abstract="OBJECTIVES: To examine emotion dysregulation as a predictor of coping drinking motives, alcohol consumption, and alcohol-related problems among college women. <br><br>METHODS: In the cross-sectional study, 424 college women completed confidential surveys assessing the variables of interest. <br><br>RESULTS: Structural equation models suggest an indirect relationship between emotion dysregulation and alcohol variables. Emotion dysregulation predicted drinking coping motives, and drinking motives predicted both alcohol-related problems and heavy drinking. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: In college women, interventions which target emotion dysregulation may indirectly reduce alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems via a decrease in coping drinking motives. Implications for future research will be discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
