“…For example, public service announcements eliciting arousal, sensory, and affective responses have been shown to be more effective for adolescents independent of SS. However, announcements that fail to elicit such responses may be less effective for high versus low sensation seekers (Donohew, Lorch, & Palmgreen, 1991;Palmgreen et al, 1995;Strasser et al, 2009).…”

“…The former strategy may be more realistic for the time being. For example, Palmgreen et al (1995) conducted a media campaign targeting persons with high levels of sensation seeking, encouraging them to contact a hotline where they could receive information about exciting activities that did not involve drug use. To the extent that this kind of approach dismantles the connection between disinhibition and its high social costs (e.g.…”

"Externalizing disorders: Cluster 5 of the proposed meta-structure for DSM-V and ICD-11." Psychological Medicine.39,12. 2061-2070. http://digitalcommons.wustl.edu/open_access_pubs/3931Externalizing disorders: Cluster 5 of the proposed meta-structure for DSM-V and ICD-11Paper 6 of 7 of the thematic section : ' A proposal for a meta-structure for DSM-V and ICD-11 ' R. F. Krueger 1 * and S. C. South 2 1 Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry, Washington University in St Louis, St Louis, MO, USA 2 Department of Psychology, Purdue University, Lafayette, IN, USA Background. The extant major psychiatric classifications DSM-IV and ICD-10 are purportedly atheoretical and largely descriptive. Although this achieves good reliability, the validity of a medical diagnosis is greatly enhanced by an understanding of the etiology. In an attempt to group mental disorders on the basis of etiology, five clusters have been proposed. We consider the validity of the fifth cluster, externalizing disorders, within this proposal.Method. We reviewed the literature in relation to 11 validating criteria proposed by the Study Group of the DSM-V Task Force, in terms of the extent to which these criteria support the idea of a coherent externalizing spectrum of disorders.Results. This cluster distinguishes itself by the central role of disinhibitory personality in mental disorders spread throughout sections of the current classifications, including substance dependence, antisocial personality disorder and conduct disorder. Shared biomarkers, co-morbidity and course offer additional evidence for a valid cluster of externalizing disorders.Conclusion. Externalizing disorders meet many of the salient criteria proposed by the Study Group of the DSM-V Task Force to suggest a classification cluster.

“…The bulk of research on the effects of anti-drug messages concentrates on awareness, knowledge, attitudes, affect, and behavioral intent (see, e.g., Atkin, 2001;Atkin & Freimuth, 2001;Paisley, 2001;Palmgreen, Lorch, Donohew, & Harrington, 1995;Salmon & Murray-Johnson, 2001;Wartella & Middlestadt, 1991), with studies often investigating the manner in which variations in content, form, and argumentation style evoke changes in dependent variables of interest (McGuire, 2001). Beyond manipulating media variables, individual differences among viewers have also been widely examined .…”

“…In general, anti-drug commercials can increase anti-drug attitudes among adolescents (e.g., Kelly & Edwards, 1992;Reis, Duggan, Adger, & DeAngelis, 1994), and survey research has shown that the ads can also prompt adolescents to take action by calling an anti-drug hotline (Palmgreen & Donohew, 1994). Prior research has investigated attitude efficacy across "various source, message, recipient, and channel variables" (Baker, Petty, & Gleicher, 1991, p. 200), and it has demonstrated that the commercials work best when they are targeted toward specific audiences Kelder, Pechmann, Slater, Worden, & Levitt, 2002).…”

Anti-drug ads may be designed to prevent illicit drug use, but might they also lead to a greater desire for experimenting with drugs? Priming theory suggests the ads could cause viewers to exaggerate drug use prevalence and expose gaps in viewers' experiential knowledge. By keeping the concept of adolescent drug use salient, anti-drug ads may trigger social comparison and make them wonder why drugs are so popular. Two studies explore such a possibility. Results from an initial between-participants experiment (N = 65) indicate curiosity-arousal may be an unintended function of viewing anti-drug ads. A follow-up study (N=28) replicates the findings and further examines likely causes of curiosityarousal.
