Note: bolded coefficients were significant at 𝑃<.05, and Δ𝑅² refers to change in 𝑅² in the third step of the analyses (when the interaction term was entered). HAU: hazardous alcohol use, ARP: alcohol-related problems, SS: sensation seeking, NUR: negative urgency, ADL: anxiety-depression lability, DEL: depression-elation lability, and AL: anger lability.
