Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.1K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

326
Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep

539
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.
Understanding the concepts of physical dependence,...

CNS Depressants: Alcohol and Nicotine

1.6K
Ethanol, a clear colorless alcohol, has been consumed by humans for millennia, but its effects on the body are far from benign. At lower doses, it induces decreased inhibitions and loquaciousness, leading to its social appeal. However, it can cause severe consequences at higher doses, such as coma and respiratory depression, due to its zero-order elimination kinetics. Chronic ethanol abuse wreaks havoc on multiple organ systems, particularly the CNS and the liver. Abrupt cessation of ethanol...

Self-Regulation01:25

Self-Regulation

322
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...

The Influence of Cognition on Affect01:29

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

291
Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

Summary

Young women with difficulty controlling impulses when feeling negative emotions often drink to cope, increasing hazardous alcohol use. This study confirms drinking to cope as a key link between impulse control issues and risky drinking behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Addiction Research
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Difficulty controlling impulsive behaviors during negative emotions is a significant risk factor for hazardous alcohol use.
  • Prior research suggests that drinking to cope may mediate the link between impulse control difficulties and alcohol misuse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively examine the mediating role of drinking to cope in the relationship between emotion-driven impulse control difficulties and hazardous alcohol use among young adult women.
  • To investigate these relationships both between and within individuals over time.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 490 young adult women (ages 18-25).
  • Data collection occurred at 6 time points over approximately 20 months.
  • Multilevel structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • Drinking to cope fully mediated the association between emotion-driven impulse control difficulties and hazardous alcohol use at the between-individual level.
  • Drinking to cope partially mediated this relationship at the within-individual level.
  • These findings highlight drinking to cope as a crucial mechanism linking impulse control problems to hazardous drinking.

Conclusions:

  • Drinking to cope is a significant mediator in the pathway from emotion-driven impulse control difficulties to hazardous alcohol use in young women.
  • Interventions targeting both emotion dysregulation and drinking to cope strategies are recommended for treating alcohol use problems in this demographic.
