Despite an increasing interest in the drivers of intergroup solidarity, the within-person longitudinal relationships between advantaged group members’ engagement for disadvantaged groups and its postulated antecedents remain scarcely tested. In the context of the refugee crisis following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we conducted a three-wave longitudinal survey ( NT1 = 804, NT2 = 702, and NT3 = 624) assessing Poles’ (the advantaged group) willingness to act for Ukrainians (the disadvantaged group), together with three hypothesized predictors—moral convictions, intergroup contact, and politicized identity. Employing a random intercept cross-lagged panel model that separates between- from within-person variance, we found that within-person changes in moral convictions and friendship contact directly predicted subsequent action intentions. Contrary to past theorizing, politicized identity emerged as consequence rather than an antecedent of collective action. Superficial intergroup contact indirectly predicted engagement intentions by facilitating cross-group friendship. We discuss the implications of our findings for current models of collective action.

“…Decades of research into the motivational model of alcohol use have suggested that drinking for enhancement (i.e., to enhance positive affect; PA) is related to heavier drinking, whereas drinking to cope (i.e., to decrease negative affect; NA) is related to more negative consequences, both directly and indirectly through heavier drinking (e.g., Cooper et al, 1995; Corbin et al, 2020; Kuntsche et al, 2005; Merrill & Read, 2010, 2014; Piasecki et al, 2014; Waddell, Corbin, & Marohnic, 2021; Waddell, King, & Corbin, 2022). In addition, several studies also have sought to test Cox and Klinger’s (1988) theory that acute elevations in negative and positive affect differentially predict subsequent drinking behavior for those high in coping and enhancement motives, respectively.…”

Day-level drinking motives are associated with intensity of drinking and occurrence of negative consequences. However, little is known about how day-level drinking motives relate to alcohol craving, an approach-oriented motivational state proximal to continued drinking. This study tested whether day-level (and between-person) drinking motives were associated with craving during drinking episodes and whether this effect varied by drinking-induced changes in negative/positive affect (PA). Emerging adults (N = 114) took part in up to two waves of 21-day ecological momentary assessments. Participants reported positive/negative affect (NA) prior to and during drinking episodes, drinking motives at beginning of episodes, and craving during all drink reports. Analyses tested whether day-level and between-person (aggregated) drinking motives were associated with heightened craving and whether any effects on craving were moderated by drinking-induced changes in affect. A significant interaction emerged for daylevel coping by negative affect, such that higher-than-average coping was associated with less drinkinginduced craving when negative affect decreased relative to predrinking levels. However, interactions of between-person coping by negative and positive affect also emerged, such that higher person-level coping was associated with more drinking-induced craving when negative affect and positive affect increased. Day-level and between-person conformity motives by negative affect interactions were also detected, such that higher day-level and between-person conformity motives were associated with more drinking-induced craving when negative affect decreased. Relations between day-level motivation and craving may be sensitive to changes in negative/positive affect while drinking. Future research is needed to differentiate mechanisms through which person-level versus day-level motives relate to craving. Public Health SignificanceFindings suggest that coping motives may operate differently at the event-and person-levels of analysis. For many drinkers, occasional use of alcohol to cope with negative moods may be a self-limiting phenomenon. However, postdrinking mood changes may promote desire for continued alcohol use in drinkers who habitually turn to alcohol for affective relief.

“…Though also not explicitly assessed, socially motivated individuals with social anxiety may be more likely to engage in solitary pregaming and drinking (Keough et al., 2016). There is evidence that solitary drinking and coping‐related drinking are both associated with increased alcohol dependence and negative consequences (Skrzynski & Creswell, 2020; Waddell et al., 2022). Future work may untangle pregaming behaviors further by examining such specific contexts of pregaming drinking.…”

BackgroundPregaming is a high‐risk drinking behavior that is associated with heavy drinking and negative alcohol‐related consequences. College students may engage in pregaming for several reasons, including to enhance social experiences or cope with negative affect. Research shows that associations between drinking, social anxiety, and depression are multifaceted. However, our understanding of the complex associations of mental health symptoms with pregaming motives and behaviors remains limited.MethodsThis study examined heterogeneity in how pregaming motives, social anxiety, and depression associate with past 30‐day pregaming variables (quantity, frequency, and negative consequences). We used latent profile analysis (LPA) in a sample of heavy‐drinking university students (N = 479).ResultsLPA results indicated four profiles: mild/moderate social anxiety and depression symptoms, moderate motives (n = 285), minimal social anxiety and depression symptoms, low motives (n = 61), subclinical/elevated social anxiety and depression symptoms, high motives (n = 75), and clinically elevated social anxiety and depression symptoms, moderate motives (n = 58). The subclinical/elevated symptoms, high motives profile reported the highest pregaming frequency and consequences, including blackouts. Individuals in the moderate motives clinically elevated symptoms, moderate motives profile reported more consequences than those in the minimal symptoms, low motives and mild/moderate symptoms, moderate motives profiles, subclinical/elevated symptoms, high motives profiles. Individuals in the minimal symptoms, low motives profile reported the fewest consequences.ConclusionsAmong these students, social anxiety and pregaming motives were associated with more frequent pregaming and social anxiety and depression were associated with greater negative consequences. Interventions that target pregaming‐specific motives among students with mental health symptoms may be warranted to reduce this risky behavior and associated drinking‐related harm.
