註釋The comorbidity rates between Mood and Anxiety Disorders (MADs) and Alcohol Use disorders (AUDs) are high and are associated with poorer problems and treatment outcomes. Both disorders have been associated with the Drinking to Cope (DTC) motive, which is simlar to the process of Experiential Avoidance (EA), the attempt to alter unwanted internal private experiences. This study investigated the role of EA in the relationship between drinking to cope and mood and anxiety symptoms on both a state and trait level. An undergraduate college sample (N - 92) was assessed for levels of depression and anxiety symptoms before undergoing a NA induction procedure. Participants were then exposed to alcohol cues. Finally, drinking motives adn EA were assessed. The result confirmed the hypothesized relationship between EA and DTC, as well as the hypothesized relationship between NA and DTC. However, the hypothesized mediational role of EA in the relationship between NA and DTC was not substantiated. The established relationship between EA, trait DTC, and trait NA suggests that treatment of EA may be used as an integrative treatment for the MAD and AUD comorbidity.
