Le rôle de la honte dans la compréhension des alcoolisations ponctuelles importantes.
Résumé
Presents a study aims to assess the role of emotionality within excessive alcohol consumption through analyzing its practice by French young adults. The psychometric evaluation was composed by a series of questionnaires measuring emotionality (EPN-31) and the use of alcohol (AUDIT). One hundred and twenty-six participants from the French general population, were divided into two groups: group CE "excessive consumption" which included 75 participants (16 men, 59 women) (average age: 24.6 ± 2 years) and group SCE 'non excessive consumption' which included 51 participants (17 men, 34 women) (average age: 25.3 ± 3.4 years). Due to high co-linearity between the scores and the sub-scores of emotionality, three multiple linear regression models were conducted. Two out of the three models demonstrated significance. The results underline an emotional dimension that appears to have an effect upon excessive alcohol consumption: negative emotions and, more specifically, shame. These results reinforce the hypothetical emotional regulation function of excessive alcohol consumption. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2015 APA, all rights reserved)
