Özet:
This study tested a structural equation model of relationships between effortful control, reactivity, health and drinking habits, health and drinking automaticity, effortful inhibition, drinking quantity, and alcohol-related problems in a sample of college students (N = 406). Dual-process models of self-regulation suggest that different facets of self-regulation uniquely predict substance use via a variety of mediators such as socio-environmental context (Wills et al., 2013). Individual's socio-environmental context may, in part, be shaped by personal habits, both adaptive and maladaptive. The proposed study hypothesized two distinct mechanisms. First, that effortful control would be inversely associated with alcohol-related problems via health habits, automaticity of health behaviors, and decreased effortful inhibition. The second is that reactivity is indirectly related to more alcohol-related problems via stronger drinking habits, more drinking automaticity, more alcohol use, and increased effortful inhibition. Per the strength model of self-regulation (Baumeister et al., 1998), effortful inhibition was hypothesized to predict greater alcohol problems, controlling for drinking. Consistent with hypotheses, effortful control and reactivity were positively associated with health and drinking habits, respectively. Health and drinking habits were positively associated with automaticity. Health automaticity was inversely associated with effortful inhibition whereas reactivity was positively related to effortful inhibition, as hypothesized. However, health habits were positively, instead of inversely associated with drinking habits in the multivariate model. As expected, effortful control was inversely associated with effortful inhibition through stronger health habits and automaticity. Contrary to hypothesis, effortful inhibition was inversely, instead of positively associated with alcohol problems. As such, several hypothesized indirect effects via effortful inhibition were not supported. Consistent with hypothesis, reactivity was associated with more alcohol problems and this effect was partially indirect via alcohol habits and automaticity. Bivariate associations between effortful control and alcohol problems were inverse as expected. However, the total effect in the multivariate model was positive, indicating some form of suppressor effect. In summary, results indicate that effortful control and reactivity exhibit unique associations with health and drinking habits, automaticity, and effortful inhibition. However, the effect of effortful inhibition was not consistent with the hypothesized depletion process. Instead effortful inhibition was inversely associated with alcohol-related problems.
