Consistent with the motivational model of alcohol use, women with SA histories may consume alcohol to both downregulate negative emotions and upregulate positive ones. The present event-level study used a Bayesian multilevel moderated mediation approach to examine t...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with psychosocial impairments, which represent a relevant focus for therapy.

Discrepancies may be a function of power, sample size, analytic method, or m...
