binge drinking from adolescent brain structure

“…Approaches targeting sensation-seeking and other dimensions of the SURPS ( Woicik et al, 2009 ) have indeed been successful in reducing binge drinking in adolescents, with effects lasting for up to three years ( Edalati and Conrod, 2019 ). Importantly, such interventions might prevent not only binge drinking but also a wider range of impulsive binge behaviors such as binge eating ( Flayelle and Lannoy, 2021 ). Trans-diagnostic approaches such as mindfulness-based interventions seem promising in reducing adolescent sensation-seeking as well as in preventing substance abuse ( Najafi Chaleshtori et al, 2022 , Narayanan and Naaz, 2018 ).…”
