Introduction. Evidence suggests higher levels of impulsivity are related to drinking onset and to increment in alcohol drinking. Also, alcohol consumption is related to higher levels of impulsivity and risk taking behaviors. Aims. To examine, by means of a longitudinal design, the influence of impulsivity (trait and behavioral) and risk taking on alcohol consumption and, vice versa, the effect of alcohol drinking on posteriors levels of impulsivity and risk taking. Sample. 161 adolescents (Mean age=15.83±.85) enrolled in four high-schools of Cordoba city (Argentina) participated in the study. Procedure. At each assessment, participants reported their alcohol involvement and completed the UPPS-P (a measure to assess trait impulsivity). They also completed computerized tasks of impulsivity (Go-Stop and SKIP) and risk-taking. Cross-sectional and prospective relationships between the variables of interest were investigated using correlation analysis. Results. Half of the adolescents engaged in heavy episodic drinking. Overall, results supported the reciprocal association between impulsivity and risk taking and alcohol drinking, especially the frequency of heavy episodic drinking. Discussion. The main finding of this study is the finding, with only a 3-month interval, a positive prospective and bidirectional effect between alcohol consumption, impulsivity and risk takingDownloads
