Objective: Prior research has indicated that outcome expectancies, sensitivity to punishment, and sensitivity to reward may predict harmful health behaviors concurrently, including disordered eating. Loss-of-control eating (LOCE), feeling unable to resist eating or stop once one has started, is associated with expectancies that eating alleviates negative affect (NA reduction expectancies) and expectancies that eating is rewarding (reward expectancies).
Method: A survey battery was administered examining LOCE pathology, sensitivity to punishment, sensitivity to reward, and eating expectancies to a sample of 1660 adults in the United States ( = 39.
College students continue to report problematic alcohol use. To mitigate adverse outcomes, recent studies have employed harm reduction strategies known as Protective Behavioral Strategies (PBS). Deviance Regulation Theory (DRT), an impression management intervention, has been used to promote the use of PBS.

- The study focused on protective behavioral strategies (PBS) for alcohol use and tested a two-factor model against the traditionally used three-factor model from the PBSS-20 among nearly 4,900 drinkers.
- Both models showed similar effectiveness, but the two-factor model was simpler and provided more straightforward measurement of PBS.
- The research found that the two-factor model had negative relationships with alcohol consumption and problems, suggesting a clearer framework for understanding how PBS impact alcohol-related outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- * The Sexual and Negative Dating Inventory (SANDI) measures protective strategies in dating and sexual contexts, showing promise in reducing ASEs among college students, particularly in a sample of 313 SGM individuals.
- * Although SANDI did not predict a history of sexual violence, it was associated with lower sexual risk and reduced regretted sex over time, emphasizing the need for protective behaviors tailored to diverse gender and sexual identities.
Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights a connection between an individual's identity and their behavior changes, especially regarding responsible drinking habits.
- The study introduced a new tool called the Personal Assessment of Responsible Drinking Identity (PARDI) to measure aspects of responsible drinking identity among college students.
- The findings suggest that PARDI is a reliable and valid measure that can predict safe drinking behaviors and may help improve substance use interventions by focusing on responsible drinking identity.
