Internalizing symptoms, negative urgency, and coping motives: Potential pathways to alcohol consequences.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveBuilding upon prior research, the present study tested coping motives as a mediator of relations between both negative urgency and internalizing symptoms (depression, anxiety, and stress), and alcohol-related consequences using longitudinal data. We also tested negative urgency as a moderator of prospective relations between specific internalizing symptoms and alcohol-related consequences.
methodThe study utilized data from a longitudinal study of young adults (
resultsProspective indirect effects of internalizing symptoms and negative urgency on alcohol consequences through coping motives were not observed. However, cross-sectional post hoc analyses indicated that higher levels of internalizing and negative urgency were indirectly associated with greater alcohol consequences through coping motives, with similar patterns observed for depression, anxiety, and stress. Although support was found for mediated effects in the cross-sectional model, no evidence was found for negative urgency moderating the impact of internalizing, stress, anxiety, or depression on alcohol consequences in either cross-sectional or longitudinal models.
conclusionFindings provide cross-sectional but not longitudinal support for coping motives as a potential mechanism through which a broad range of internalizing symptoms are associated with alcohol consequences. Findings did not support interactions between negative urgency and internalizing symptoms. The results highlight the need for further exploration of mediated effects using ecological momentary assessments. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
