“…It is generally agreed that some models of alcohol consumption, and particularly those associated with a rapid ingestion and intoxication (like binge drinking), are systematically accompanied by physical and psychological damage, and social and behavioral issues (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)19). This was confirmed by the present study, which revealed that mean levels of internalizing, externalizing and total problems increased with larger amounts of alcohol being consumed during a given drinking episode.…”

“…Adolescents are particularly vulnerable, due to rapid and significant psycho-physical changes, they could experience sensations such as discomfort, inadequacy or confusion. These feelings may cause the use of attractive altering substances as regulators (2)(3)(4)(5). The consequences for adolescent "binge drinkers" are numerous, including neurobiological and organic damage, and possibly even severe alterations to the respective cognitive, emotional, behavioral and psychic functional correlates.…”

SummaryIntroduction: the aim of this work was to study the relationship between binge drinking and psychopathological vulnerability, in terms of internalizing and externalizing problems, in adolescents, based on the assumption that binge drinkers have worse psycho-behavioral problems than nondrinkers or moderate drinkers. Materials and Methods: our analysis was conducted on a sample of 441 students aged between 14 and 17 years (mean age 15.10 years ±1.23 SD) attending several secondary schools in Padua and the surrounding province who volunteered to take part in the study. They were administered the Youth Self Report (YSR 11-18, T. Achenbach) to identify elements of psychopathological vulnerability and an ad hoc Questionnaire on Adolescents' Saturday evenings (QASS) to obtain information on the modality and quantity of their alcohol consumption. Results: a statistically significant relationship was identified between binge drinking and psychopathological vulnerability (F(2, 433)=22.214, p=0.00000). A correlation was also reported between the adolescents' age and their alcohol consumption, older age corresponding to more units of alcohol (UA) being consumed, i.e. consumption rose from a mean 0.2 UA at 13 years old to a mean 2 UA at 17 years of age). By number of alcohol we consider the number of drinks taken by the subjects during a night. Alcohol abuse was found associated with gender and the adolescents' social and recreational habits (in terms of their economic resources, the time they returned home, and the places where they spent the evening). Conclusions: an association was identified between binge drinking behavior and psycho-behavioral disorders of externalizing type. Other variables that influence alcohol consumption, such as adolescents, could be monitored by the parents, if properly sensitized, this opens a perspective on preventive interventions that also involve adults.

“…It seems that consumption and buying might be the source of such activities. Also, sensation seeking is found to be connected with decision making style, and high sensation seekers are more prone to making decisions that are spontaneous, intuitive, less rational and dependent on others than low sensation seekers (Baiocco et al, 2009).…”

Stern, 1962). The behavioural approach to consumer decision-making treats the impulse buying tendency as an individual trait, which in certain circumstances can lead to an act of impulse buying (e.g. AbstractThe behavioural approach to consumer decision-making focuses on impulse buying tendency as an individual trait that (in certain circumstances) leads to an act of impulse buying. Many authors believe that this trait is related to general impulsiveness as a temperamental factor. However, there is no precise data on the temperamental background of impulsive buying. Furthermore, even if it is agreed that men and women differ in terms of shopping style, there are only a few studies showing the nature of these differences when it comes to impulse buying. This research aims to verify the hypothesis on different temperamental determinants of impulse buying tendency for both genders in a Polish sample. For females, impulse buying tendency was positively related to optimum level of stimulation and also to reactivity. For males, this tendency was related, according to the Regulation Theory of Temperament, to formal characteristics of behaviour, especially to low briskness, sensory sensitivity and perseverance. Formal characteristics of behaviourThe formal attributes of behaviour were understood here as the dimensions of temperament postulated by RTT, and were measured with The Formal Characteristics of Behaviour -Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI), which was constructed specifically to verify this theory. FCB-TI is based on the assumption that temperament refers to formal attributes of behaviour expressed in energetic and temporal characteristics. This is a standardised psychological 120-item inventory, with "yes" and "no" as answers. It consists of six subscales representing six dimensions of formal attributes Journal of Customer Behaviour, Volume 10 JCB 130

“…The intuitive style reflects relying on feelings whereas the spontaneous style captures making decisions quickly; both of which match aspects of the affective/experiential mode of dual-process models. Prior work shows that spontaneous and intuitive styles are positively correlated (Baiocco, Laghi, & D’Alessio, 2009; Loo, 2000; Thunholm, 2004), suggesting these two styles may cluster together to form a profile.…”

Using cluster-analysis, we investigated whether rational, intuitive, spontaneous, dependent, and avoidant styles of decision making (Scott & Bruce, 1995) combined to form distinct decision-making profiles that differed by age and gender. Self-report survey data were collected from 1,075 members of RAND’s American Life Panel (56.2% female, 18–93 years, Mage = 53.49). Three decision-making profiles were identified: affective/experiential, independent/self-controlled, and an interpersonally-oriented dependent profile. Older people were less likely to be in the affective/experiential profile and more likely to be in the independent/self-controlled profile. Women were less likely to be in the affective/experiential profile and more likely to be in the interpersonally-oriented dependent profile. Interpersonally-oriented profiles are discussed as an overlooked but important dimension of how people make important decisions.
