The Impact of Emotion Dysregulation on the Relationships among Anxiety Sensitivity, Coping Drinking Motives, and Alcohol-Related Outcomes in College Women

Chandley, Rachel Burgard

Abstract Details

2011, Master of Arts, Miami University, Psychology.
The current study examined the relationships among anxiety sensitivity, coping drinking motives, emotion dysregulation, and alcohol use/problems in a sample of 223 undergraduate college women drinkers. Anxiety sensitivity was indirectly related to both alcohol-related problems and alcohol use through coping motives. The indirect effect of anxiety sensitivity on alcohol-related problems (but not alcohol use) through coping motives was qualified by the level of emotion dysregulation. As individuals became more emotionally dysregulated, the strength of the relationship between coping drinking motives and alcohol-related problems increased. Results confirm the importance of emotion dysregulation in explaining alcohol-related problems and have implications for the treatment and prevention of alcohol-related problems in college women.
