“…For example, in a study in which both depressed patients and nondepressed controls were instructed to use likely maladaptive ER strategies (such as rumination or suppression) in response to experimentally induced dysphoric mood states, depressed individuals utilized maladaptive strategies more often than nondepressed controls and had more difficulties overcoming these states than nonclinical individuals (Campbell‐Sills et al., ; Liverant, Brown, Barlow, & Roemer, ). Similar findings have been reported for eating disorders (Mills, Newman, Cossar, & Murray, ), substance disorders (Berking et al., ; Petit et al., ), somatoform disorders (Remmel, ), and psychotic disorders (Strauss et al., ).…”

“…EDR is conceptualized as one of the core components of SUDs [56,57]. EDR is a possible mechanism underlying the indirect relationship between negative affectivity and greater alcohol and drug misuse [68,69], alcoholrelated problems [71], craving for alcohol [62,70] and the maintenance of alcohol use [62]. Previous studies suggest that the period of early abstinence is particularly related with EDR [61,64].…”

“…Emotion regulation refers to the modulation of emotional arousal, the awareness, understanding, and acceptance of emotions, as well as the ability to act in desired ways regardless of emotional state [59]. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to EDR as a potentially common feature of many forms of addiction [55], including chemical addictions such as alcohol [57,[60][61][62], marijuana [63], cocaine [64], and illicit substance use in the past 30 days [65]. Some researchers have argued that individuals who have EDR are more likely to engage in addictive behaviours in an attempt to escape from, or minimize, negative moods and/or try alleviate distressing feelings [66].…”

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of borderline personality features (BPFs) with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms among male patients with substance use disorder (SUD) and to evaluate the impact of emotion dysregulation on this relationship. We also wanted to control the effects of depression and state anxiety. METHOD: Participants included 305 treatment-seeking male patients with SUD. Participants were evaluated by applying the Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI), the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). RESULTS: Age, duration of education, marital status, employment status, age at first and age at regular substance use did not differ between those with probable borderline personality disorder (BPD) (n = 155, 50.8%) and those without probable BPD (n = 150, 49.2%). Probable ADHD risk was 3.5 times higher among those with probable BPD. Also ADHD, DERS, depression and anxiety scores were higher in this group with probable BPD. Scale scores were mild and moderately correlated with each other. In hierarchical regression analysis severity of ADHD symptoms (particularly hyperactivity/impulsivity [HI] dimension), together with difficulties in emotion regulation (particularly impulse control difficulties), depression and trait anxiety predicted the severity of BPFs. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the severity of HI symptoms of ADHD is related with the BPFs, while difficulties in emotion regulation, particularly impulse control difficulties, partially mediate this relationship among patients with SUD.

“…Previous research has shown that individuals with alcohol dependence may utilize alcohol as a means by which to regulate unpleasant emotional states, such as stress. Specifically, inefficient emotion regulation strategies have been related to increased craving for alcohol (of which desire for alcohol is a facet; Petit et al, ). In order to combat the high levels of alcohol use observed in Type D individuals, it may be useful to target their stress levels and foster improved coping, social and emotion regulation skills.…”

Type D personality is associated with increased desire for alcohol in response to acute stress

Type D personality (the combination of negative affectivity and social inhibition) is associated with high levels of alcohol consumption. We examined if Type D was associated with higher levels of alcohol use, and if Type D was associated with desire for alcohol in response to a social stressor. In an experimental study, participants (n = 138) completed measures of Type D, stress, and alcohol use. They also took part in a stress-inducing public speaking task and provided measures of desire for alcohol at baseline, stressor, and recovery. Type D was associated with higher levels of alcohol use, stress, and desire for alcohol at stressor and recovery. Mixed measures analysis of variance demonstrated that there was a significant group effect of Type D (F(1, 136) = 6.86, p < .05) and a significant time × Type D interaction (F(1.50, 204.49) = 3.44, p < .05) on desire for alcohol. Type D individuals exhibited significantly higher levels of desire for alcohol during the stressor and recovery phases, compared to non-Type D individuals suggesting that Type D individuals may be motivated to consume alcohol in order to cope with stressful situations.
