Abstract

Drinking alcohol to cope with stress and negative emotions, has been repeatedly through previous studies. The purpose of this study was to determine negative emotion mediates the relationship between stress and alcohol craving by using experience sampling method (ESM) to detect instantaneous experiences and emotions in daily life. To expand upon previous studies, the effects of individual emotions (eg, anger, frustration, depression, etc. among negative emotions) were examined. Th study involved 19 males and females age 25-50 who were social drinkers. ESM was used to measure the levels of stress, emotional states, and alcohol craving for the subjects in their daily lives. The questionnaires for ESM were in the form of a web survey, and delivered to the subjects directly through a smartphone four times daily. Subjects were asked to respond to the stress, emotional states and alcohol craving at the moment they received a signal through their smartphone. The data were obtained 52 times, four times daily. For 13 days of surveying 19 subjects, a total of 988 data were obtained. The hierarchical linear model (HLM) of the multi-layered data showed that anger and frustration among negative emotions significantly mediated the relationship between stress and alcohol craving. This study suggests the role of certain negative emotions in relation to stress-induced drinking by using ESM. Based on this, it is expected that an effective way to reduce the level of alcohol consumption or cope with stress for drinkers or individuals with alcohol use disorders can be proposed.
