Background: Sher, Grekin, and Williams (2005) pointed out the existence of 4 main etiological, but
not mutually exclusive, models that might explain the development of alcohol use and misuse. The aim
of the present study was to explore 3 of these 4 pathways in which psychological (personality and drinking
motives) and environmental (child maltreatment) variables may play a relevant role: positive affect
regulation, negative affect regulation, and deviance proneness.
Methods: Three hundred and fourteen young adults in the 18 to 29 year age range completed different
personality, alcoholuse, andchildmaltreatment questionnaires at Time1.Five years later, they responded
to drinkingmotives,antisocial behavior, alcohol use, andalcohol-related problemsquestionnaires.
Results: The path analyses showed that emotional abuse predicted negative emotionality, which, in
turn, prospectively predicted alcohol-related problems through coping-with-depression drinking
motives (negative affect regulation). Emotional neglect predicted lesser positive emotionality, and physical
abuse predicted unconscientious disinhibition personality characteristics. In turn, these 2 broad personality
domains predicted drinking at weekends at Time 2 through enhancement drinking motives
(positive affect regulation). Finally, physical neglect predicted disagreeable disinhibition, and both disinhibition
domains directly predicted antisocial behavior 5 years later which, in turn, predicted drinking
at weekends, drinking on weekdays, and alcohol-related problems (deviance proneness).
Conclusions: The findings describe the specific role of distal (maltreatment and personality) and
more proximal (antisocial behavior and drinking motives) variables in the different pathways involved
in the development of alcohol use and misuse. [-]
