Background: Recent work suggests that 2 biologically based traits convey risk for alcohol
misuse: reward sensitivity/drive and (rash) impulsiveness. However, the cognitive …

There is consistent evidence that impulsivity-like traits relate to problematic alcohol
involvement; however, identifying mechanisms that account for this relation remains an …

Rationale Hazardous drinking is associated with both increased impulsivity and automatic
approach tendencies elicited by alcohol-related cues. However, impulsivity is a multi …

Background: Higher levels of impulsivity have been implicated in the development of alcohol
use disorders. Recent findings suggest that impulsivity is not a unitary construct, highlighted …

Trait impulsivity is a reliable, robust predictor of risky, problematic alcohol use. Mounting
evidence supports a multidimensional model of impulsivity, whereby several distinct traits …

Impaired control over alcohol is an important risk factor for heavy drinking among young
adults and may mediate, in part, the association between personality risk and alcohol …

Aims Studies of social drinkers indicate that subjective response (SR) to alcohol and
impulsivity are risk factors for the development of alcohol use disorder which may be related …

Impulsivity and risk-taking are multi-dimensional constructs that have been implicated in
heavy drinking and alcohol problems. Our aim was to identify the specific component of …

Personality and cognitive processes are both related to alcohol use and misuse. A recent
model of hazardous drinking referred, the 2-CARS model, postulates two major pathways to …

Objective: Impulsivity is strongly associated with alcohol-related risk-taking behavior, and
this association has been found to be mediated by alcohol cognitions. The current study …
