History of Childhood Physical Abuse and Current Risky Drinking: The Role of Coping Motives
H. Addison Lowery, Deepali M. Dhruve, and Arazais D. Oliveros
A childhood history of physical abuse is associated with increased risky drinking in adolescence, and a two-fold risk of alcohol dependence. Research on substance use disorders (SUD) suggests that people who drink with the motivation to cope with their emotions face a greater risk of SUD. Given that childhood physical abuse is associated with emotional difficulties, the current study examined the interplay between childhood physical discipline (inclusive of abuse) and coping motives in predicting risky drinking. Specifically, we expected ratings of childhood physical discipline and current risky drinking to be associated positively and for that relation to be mediated (explained) to some extent by their motivation to drink for emotional coping.
