Real-Time Assessment of Alcohol Reward, Stimulation, and Negative Affect in Individuals With and Without Alcohol Use Disorder and Depressive Disorders
Contrary to the allostasis model of addiction's emphasis on negative reinforcement drinking, findings demonstrated that people with AUD prone to negative affect displayed positive alcohol reinforcement with pronounced and prolonged sensitivity to alcohol's pleasurable effects, akin to their noncomorbid counterparts. The findings provided critical testing of addiction theories in the natural environment to enhance external validity.
