Notes: Standardized regression coefficients (βs) are reported in plain text. R2 values are presented in italicized text. CONV = convenience; CONT = control; AC = avoiding consequences; FREQ = frequency; QUANT = quantity; UPPS = UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale; PEDD-Y = Positive Expectancies for Drinking and Driving in Youth.
