..Notably, coping-anxiety and coping-depression motives were distinctly related to alcohol consumption and alcohol problems...

..The ASI-3 displayed generally good performance on other indices of reliability and validity, along with evidence of improved psychometric properties over the original ASI...

..e., anxious and depressed affect) in exploring the affective antecedents of explicit alcohol outcome expectancies...

..e., an attentional bias toward) alcohol (vs. non-alcohol) target words...

..49 [positive]), supporting the criterion validity of the IGS-10. Since minimal information is lost when using the IGS-10, the short form may prove particularly useful when respondent burden prevents using the full IGS-63...

..Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed...

..We discuss ways in which the information gleaned from this sample can be used to improve disaster response planning to minimize the probability of maladaptive coping drinking among volunteers...

..However, PPGs were not more susceptible to alcohol- and/or VLT play-induced heart rate accelerations than were NPGs. Implications for gambling/alcohol-disorder comorbidity are discussed...

..They also review implications for refinements of behavior therapy for problem drinkers...

..The present study provides additional support for the theoretical hierarchical structure of AS and suggests that there is a difference in the manifestation of AS between girls and boys...

..Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed...

..The symposium highlighted novel approaches that researchers are using to enhance understanding of functional relations that may underlie this common comorbidity...

..Results provide novel information that the combination of VLT play and alcohol further intensifies heart rate increase relative to either alone. Implications for pathological gambling and alcohol use disorder comorbidity are discussed...

..g., negatively reinforcing drinking situations) which place them at greatest risk for alcohol misuse...

....

..The theoretical and clinical implications of benzodiazepine-induced memory impairments are discussed...

..g., cognitive and behavioural outcomes relevant to social anxiety)...

..The findings have direct implications for improving methods of predicting alcohol use and in understanding the role of alcohol cognitions in various contexts associated with alcohol use...

..The findings here raise questions about whether or not clients receive sufficient education about harm reduction and controlled drinking and make adequately informed choices...

..Implications for designing targeted tobacco interventions for high AS smokers are discussed...

....

..Thus, chronic dieting appears to be related to a relatively heavy drinking pattern that can be characterized as potentially risky, due to its established associations with adverse health and social consequences...

..g. CASI Social Concerns scores predicted Social Phobia symptoms). Overall, this study demonstrates that there is added value in measuring AS factors in children and adolescents...

....

..CONCLUSIONS: These results lend support to the stress-response dampening model of the alcohol-aggression relationship, and moreover suggest that the magnitude of intoxicated aggression is related to the magnitude of that dampening...
