Predicting the time trend of first episodes of aggressive behaviors in pediatric psychiatric inpatient units
2021, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchThe relationship between alcohol consumption and the desire to own a firearm: an empirical study on citizens of São Paulo city, Brazil
2020, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :For public health and public safety reasons, binge drinking in particular has raised concerns in the US because it is associated with firearm ownership and with aggressive behaviour. For example, studies of high-school and college students, and of adult gun carriers, suggest that people who carry guns are more prone to binge drinking and to act aggressively and inappropriately.6–10 Given the well-established link between firearm availability and homicide, suicide and firearm accidents,11–35,36–41 the heightened risk of aggressive and inappropriate behaviour that often accompanies binge drinking42–45 and the very real possibility that the Disarmament Statute will be revoked (The Bill 3722/12), several important questions emerge: What is the potential demand for firearms in Brazil?
Effects of parental monitoring on aggressive behavior among youth in the United States and South Korea: A cross-national study
2015, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Risk factors such as substance use and low self-esteem increase the likelihood of engaging in aggressive behavior among youth in the US (Hawkins, Laub, & Lauritsen, 1998; Paternoster & Brame, 1998; Valois, McKeown, Garrison, & Vincent, 1995). For instance, use of cigarettes (e.g., Ellickson & McGuigan, 2000) and alcohol, including binge drinking (e.g., Carpenter, 2005; Dawkins, 1997; Valois et al., 1995) are positively related to engaging in aggressive behavior. In fact, even when controlling for other critical factors related to offending (e.g., criminal history), substance use remains a powerful predictor of aggressive behavior (Valois et al., 1995).

2013, Drug and Alcohol DependenceCitation Excerpt :However, this study has highlighted how alcohol misuse may also pose a health risk for adolescent boys and girls across a number of different behavioural domains. The relation we observed between binge drinking and violent behaviour mirrors that seen amongst adolescents in other settings (Isralowitz and Reznik, 2006; Noffsinger et al., 2012; Valois et al., 1995). The consumption of alcohol has been (indirectly) linked to aggressive behaviour through the changes it produces in the individual (e.g., reduced intellectual functioning) that heighten the risk of aggression (Bushman, 1997).
