The Moderating Role of Working Memory Capacity and Alcohol-Specific Rule-Setting on the Relation Between Approach Tendencies and Alcohol Use in Young Adolescents

摘要

Background: Dual process models of alcohol addiction propose that the transition from normative alcohol consumption to heavy drinking is the result of an imbalance in interplay between relatively impulsive or automatic and reflective or controlled processes. The current study examines whether impulsive and reflective processes are also detectable in a sample of adolescents with limited alcohol use.
