Development and validation of the appearance and performance enhancing drug use schedule   Original Research Article

Pages 949-958
Tom Hildebrandt, James W. Langenbucher, Justine Karmin Lai, Katharine L. Loeb, Eric Hollander

Research highlights

► The APEDUS is the first standardized assessment of the APED phenomenon. ► The APEDUS has strong evidence for inter-rater and test-retest reliability. ► The APEDUS is a sensitive and specific measure of anabolic steroid dependence. ► The APEDUS subscales have strong convergent and divergent validity. ► APED users are accurate self-reporters of the APEDs they use.

Selected impulsivity facets with alcohol use/problems: The mediating role of drinking motives   Original Research Article

Pages 959-964
Angela L. Curcio, Amanda M. George

Highlights

► We examine different facets of impulsivity in predicting student alcohol use/problems. ► Sensation seeking influences alcohol use via enhancement motives. ► Negative urgency predicts alcohol-related problems but not use. ► Demonstrates theoretical differences in impulsivity traits. ► Younger and residential students at risk of increased use.

The alternative five-factor model of personality, nicotine dependence and relapse after treatment for smoking cessation   Original Research Article

Pages 965-971
Gemma Nieva, Sergi Valero, Eugeni Bruguera, Óscar Andión, Ma. Victoria Trasovares, Antoni Gual, Miquel Casas

Research highlights

► We analyze relationship between personality, nicotine dependence, use and cessation. ► Results varied according to gender. ► In men, low scores on Sociability predicted high dependence. ► High Impulsivity–Sens Seeking and Gen Activity predicted high nicotine use in women. ► High Impulsivity and Sociability predicted relapse in males and females respectively.

To drink or not to drink: Motives and expectancies for use and nonuse in adolescence   Original Research Article

Pages 972-979
Kristen G. Anderson, Ilan Grunwald, Nicole Bekman, Sandra A. Brown, Alexandra Grant

Research highlights

► Motives not to drink are important factors to consider in models of adolescent alcohol use decision-making. ► Negatively associated with motives to drink and positive alcohol expectancies. ► Positively related to expectancies for not drinking. ► Generally predicted less adolescent alcohol consumption and problems in high school. ► Interesting patterns of moderation occurred when considered in tandem with other drinking-related cognitions.

Using the theory of planned behaviour and prototype willingness model to target binge drinking in female undergraduate university students   Original Research Article

Pages 980-986
Jemma Todd, Barbara Mullan

Highlights

►We attempt to reduce binge drinking in female undergraduates in two ways. ►A prototype willingness model manipulation was ineffective. ►A mere measurement effect/theory of planned behaviour manipulation was effective. ►Based on findings, female binge drinking appears planned and intentional.

Predicting relapse among young adults: Psychometric validation of the advanced warning of relapse (AWARE) scale   Original Research Article

Pages 987-993
John F. Kelly, Bettina B. Hoeppner, Karen A. Urbanoski, Valerie Slaymaker

Research highlights

► Relapse following the withdrawal of substance use treatment is common. ► There is little available information regarding validated measures of relapse risk. ► The study examined the AWARE scale in young adults undergoing residential treatment. ► We found an internally consistent, 25-item, factor having convergent validity. ► AWARE scores predicted relapse alone and when controlling for other predictors.

A prospective examination of the relationships between PTSD, exposure to assaultive violence, and cigarette smoking among a national sample of adolescents   Original Research Article

Pages 994-1000
Josh M. Cisler, Ananda B. Amstadter, Angela M. Begle, Heidi S. Resnick, Carla Kmett Danielson, Ben E. Saunders, Dean G. Kilpatrick

Research highlights

► PTSD, assaultive violence exposure, and cigarette smoking frequently co-occur. ► Assaultive violence exposures prospectively predicted cigarette smoking. ► PTSD and non-assaultive traumatic event exposures were less consistent predictors.

Coping motives as a mediator of the relationship between sexual coercion and problem drinking in college students   Original Research Article

Pages 1001-1007
Nicole Fossos, Debra Kaysen, Clayton Neighbors, Kristen P. Lindgren, M. Christina Hove

Research highlights

► Sexual coercion and heavy drinking frequently occur in college populations. ► Few studies have directly examined coping motives for drinking as a mediator. ► Coping motives were examined in the relation between coercion and drinking. ► Results support coping motives as a mediator for women and partial mediator for men.

Research highlights

► Students use less protective drinking strategies after matriculating to college. ► Peak BAC and “intent to get drunk” increase after the start of school. ► Heavier drinking students use less protective drinking strategies. ► Women use more protective drinking strategies than men. ► Women and men show similar patterns of “intent to get drunk.”

Pages 1015-1018

Alcohol, violence, and the alcohol myopia model: Preliminary findings and implications for prevention   

Pages 1019-1022
Peter R. Giancola, Aaron A. Duke, Katalin Z. Ritz

Research highlights

► We tested whether the Alcohol Myopia Model would help explain alcohol-related violence. ► Despite equally intoxication, participants exposed to violence-inhibiting cues were less aggressive than those exposed to violence-promoting cues. ► The AMM holds great promise to develop effective prevention interventions for alcohol-related violence.

The role of executive function in bridging the intention-behaviour gap for binge-drinking in university students   

Pages 1023-1026
Barbara Mullan, Cara Wong, Vanessa Allom, Sophia Laurel Pack

Research highlights

► Scores on EF tasks differentiated between binge-drinkers and non binge-drinkers. ► Planning and inhibition moderated the relationship between intention and behaviour. ► People with high intentions and high EF ability were less likely to binge drink. ► The results can be applied to interventions aimed to reduce binge-drinker behaviour.
