“…Depression was not included in our final study model, indicating that the effect of depression on alcohol use is moderated by executive dysfunction. This finding is in line with previous research [ 33 ].…”

Symptoms of ADHD are strongly associated with alcohol use disorders, and mental health symptoms attenuate this relationship. There is limited knowledge about how specific symptoms of inattentiveness and hyperactivity/impulsivity can explain this association. We aimed to identify self-reported executive cognitive functioning and mental health and variables that may help identify subjects with an elevated risk of alcohol dependence in the general population. Data included 3917 subjects between 19 and 30 years old in the 4th Trøndelag Health Study. The Adult ADHD Self report Scale—Screener, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and demographic variables were used as input variables. The alcohol screening instrument CAGE was used as the response variable for binary alcohol dependence risk. We used logistic regression and automated model selection to arrive at our final model that identified sex, age, inattentiveness, hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms, and anxiety as predictors of having a CAGE score ≥2, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.692. A balanced accuracy approach indicated an optimal cut-off of 0.153 with sensitivity 0.55 and specificity 0.74. Despite attrition in the data, our findings may be important in the assessment of individual risk for alcohol dependency and when developing algorithms for risk triage in public health.

“…Indeed, it is possible that adolescents who tend to grow bored during leisure time and/or at school are more likely than others to engage in stimulating behavior, such as gambling and playing video games. Moreover, since boredom is linked to depression and impulsivity (Lidholm, Radon, Sundström, & Balkow, 2017; Sommers & Vodanovich, 2000; Sundström, Hjelm-Lidholm, & Radon, 2019), both of which are associated with at-risk behaviors (Canale, Scacchi, & Griffiths, 2016; Felton, Shadur, Havewala, Gonçalves, & Lejuez, 2020), the MSBS-SF should be employed in order to better understand how boredom affects adolescents by acting on their negative affect.…”

Using the Short Form of the MSBS to Assess State Boredom Among Adolescents: Psychometric Evidence by Applying Item Response Theory

et al. 2019

The Multidimensional State Boredom Scale (MSBS) is widely used, but evidence regarding its psychometric properties among adolescents is lacking. In particular, the functioning of the scale across genders is unknown. As a result, we used item response theory (IRT) to investigate gender invariance of the Short Form of the MSBS (MSBS-SF) among adolescents. Four hundred and sixty-six Italian high school students (51% male; M = 16.7, SD = 1.44) were recruited. A confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated the unidimensionality of the scale, and IRT analyses indicated that the scale was sufficiently informative. Differential item functioning (DIF) across genders showed that only one item had DIF that was both nonuniform and small in size. Additionally, relationships with negative/positive urgency and present/future-oriented time perspectives were found. Overall, this study offers evidence that the MSBS-SF is a valuable and useful scale for measuring state boredom among male and female adolescents.

“…Believing in a superior power, in the way we are distressed by close people, or in unpredictable situations, such as the victim of crime, the accident, the death of loved ones, and infected with a deadly disease helps people to achieve a better life shortly. Changing positive attitudes, or stabilizing negative attitudes toward drugs, strengthening religious beliefs and religious values, teaching coping skills, informing students about drug complications and teaching life skills, enhancing self-esteem, self-confidence, self-control, daring, identity, and the emotional regulation of the adolescent are personal factors about drug use [16,17].…”

Adolescence is a sensitive stage, in which people tend to use narcotic drugs and exacerbate the dependence in adulthood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) on the addiction-prone male high school students. Materials and Methods: The present quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample consisted of 60 10 th-grade male students of Tonekabon, Iran, in the academic year 2015-2016. They were selected by multistage random sampling (random cluster sampling) and assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to DBT for 12 sessions of 60 minutes. To collect the data, the Addiction-Prone Questionnaire in Iranian adolescents was used. The data were analyzed, using the analysis of repeated measures in pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages with a significant level of P<0.05. Results: DBT significantly affected the indicators of internal dissatisfaction, risk behaviors, self-view, deviation from the norms, self-centeredness, and relationships with friends during the posttest period (P<0.05). Only 3 factors were unreliable; there was no significant difference between the positive thoughts and the family dissatisfaction (P>0.05). Insecurity, positive thoughts, and family dissatisfaction were not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: DBT is effective in the components of addiction-prone male junior high school students.
