Gratification and its associations with problematic internet use: A systematic review and meta-analysis using Use and Gratification theory Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Dannuo Wei, Lik-Sam Chan, Nan Du, Xiujing Hu, Yu-Te Huang
Problematic Internet Use (PIU) has been a growing issue for two decades, and many researchers have sought to explain its occurrence. Use and Gratification Theory (UGT) has guided empirical studies investigating the associations between gratification and PIU. However, their results appear equivocal. This study aimed to synthesize research findings applying UGT and pinpoint the associations between different

Sports participation moderates the risk of family-specific negative life events on alcohol use among adolescents: Evidence from the longitudinal MyLife study Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-17 Cagdas Türkmen, Geir Scott Brunborg, Ingunn Olea Lund, Falk Kiefer, Sabine Vollstädt-Klein, Jasmina Burdzovic Andreas
Negative life events (NLE) have been associated with increased alcohol use (AU) during adolescence. However, whether this risk association may be modified by leisure activities such as sports participation (SP) remains poorly understood. This study examined whether accumulated family-specific NLE in particular were associated with greater AU, and if so, whether SP moderated this association to reduce

Examining within-person associations between alcohol and cannabis use and hooking up among adolescents and young adults in the United States Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-15 Melissa A. Lewis, Zhengyang Zhou, Anne M. Fairlie, Dana M. Litt, Femke Geusens, Kathleen A. Parks, Sean Esteban McCabe
This study examined daily associations between alcohol use, cannabis use, and simultaneous alcohol and cannabis/marijuana (SAM) use with the likelihood of hooking up (uncommitted sexual encounter that may or may not include intercourse).

E-cigarette use reasons and associated e-cigarette use dependence among college students: A longitudinal examination Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Tzung-Shiang Ou, Anne Buu, James J. Yang, Hsien-Chang Lin
Previous studies have established an understanding of reasons for e-cigarette use and associated e-cigarette use patterns such as use frequency, yet the critical extension to associated e-cigarette dependence outcome remains under-researched. This study used longitudinal data to examine whether the reasons for e-cigarette use predict a higher/lower level of e-cigarette dependence. This study recruited

Menthol versus tobacco e-liquid flavor: Impact on acute subjective effects, puff patterns, and intentions for use among Black and White menthol smokers Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Eleanor L.S. Leavens, Leah M. Lambart, Gideon St.Helen, Neal L. Benowitz, Matthew S. Mayo, Kazi M. Farhad Mahmud, Michael J. Arnold, Nicole L. Nollen
The proposed FDA product standard to prohibit menthol as a characterizing flavor in combustible cigarettes has the potential to significantly reduce tobacco-related health disparities. Whether a menthol e-liquid product standard would improve or hinder public health is unknown. No known research has directly examined the impact of menthol vs. tobacco flavored e-liquid use on acute e-cigarette use patterns

Characterizing alcohol cue reactive and non-reactive individuals with alcohol use disorder Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-10 Dylan E. Kirsch, Erica N. Grodin, Lara A. Ray
Exposure to alcohol-related cues is thought to elicit a conditional response characterized by increased craving in individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD). In the context of AUD research, it is important to consider that not all individuals with an AUD are alcohol cue reactive. This study systematically examined subjective alcohol cue reactivity and its clinical and drinking correlates in individuals

Abnormal structural covariance networks in young adults with recent cannabis use Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Jiahao Li, Hui Xu
Recent cannabis use (RCU) exerts adverse effects on the brain. However, the effect of RCU on structural covariance networks (SCNs) is still unclear. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to explore the effects of RCU on SCNs in young adults in terms of whole cerebral cortical thickness (CT) and cortical surface area (CSA). A total of 117 participants taking tetrahydrocannabinol (RCU group)

Despite experiencing alcohol-related consequences, college students continue to drink at high rates. Hypothetical evaluations of alcohol-related consequences (i.e., evaluations of where potential/hypothetical consequences lie on a spectrum from extremely positive to extremely negative) may contribute to the maintenance of drinking patterns among students. The purpose of the present study was to describe

Differentiating action from inaction: Longitudinal relations among impulsive personality traits, internalizing symptoms, and drinking behavior Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-17 Ricardo Woods-Gonzalez, Jack T. Waddell, Scott E. King, William R. Corbin
Impulsive personality traits are strong, consistent risk factors for heavy drinking, and modern theories suggest that impulsive traits may also confer risk for internalizing symptoms. However, it remains unclear which specific impulsive traits are linked with heavy drinking versus internalizing symptoms, and whether heavy drinking and internalizing symptoms are mechanisms of risk for negative alcohol

Sign-tracking to non-drug reward is related to severity of alcohol-use problems in a sample of individuals seeking treatment Addict. Behav. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-09 Poppy Watson, Katrina Prior, Nicole Ridley, Lauren Monds, Victoria Manning, Reinout W. Wiers, Mike E. Le Pelley
A prominent neuroscientific theory of drug addiction is the incentive sensitization model. Individual differences in the tendency to ascribe motivational salience to cues that predict reward, and involuntary “sign-tracking” (orientation towards) such cues have been identified as potentially important in understanding vulnerability to addiction and relapse. However, to date this behaviour has not been

Cashing out is a popular feature of modern ‘in-play’ sports betting that allows sports bettors to withdraw a bet before the sporting event on which the bet was placed is finalized. Previous studies have shown that use of the cash out feature is positively related to problem gambling symptomatology. However, little is known about demographic and psychological characteristics of in-play sports bettors

Homework is widely used in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Theoretically, homework helps clients generalize skills acquired during treatment to their daily lives. However, clinical trials methodology has typically employed pre- and post-treatment assessments which has made evaluating the contribution of homework to behavior change a challenge.

Introduction Rate of alcohol consumption, the speed with which people drink, has been linked to a range of outcomes, including alcohol use disorder symptoms and increased positive affect. However, minimal work has identified who is most likely to drink at elevated rates. Impulsivity is associated with increased attention to positive reinforcers specifically (e.g., positive affect). We therefore examined
