Adult attachment, maladaptive coping, alcohol consumption, and drinking-related problems

ABSTRACT This study examined the relation between adult attachment and drinking-related problems among college students and how maladaptive, insecure attachment-based coping strategies and alcohol consumption explained such link. A total of 257 college students completed research questionnaires. Results indicated that individuals with a history of family addiction reported significantly more alcohol consumption and drinking-related problems. In addition, findings indicated significant indirect effect paths from both attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety to maladaptive deactivating coping, to greater alcohol consumption, and to drinking-related problems. On the other hand, high attachment anxiety was associated with more alcohol consumption which in turn, led to more alcohol-associated problems, but maladaptive hyperactivating coping was not associated with either alcohol consumption or drinking-related problems. Implications of findings, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
