Sample characteristics. This table shows the results for the analyses of the sample characteristics. Values are denoted as mean (standard deviation). Total number of participants per comparison may vary due to a small number of missing values. SD, standard deviation; AUDIT, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; TAS, Toronto Alexithymia Scale; DIDF, difficulties identifying and describing feelings; EOT, externally oriented thinking; ERQ, emotion regulation questionnaire. ERQ Reappraisal and Suppression are subscales of the ERQ.
