This book was released on 2021 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking for emotion regulation may be a particular concern for college students who have experienced childhood maltreatment due to difficulty tolerating high levels of trauma-related shame and guilt. While shame-proneness has been associated with higher levels of problematic alcohol use through more drinking-to-cope, guilt-proneness is inversely related. The relations of shame and guilt to drinking outcomes have not been explored among trauma-exposed samples, and it is believed that trauma related guilt may function more like shame-proneness than guilt-proneness. The present study tested how shame-proneness, guilt-proneness, and trauma-related guilt are differently related to drinking motives and, in turn, how this pathway relates to drinking behaviors and alcohol-related consequences in individuals who have experienced childhood maltreatment. In a sample of 252 undergraduates with maltreatment experiences and alcohol use, bootstrapped estimations revealed significant serial indirect effects of childhood maltreatment on alcohol use through trauma-related guilt and subsequent drinking to-cope and through shame-proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope, but not through guilt-proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope. There were also significant serial indirect effects of childhood maltreatment on alcohol use-related consequences through trauma-related guilt and subsequent drinking-to-cope and through shame- proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope, but not through guilt-proneness and subsequent drinking-to-cope. As predicted, trauma-related guilt was found to function similarly to shame-proneness within this sample. Thus, on college campuses, in order to prevent the development of alcohol use disorders among childhood maltreatment survivors, interventions should target maladaptive feelings of shame and guilt.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy alcohol use by college students is a major concern in today's society. Alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems are thought to be the one of the most significant concerns on college campuses in the United States. Young adults aged 18-24 years show the highest rates of alcohol use and also have the greatest percentage of problem drinkers, and the rates of binge drinking are higher among college students than for individuals in the same age range who do not attend college. Between 75%-90% of college students drink alcohol, and more than half report heavy or binge drinking. Binge drinking may lead to the experiencing of many negative consequences such as missing class, interpersonal conflict, and even death. In order to prevent or reduce binge drinking among college students, it is important to know the risk and protective factors for binge drinking Previous research has shown that peers' attitudes and behaviors regarding alcohol are related to one's own alcohol consumption. In particular, the influence of same-age peers' behavior regarding alcohol use has been well documented. Contrary to the assumption that parents no longer exert any influence over their college-aged child's alcohol use behavior, previous research has found that parent factors may represent an important protective influence on late adolescent drinking. Parents may continue to influence their children's behavior regarding alcohol use via communication about expectancies, setting limits, and the transmission of values. However, there may be variation in the nature and substance of the parent-child communication about alcohol. Therefore, it is important to examine the nature and content of parent-child communication regarding alcohol use. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of parental communication on college student binge drinking. The various consequences of binge drinking may be the most salient factors involving the student's decision to engage in binge drinking during college. Thus, it was hypothesized that expectations regarding the physical, social, legal and academic consequences of binge drinking will mediate the relationship between parental communication and binge drinking. These hypotheses were tested using 761 undergraduate students from a large, public university in the Southwest who completed an online survey assessing drinking behavior, including how often the participants talked to their parents about alcohol use and whether or not these communications included discussions about the consequences of heavy drinking. The findings revealed that frequent communication between parents and students actually increases the likelihood of binge drinking episodes. The indirect relationship between communication and binge drinking via communication about the consequences of heavy drinking failed to reach significance.

This book was released on with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research into alcohol use by young people is mostly focused on adolescents, secondary or further education students rather than university students. However, alcohol drinking among university students is a widely recognized problem and represents a serious health and cultural problem, with many negative individual, interpersonal and cultural consequences. Binge drinking, an increasingly common pattern of excessive alcohol use with serious negative consequences for individual drinkers, those around them, and the university environment, is a major problem on university campuses. Alcohol consumption among youths is affected by a complex of risk and protective factors, investigation of which is essential for a better understanding and focusing of the intervention procedures. The complex linkages of risk and protective factors and problem behaviours change over time and within different cultures and countries. The importance of this kind of research for the field of prevention is obvious: If we can determine the personal and interpersonal protective and risk factors affecting alcohol-use behaviour, we can better plan preventive interventions focused on creating and enhancing the personal protective attributes. To design and develop appropriate interventions, to improve behavioural outcomes for adolescents, a better understanding of these complexities and relations is required.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood maltreatment is a major problem internationally, with millions of children affected (Cross & Hershkowitz, 2017), and abuse can lead to many long-term effects throughout the lifespan (Felitti et al., 1998). The current study aimed to better understand the long-term impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACES) on functioning in first-year college students using data collected from a large, Mid-Atlantic university. Linear regression was used to examine the impact of cumulative ACES scores on college adjustment and alcohol use in the sample. The analyses suggested a significant relationship between ACES score and college adjustment, but a non-significant relationship between ACES and alcohol use. Moderation effects were also analyzed, and gender was found significantly moderate the relationship between ACES and college adjustment in the sample, with males displaying significantly lower college adjustment scores than females. The findings of this study have important implications for professionals in both the grade-school and post-secondary settings, and supports the use of trauma-informed practices with children and youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A possible theoretical construct to lend additional explanation for problematic drinking is the Health Belief Model (Rosenstock, 1966). Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among social norms, health beliefs, and problematic drinking among college students. It is possible that personal health beliefs may influence students' decisions about drinking, in addition to their perceptions about how much and how often their peers consume alcohol. It is important to research a health theory that is designed to understand individual behavioral choices based on how they impact health and the possibility that this extends and mediates the already established relationship between social norms theory and problematic drinking behavior."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 700, 000 children are abused in the United States annually, with a lifetime cost of $210, 000 per individual. One unfortunate consequence for male victims is poor coping skills as adults, such as alcohol abuse or problematic consumption. Due to 90% of Alcohol Abuse Disorders going untreated, there are many implications for field the of social work. This literature review that explored the relationship between child abuse and alcohol abuse in adult males, and the effectiveness of psychotherapies and pharmacotherapies. Twenty-four out of 25 studies reviewed reported a correlation between the two variables. Additionally, there were five mediating factors identified: co-occurring substance abuse, mental health, parental substance abuse, memory of/recollecting abuse, and further research. Mental health was identified as the strongest moderating variable. Chapter three compared two forms of interventions for problematic alcohol consumption and alcohol abuse; psychotherapies and pharmacotherapies. The most discussed pharmacotherapies were Acamprosate and Naltrexone, and the literature found that there was promise in the extended use of Acamprosate. Among psychotherapies, the use of smart phones and computer based applications in addition to psychotherapies was found to be promising. Although mental health was found to be a large mediating factor, it was not found to be a target among interventions reviewed. The limitations to this literature review included lack of diversity among studies and conflicting results among the possible interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence suggests relationships between childhood maltreatment, alcohol abuse, emotion dysregulation, and the reinforcement sensitivity systems. The purpose of the current study was to further delineate these relationships, exploring a moderated mediation model from childhood maltreatment to alcohol abuse. It was expected that childhood maltreatment would be positively related to alcohol abuse, with this relationship mediated by emotion dysregulation. The relationship between childhood maltreatment and emotion dysregulation was also expected to be moderated by the behavioral activation system and fight-flight-freeze system. Data were collected from undergraduate students using an online survey in which participants completed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Jackson-5 scales of revised reinforcement sensitivity theory. It was found that emotion dysregulation completely mediated the relationship between childhood maltreatment and alcohol abuse, but there was no evidence of moderation in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and emotion dysregulation. Alternate pathways from the behavioral activation system and fight-flight-freeze system were also found. The evidence of various paths associated with alcohol abuse may carry important treatment implications for those with alcohol use disorder.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Nearly half of all undergraduate college students are enrolled in community colleges; yet, the majority of college student health-related research is focused on four-year college students. Alcohol use is one such area where community college research is limited. Research has demonstrated that the use of Protective Behavioral Strategies (PBS) is associated with decreased alcohol use and alcohol-related negative consequences. This dissertation examined short-term changes in the use of PBS, as well as changes in alcohol use and alcohol-related negative consequences as a result of a brief in-class intervention. Methods: Participants were recruited from select courses at a community college. Study participants completed a pen and paper administration of several psychometrically-validated survey instruments that contain items specific to alcohol use, PBS use, and alcohol-related negative consequences. To assess the effects of the intervention, ANCOVA and MANCOVA analyses were conducted. A series of four regression analyses were conducted to test each of three hypothesized mediation models. Results: Two hundred six participants were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned by classroom to an intervention (N = 105) or control (N = 101) group; 179 (87%) participants completed the follow-up survey approximately 3 months later. Analysis of covariance tests did not yield significant differences with respect to overall PBS use, typical number drinks per drinking day, number of heavy drinking days or reported alcohol-related negative consequences between the intervention and control groups at follow-up. The mediation hypotheses were not supported. Conclusions: Participation in the brief intervention did not result in statistically significant changes in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related negative consequences at the time of follow-up. Further in-class brief intervention research needs to be conducted in community colleges to determine the best practices for this setting.

Download or read book Examining the Role of Shame as a Mediator of Childhood Sexual Abuse and Self injury written by Sarah Donhauser and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The negative effects of childhood sexual abuse often last well into adulthood. Both self-injury and internalized shame have been found to be associated with childhood sexual abuse and are the effects of interest in this study. Understanding the etiology of self-injury is crucial to empathic responding and effective treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine whether internalized shame mediates the relationship between childhood sexual abuse severity (CSA) and self-injury frequency (SIF). A quantitative ex-post facto survey research design was utilized. Students at two universities in South Central Texas and adult clients of The Rape Crisis Center of San Antonio were invited to participate by accessing and completing an online survey that included a demographic questionnaire, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Internalized Shame Scale (ISS), and Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI). The clients and students differed significantly on the independent variable, sexual abuse severity as measured by the CTQ; therefore, the researcher was unable to combine them into one sample. The results were analyzed separately for students (n=30) and clients (n=21), who reported a history of childhood sexual abuse using a series of regressions outlined by Baron and Kenny with the addition of the Sobel test and bootstrap method. Results indicated there was not a statistically significant correlation between CSA and SIF in either the student or client sub-sample. Thus, a mediation effect was impossible to establish since a significant main effect is a requirement in establishing mediation. ISS was predictive of SIF in the student sub-sample, but not in the client sub-sample. CSA was predictive of ISS in the client sub-sample, but not in the student sub-sample. Internalized shame seems to be an important target in counseling university students that self-injure and clients with a sexual abuse history whether or not they self-injure. Further research is needed to more fully understand what leads individuals to self-injure.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of college students (82%) report consuming alcohol, and 37% are heavy episodic drinkers (Johnston, O'Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2009). Prior research has examined the role of parents and college students' alcohol use; however, no research has addressed the role of parental modeling of protective behavioral strategies for alcohol use and community college student drinking behaviors. An online assessment was conducted at a local community college (N= 171) to assess alcohol use, negative consequences, use of protective strategies and students' perceptions of parental protective strategies. Students were ·asked to rate their biological parents or their foster/adopted/guardian parents independently on an 8-point Likert scale of varying alcohol use and alcohol-related behaviors. Students with parents who drank alcohol even among heavy drinking parents and perceived their parents to be using protective behavioral strategies were more likely to engage in protective behavioral strategies. As well, students of parents who did not drink alcohol endorsed using protective behavioral strategies when they drank alcohol.
