To examine our hypothesis that negative urgency would be related to self-reported craving, we conducted a Mood Condition (3 levels; positive, negative, and neutral) × Craving type (2 levels; Alcohol drink craving vs. Grape juice drink craving) linear mixed-effects model analyses, with negative urgency as a covariate. There was no main effect of mood (p = 0.79), odor (p = 0.08), or negative urgency (p = 0.35). However, there was a significant negative urgency × craving type interaction (p = 0.01): as negative urgency increases, alcohol cravings became stronger (β = 0.35, p = 0.04), but grape juice cravings became weaker (β = −0.20, p = 0.16) (See Figure 6). This pattern did not differ across the mood conditions.
