“…Alternatively, the BAS responds to environmental cues for reward and nonpunishment by initiating approach and active avoidance. BAS appears to be a relatively consistent positive correlate of alcohol and drug use but this relation appears to be driven primarily by the BAS subscale of Fun Seeking, whereas BIS tends to be either nonsignificantly or negatively related to substance use (Feil and Hasking, 2008;Johnson, Turner, and Iwata, 2003;Loxton and Hawe, 2001;Voight et al, 2009). For instance, van Leeuwen and colleagues (2011) found that BAS scores in early adolescence predicted greater use of tobacco and marijuana in mid-adolescence, whereas BIS scores were negatively related to repeated marijuana use.…”

“…EF coping strategies are typically used by substance abusers (Abbey, Smith, & Scott, 1993;Esposito-Smythers, Penn, Stein, Lacher-Katz, & Spirito, Twelve-Step Involvement and Coping Strategies 5 2008;Majer, Jason, Ferrari, North, & Olson, 2003;Wills et al, 2001), and research evidence suggests they are maladaptive mechanisms for supporting ongoing abstinence (Britton, 2004;Feil & Hasking, 2008;Holahan, Moos, Holahan, Cronkite, & Randall, 2001;Majer et al, 2003). However, seeking social support might be an effective alternative coping strategy to EF coping strategies for recovering substance abusers (Castellani et al, 1997;EspositoSmythers et al;Sun, 2007), who actively seek out support from their social group (e.g., AA/NA members).…”

The present study examined 12-step involvement categorically and its relation to coping strategies and self-efficacy for abstinence among 42 members of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous and 42 recovering addicts/alcoholics residing in democratically operated recovery homes (Oxford Houses). Participants who were categorically involved in a set of 12-step activities reported significantly lower levels of emotion-focused coping strategies and significantly higher levels of social-support coping strategies and self-efficacy for abstinence compared with those who were less involved. Twelve-step meeting attendance was not significantly related to outcomes. Findings suggest that categorical involvement in 12-step activities equips recovering alcoholics/addicts with active coping strategies for their ongoing recovery. Implications for future research are discussed.

“…Avoidance coping is a strategy of dealing with negative experiences through avoidance and has been shown to be related to both increased alcohol use (Cooper, Russell, & George, 1988;Feil & Hasking, 2008) and worse treatment outcomes (Feil & Hasking, 2008). Alcohol use disorder treatment often involves social situations, such as the group formats found in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA; Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, 2002) or the relapse prevention model (Marlatt & Witkiewitz, 2005).…”
