N2  - Young adults who experienced child abuse and neglect (CAN) are at significant risk  for callous-unemotional traits and substance use problems. Research shows that  compromised self-regulation may increase risk for these maladaptive outcomes. In the  present cross-sectional study, we examined the moderating role of self-regulation,  indexed by heart rate variability reactivity, in the indirect link between CAN and  alcohol and other drug use problems via callous-unemotional traits. We utilized a  sample of mostly female undergraduate students (N = 130, 81% Female; M (age)  = 20.72). We hypothesized that (a) CAN and alcohol or other drug use problems would  be associated indirectly via elevations in callous-unemotional traits, and (b) that  this indirect association would be exacerbated by elevated heart rate variability  reactivity. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that increased callous-unemotional traits underlain in  the link between CAN and alcohol or other drug use problems. Further, this indirect  link was exacerbated among youth with elevated heart rate variability reactivity. These findings have significant implications for prevention by demonstrating that  physiological self-regulation is important to target in substance use prevention  among collegiate samples.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
