000043571 520__ $$aStudies examining the association between laboratory-based assessments of risk-taking propensity and alcohol use have produced mixed results. Heterogeneity in the existing literature may be attributable to variable definitions of risk (e.g., conflating risk taking with learning) and lack of nuanced assessments of patterns of responding (e.g., variability in risk taking). Nineteen participants (mean age: 26.7, 12 female) completed the Automatic Balloon Analogue Risk Task to assess risk taking behavior, where they inflated a balloon to earn money, but lost their earnings if the balloon exploded.  Our findings are consistent with prior studies, showing a positive association between risk taking and alcohol use, and provide new information about how variability in risk taking is linked to heavy alcohol with negative consequences. Longitudinal and mechanistic studies are needed to determine if risk taking is associated with escalating patterns of alcohol use overtime and to identify the biopsychosocial risk factors linked to individual differences in risk-taking behavior.
