Abstract

The development of comprehensive theories regarding the determinants of vulnerability toward drinking problems depends in part on longitudinal evidence linking psychosocial precursors to clinically-relevant problem consequences. In an investigation of some of the more promising psychosocial precursors of problem vulnerability, we evaluated the long-term predictive effects of adolescent cognitive motivations for alcohol use and sensation seeking on a wide variety of adult drinking-problem consequences including driving while intoxicated (DWI). Results indicated that the Cognitive Motivation factor was a significant, independent, nine-year predictor of a factor of Drinking-Problem Consequences
