DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed program of research is to further examine the role of positive urgency in college alcohol use and risky behavior. Positive urgency can be defined as the tendency to act rashly and maladaptively while in a very positive mood state; it may be an important predictor of college drinking and risk taking, which tend to be celebratory in nature. In a recent series of studies, I developed and validated self-report and interview measures of positive urgency: the measures related to drinking quantity/frequency, problem drinking, and certain kinds of risky behavior. With this award, I propose to first test whether positive urgency, measured at the beginning of the freshman year in college, predicts problem drinking and drinking while in a positive mood over the course of that first year. Second, I propose to conduct three laboratory experiments. Those experiments will show that (a) individuals high in positive urgency become more disinhibited when in a very positive mood than when not; (b) they become more disinhibited when in a positive mood than do individuals low in positive urgency; and (c) they drink more alcohol when in a very positive mood than do others.

描述（由申请人提供）：拟议的研究计划的目的是进一步研究积极紧迫性在大学饮酒和风险行为中的作用。积极的紧迫性可以定义为在非常积极的情绪状态下轻率地行动不良的趋势。这可能是大学饮酒和冒险服用的重要预测指标，这本质上往往是庆祝的。在最近的一系列研究中，我制定并验证了积极紧迫性的自我报告和访谈措施：与饮酒数量/频率，问题饮酒和某些风险行为有关的措施。有了这个奖项，我建议首先测试在大学一年级开始时测量的积极紧迫性是否可以预测问题的饮酒和饮酒，而在第一年的整个过程中都有积极的心情。其次，我建议进行三个实验室实验。这些实验将表明（a）在心情非常积极的情绪时，高积极紧迫性的个体比没有时会更加抑制； （b）在积极的情绪中，它们比在积极紧迫感低的个人时更加受到抑制； （c）当心情非常积极时，他们喝的酒比其他人多。
