Abstract
Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct which has been associated with alcohol use/related problems, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The current study considered the role of emotional regulation in the relationships of impulsivity facets (as assessed via the UPPS-P) with alcohol use/problems. Self-reported data from an online questionnaire of young Australian university students (N = 249; 72.3% female; aged 18–25 years) demonstrated that negative urgency and lack of premeditation predicted greater alcohol use. Among impulsivity facets, negative urgency and positive urgency predicted more alcohol-related problems. No indirect effects were identified from the urgency traits to alcohol use/problems via emotional regulation. Future research should examine the subfacets of emotional regulation in these relationships to potentially help inform intervention
