Neurotic Personality Traits and Risk for Adverse Alcohol Outcomes: Chained Mediation through Emotional Disorder Symptoms and Drinking to Cope

Abstract

AS and HOP were both related to hazardous alcohol and drinking harms via emotional disorder symptoms and, in turn, coping drinking motives. All indirect pathways incorporating both mediators were statistically significant, and additional evidence of partial specificity was found. Conclusions/Importance: The study's results have important implications for personality-matched interventions for addictive disorders.

Self-Compassion as a Compensatory Resilience Factor for the Negative Emotional Outcomes of Alcohol- Involved Sexual Assault among Undergraduates

“…For the present study, we used the sum of the 4-item anxiety subscale (possible range 4-20) and the sum of the 6-item depression subscale (possible range 6-30). Separation of these two subscales has been supported by previous factor analytic results (Brooks, Beard, & Steel, 2006;Chinneck et al, 2018). In the present sample, Cronbach's alphas were .79 and .89 for the anxiety and depression scales, respectively.…”

“…Past term AISA was measured using the item: "As a result of using alcohol… I was taken advantage of sexually, " rated on a 6-point scale from 0 (never) to 5 (more than 10 times). This item was part of a larger questionnaire assessing a variety of potential harms associated with drinking used in a separate study (Chinneck et al, 2018). AISA was dichotomized (never [0] vs. once or more [1]), since frequency was positively skewed.…”

The Mediating Effects of Protective Behavioral Strategies on the Relationship between Addiction-Prone Personality Traits and Alcohol-Related Problems among Emerging Adults

“…The scoring for each item was recoded dichotomously to reduce skew, with a score of 1 indicating the problem was experienced (regardless of its frequency) and 0 indicating it was not. The number of positively endorsed items was counted to determine a total score with a possible range of 0-27 [44]. The Drinking Harms scale (dichotomously scored) has been shown to have good internal consistency (present sample: α = 0.95) [44].…”

“…The Drinking Harms scale [44] is a 27-item measure of alcohol-related problems. This scale assesses the presence and frequency of alcohol-related problems within the past semester (e.g., passing out or missing class) using a 5-point Likert scale: 0, never, to 4, four or more times a week.…”
