Description
Research identifying the relationship between inhibition and binge drinking in
young adults is limited. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify which subcomponent(s)
of inhibitory performance is most sensitive at discerning binge-drinking behavior among
young adults through a longitudinal design. The sample consisted of 182 alcohol
consuming college students (48.3% male) with a mean age of 21.04±1.83 years.
Inhibitory processing and alcohol behavior were assessed at baseline and six months
later at follow-up. Alcohol behavior was also evaluated throughout participation via 13
biweekly alcohol logs. Multiple regression analysis revealed that interference inhibition
(Simon task) contributed to the prediction of the number of drinks consumed during
binge drinking occasion among males. These findings suggest that specific
subcomponents of response inhibition, and not others, are more suitable for predicting
alcohol consumption habits.
