Prediction of changes in drinking quantity and frequency (QF) by the interaction of negative urgency and freshman year sexual assault experience. Negative urgency scores are plotted 1 SD above and below the mean, and sexual assault experience is coded dichotomously. For women who were sexually assaulted, the mean drinking QF increase from low to high levels of negative urgency was 1 point on the 9-point scale. Examples of a 1-point increase would be increasing drinking frequency from monthly to once or twice a week, or increasing drinking quantity from 1 beer or 1 drink or less to between 2 and 3 beers or drinks. For women who were not sexually assaulted, the change was very small. Participant frequency by quadrant is as follows: above the mean on negative urgency/positive for sexual assault n = 179; above the mean on negative urgency/negative for sexual assault n = 599; below the mean on negative urgency/positive for sexual assault n = 190; below the mean on negative urgency/negative for sexual assault n = 961.
