Abstract

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.
