The relationship between depressed mood, self-efficacy and affective states during the drinking driving sequence.
Relationships between depressed mood, abstinence confidence and temptation, and experienced emotions just before and during recent drinking driving sequences (drinking driving emotional states: DDES) were examined in a sample of DUI (Driving Under the Influence) offenders. Depressed mood offenders (41% of sample) reported lower abstinence confidence, higher temptation, and higher DDES, especially in association with negative affective states. Implications for interventions with depressed mood DUI offenders are discussed.
