“…To address this concern, age was covaried for all analyses which used this measure. Studies have found correlations between the B-YAACQ and other non-age-specific alcohol use consequences measures (i.e., Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index) to range from .70 to .79 (Kahler et al, 2008;Pearson et al, 2012;Verster et al, 2009).…”

“…Replication 3: Impulsivity-like traits (Pearson et al, 2012b) In a sample of 278 college student drinkers, in separate models, researchers found that Manner of Drinking PBS use was a significant (or "marginally" significant) mediator of the associations of each impulsivity-like trait on alcohol use; double mediation through Manner of Drinking PBS use and alcohol use on alcohol-related problems was also observed. In a combined model in which other impulsivitylike traits were controlled, premeditation, perseverance, and sensation seeking were each significantly associated with PBS use, which in turn was associated with alcohol outcomes.…”

“…As noted in a comprehensive review of the literature (Pearson, 2013), several of these associations have only been examined in a single study: age at first use (Palmer et al, 2010), self-regulation (D'Lima et al, 2012), impulsivity-like traits (Pearson et al, 2012b), depressive symptoms (Martens et al, 2008), and conscientiousness (Martens et al, 2009). Therefore, these findings warrant replication in an independent sample.…”

“…comes via unique PBS components (see Table 1 for more detail). Consistent with Pearson et al (2012b), we conducted one model examining the associations of all five impulsivitylike traits on alcohol-related outcomes via PBS use as well as separate models in which each impulsivity-like trait was examined separately. All total, direct, and indirect associations for the separate models are shown in Table S1 and for the combined model are shown in Table S2.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:In the present study, we examined whether we could replicate previous findings that use of protective behavioral strategies (PBSs) mediates the associations between distal antecedents and alcohol-related outcomes in an independent sample. Further, we examined a more comprehensive model to determine which constructs uniquely (i.e., controlling for other distal antecedents) relate to PBS use and alcohol-related outcomes. Method: Participants were recruited from a psychology department participant pool at a large, southwestern university in the United States (N = 628). The majority of participants identified themselves as being either Hispanic (n = 334, 53.18%) or White, non-Hispanic (n = 212, 33.78%), were female (n = 386, 61.5%), and reported a mean age of 20.30 (SD = 3.80) years. Results: Across five replication attempts in separate models, we found significant indirect associations of age at first use, self-regulation, impulsivity-like traits, depressive symptoms, and conscientiousness on alcohol-related outcomes (i.e., use and problems) via PBS use. However, only the indirect associations of a second-order latent factor of self-regulation (based on premeditation, perseverance, self-regulation, and conscientiousness) and age at first use on alcohol-related outcomes via PBS use remained significant in the comprehensive model. Conclusions: Taken together, the replication attempts were largely successful in that nearly all associations were replicated in an independent sample of college students. However, in a comprehensive model with all distal antecedents simultaneously included, most of the direct and indirect associations failed to be supported. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 77, 958-967, 2016)

“…Reviews have demonstrated that PBS use is robustly negatively associated with a range of alcohol outcomes including alcohol use and ARC (Pearson, 2013;Prince et al, 2013). PBS use has also been examined as a mediator of the association between a wide range of variables and alcohol outcomes including impulsivity-like traits (Pearson et al, 2012b), conscientiousness (Martens et al, 2009), age at first alcohol use (Palmer et al, 2010), selfregulation (D'Lima et al, 2012), and depressive symptoms (Martens et al, 2008).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The present study attempted to assess the evidence of use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) as a mediator in the relationship between drinking motives and alcohol outcomes. Specifically, to understand various statistical approaches in modeling this proposed mediation model (e.g., drinking motives to PBS use to alcohol outcomes), we tried to replicate models based on earlier research. Method: To maximize the robustness of our replication attempts, we conducted each replication attempt across two distinct data sets whenever possible. Participants were recruited from psychology department research pools at a large southeastern U.S. university (Sample 1; n = 774) and a large southwestern U.S. university (Sample 2; n = 594). We matched the original articles' analytic procedures as closely as possible including overall analysis approach, measurement of variables, and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: Consistent with previous studies, we found that PBS use may be a mechanism through which both positively reinforcing (i.e., social and enhancement) motives and coping motives relate to alcohol outcomes (e.g., alcohol-related consequences). Specifically, students who tend to drink for these specific motives appear to use fewer PBS, which may place them at risk for heavier, more problematic drinking. Conclusions: Our results suggest that when drinking motives are examined separately, they demonstrate differential relationships with PBS use and alcohol outcomes. Overall, it is clear that PBS use plays a role in the drinking motives-alcohol outcomes relationship, but this role varies by type of motive. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 76, 872-883, 2015)
