Emotional functioning and transgressive motive use of alcohol among students

Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the functioning of emotional people who use alcohol as transgressive way. 138 patients, 49% women (study group N = 69, control group N = 69) were examined. The following tests were used in the study: emotional intelligence - by Jaworowska et al (2005), anxiety as a traits and state - Wrześniewski et al. (2011), the motive transgressive use of alcohol - Graziano et al. (2012). The results largely confirm the hypotheses that low levels of emotional intelligence and high level anxiety coexists with motive transgressive use of alcohol.
