Abstract:
This Bachelor's Thesis analyzed the relationship between risky alcohol consumption and impulsivity dimensions in 89 young adults aged 18 to 35. The AUDIT and BIS-15S scales were used for this purpose. The results showed that motor impulsivity is significantly associated with risky drinking, symptoms of dependence, and harmful alcohol consumption. Unplanned impulsivity showed partial relationships with some consumption domains, while attentional impulsivity showed no significant associations. These findings highlight the relevance of impulsivity, especially motor impulsivity, in the prevention of alcohol consumption.
