-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Peer behavior and drinking habits intersect differently for young and older adults
An online study involving an international sample of adolescent and adult alcohol users found that in social non-alcohol drinking settings, younger participants experiencing greater social attunement reported more overall alcohol use. It was the opposite in older individuals, in whom greater social attunement was associated with less alcohol consumption. In a social non-drinking setting, social attunement was associated with more alcohol use among older participants, but with less use among younger ones. The paper was published in Addictive Behaviors.
Social attunement is the extent to which an individual aligns their behavior to harmonize with a social environment without explicit social pressure. It is the tendency to notice, interpret, and adjust one’s behavior to other people’s reactions, expectations, and social norms. Social attunement helps people coordinate with others and gain acceptance within a group. It can be explicit, when a person consciously changes behavior in response to peers, or implicit, when the adjustment occurs automatically.
Some studies have linked social attunement to alcohol use and related problems. In drinking situations, people may adapt how much they drink according to how much their friends drink or appear to approve of drinking. Someone who is highly socially attuned may drink more when peers encourage alcohol use or treat heavy drinking as normal. The same tendency may reduce alcohol consumption when friends disapprove of drinking or support moderation.
Adolescents and young adults may be especially sensitive to such influence because social acceptance and peer belonging are particularly important during these developmental periods. Perceived drinking norms also matter, because people may increase their consumption when they mistakenly believe that most of their peers drink heavily.
Christophe Romein, a researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and colleagues assessed whether high social attunement to peer alcohol use during late adolescence and early adulthood is linked with increased alcohol consumption and related problems. They also explored the role of gender in relation to age and social attunement. In this particular study, social attunement was measured as a change in willingness to drink alcohol in different social settings after being presented with information about the willingness of fictitious peers to drink alcohol in those same scenarios.
Study participants were 811 individuals recruited in two study waves. The first wave was conducted in 2022 and involved 534 participants, while wave two involved 277 participants recruited in 2023 and 2024. Because the authors focused on alcohol drinkers, they excluded candidates who did not drink alcohol, those who failed to complete the main task, and non-binary participants, since the small number of non-binary individuals prevented accurate statistical estimates for that group.
After these exclusions, the final sample consisted of 683 individuals. Participants were recruited via social media, from a university participant pool in the Netherlands, and through in-person flyer distribution. Participants for the second wave were also recruited through an online research platform. The recruitment ads targeted cannabis and alcohol users over 15 years of age.
Study participants completed an implicit social attunement task. In this task, they viewed 45 images showing an equal number of social alcohol drinking situations, social non-alcohol drinking situations where people drink beverages like soda, and social non-drinking settings where no drinks are present. After each image, participants were asked to rate their willingness to consume alcohol in the situation depicted.
Immediately after responding, participants were shown fictitious peer feedback about how willing a peer group was to drink in that situation. There were six situations where the feedback matched participants’ willingness to drink, and 39 situations where peer feedback indicated either higher or lower willingness. After completing a short memory task, participants viewed the same images and indicated their willingness to drink alcohol again.
Based on how much their willingness to drink alcohol changed after viewing peer feedback, the authors derived two social attunement scores. One score showed how much participants’ willingness to drink alcohol changed in situations where peer feedback indicated higher willingness to drink. The other score showed how much it changed in situations where peer feedback indicated lower willingness to drink.
The scientists calculated both scores for each of the three types of situations. Participants also completed an assessment of alcohol use disorder symptoms, an assessment of the number of standard units of alcohol, cannabis, and cigarettes they consumed in the past two weeks, and one question about binge drinking.
Results indicated no interactions between social attunement and age in predicting alcohol use overall when looking at specific positive or negative peer feedback. However, there were some interactions between age and social attunement when combining the overall responses for each social setting. In social non-alcohol drinking situations, younger participants experiencing greater overall social attunement reported more alcohol use. In those same situations, older adults experiencing greater social attunement reported less alcohol use.
In contrast, in social non-drinking situations, younger participants showing greater social attunement reported less alcohol use. Older participants with greater social attunement in these settings tended to report more alcohol use. The researchers noted that they did not find the results for gender to be statistically significant, suggesting social attunement operates similarly across genders in these contexts.
“Depending on age and social setting, SA [social attunement] can both be a risk- or protective factor for alcohol use,” the authors concluded.
The study contributes to the scientific understanding of the factors associated with alcohol use. It should be noted that the study involved participants’ self-reports and did not measure actual observations of real-world drinking behaviors. The cross-sectional design also prevents scientists from determining whether these behaviors actually shift within individuals as they age over time.
The paper “Social attunement and alcohol use: The role of age and gender” was authored by Christophe Romein, Karis Colyer-Patel, Emese Kroon, Helle Larsen, Hanan El Marroun, and Janna Cousijn.

Beyond Willpower in Addiction: 4 Powerful Lessons
Originally Published on November 11th, 2025 at 08:00 amWe often think of addiction as a private, grueling battle of willpower.
Whether it’s a dependency on a substance, a behavior like gambling, or even an unhealthy pattern in a relationship, the prevailing narrative suggests that breaking free is a matter of pure, individual strength.
If you just try hard enough, you can overcome it. If you fail, it’s a personal failing.
But what if this framework is fundamentally flawed? A recent, year-long study offers a more structured, hopeful, and evidence-based path to recovery.
Researchers applied a specific form of therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to individuals struggling with a range of addictions and discovered that the right tools can do more than just help people cope; they can fundamentally transform their lives.
It’s about building a life so full and satisfying that the addiction no longer has room to thrive.
This year-long study is particularly significant because it was conducted in Kazakhstan, a region where evidence-based psychotherapy is still emerging and social stigma can be a major barrier to recovery.
This article distills the four most impactful takeaways from this groundbreaking research. It reveals how a systematic therapeutic approach can lead to profound, measurable life changes, challenging the myth that recovery is simply a matter of gritting your teeth and pushing through.
Lesson 1: The Change to Isn’t Small, It’s Transformative
While we might expect therapy to offer some benefit, the sheer magnitude of improvement seen in this study was extraordinary.
Participants who received Cognitive Behavioral Therapy didn’t just get slightly better; they experienced a dramatic and measurable enhancement in their overall well-being.
The study used the World Health Organization’s Quality of Life scale (WHOQOL-BREF), which measures well-being across four key areas. The results were staggering.
On average, the experimental groups saw their quality of life scores jump from the low 40s to the mid-70s on a 100-point scale. To put that in concrete terms, participants with alcohol use disorder went from an average score of 42.31 before therapy to 74.47 after one year.
This isn’t just a number on a chart; it represents a profound shift from a life constrained by addiction to one filled with new possibilities and well-being.
Meanwhile, the control groups, those who did not receive CBT, saw no meaningful improvement in their quality of life, with their average scores remaining essentially unchanged.
This powerful contrast repositions recovery as a genuine opportunity to build a measurably better and more satisfying life.
It’s about building a life so full and satisfying that the addiction no longer has room to thrive.

Beyond Willpower Lesson 2: The Same Tools Can Fix Different Problems
One of the most compelling aspects of the study was its breadth.
Researchers applied the same core therapeutic model, CBT, to four very different challenges:
- Alcohol use disorder
- Drug addiction
- Gambling disorder
- Codependency
The key finding was that CBT was highly effective across the board.
For every single group that received therapy, there was a statistically significant reduction in the severity of their addiction. The data paints a clear picture of this versatility:
- For drug addiction, the experimental group’s average severity score dropped from 7.96 (signifying harmful use) down to 3.14 (representing low-risk or minimal use).
- For gambling disorder, the average severity score plummeted from a “severe” 39.55 to a “mild or moderate” 14.36.
This suggests that no matter the substance or behavior, the underlying challenge is often the same: learning to recognize triggers, challenge automatic negative thoughts, and develop new, healthier coping strategies.
CBT provides a toolkit for rewiring these exact processes, effectively helping people move from a place of denial or ambivalence into decisive action and long-term maintenance.
Do you have enough hours for your LPC renewal? Are you in need of continuing education, but bored with the current offerings? Check out Dr. Weeks’ course on Cannabis Use Disorder, and other unique courses on her practice website.
Sexual Addiction Treatment Services has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7250. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. Sexual Addiction Treatment Services is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.
Lesson 3: Codependency Isn’t Just a “Relationship Problem.” It’s Treatable.
The study took the significant step of including codependency, an excessive emotional or psychological dependence on a partner, often linked to that partner’s addiction, alongside clinical addictions. While codependency is not formally classified as a standalone diagnosis in major manuals like the DSM-5-TR, the researchers recognized it as a clinically significant phenomenon that is actively addressed in rehabilitation.
The results were a powerful validation of this approach.
The experimental group for codependency saw their average severity scores drop from a “high level” of 69.12 to a “moderate or low level” of 31.44. The control group, in stark contrast, showed no significant change.
For anyone who has felt trapped in a dynamic of supporting someone else’s addiction at the expense of their own well-being, this finding is a beacon of hope.
This is a crucial takeaway.
It frames the struggle of codependency not as a character flaw or an intractable relationship dynamic, but as a treatable condition. It offers empowerment and a clear path toward building greater independence, self-esteem, and healthier relationship dynamics.
Beyond Willpower Lesson 4: Recovery Isn’t Just Stopping, It’s a Total Life Upgrade
The study’s design was brilliant in its simplicity: it measured success in two ways. It tracked the reduction of the negative (addiction severity) and the increase of the positive (overall quality of life). The results showed that these two things are deeply intertwined.
The “quality of life” assessment wasn’t a vague feeling of happiness; it was a concrete evaluation of four essential domains of life:
- Physical Health: Including energy and fatigue, quality of sleep, and even physical mobility.
- Psychological Health: Covering everything from positive feelings and self-esteem to the ability to concentrate and learn new things.
- Social Relationships: Examining the quality of personal relationships, the strength of social support networks, and even sexual activity.
- Environment: Looking at practical, real-world factors like financial security, physical safety, the comfort of one’s home, and access to healthcare.
The participants who underwent CBT saw significant improvements across all of these areas. This demonstrates that effective treatment doesn’t just happen in a therapist’s office. It radiates outward, improving every facet of a person’s existence.
True recovery, as this study shows, is about building a life that is so robust and fulfilling that the old addictive behaviors no longer hold the same power or appeal.
Conclusion: A New Framework for Change
The findings from this study in Kazakhstan provide a powerful, evidence-based roadmap for recovery that moves far beyond the limited concept of willpower.
It shows that addiction, in its many forms, is not a moral failing but a condition that responds remarkably well to structured, compassionate, and science-backed intervention.
By focusing on cognitive and behavioral strategies, individuals can achieve not just abstinence, but a transformative and holistic improvement in their lives. The tools exist, the evidence is clear, and the potential for change is immense.
This research leaves us with a vital question to consider:
If we can treat these complex issues so effectively, what does that change about how we should approach mental health and personal growth in our own lives?
Are you a professional looking to stay up-to-date with the latest information on, sex addiction, trauma, and mental health news and research? Or maybe you’re looking for continuing education courses? Then you should stay up-to-date with all of Dr. Jen’s work through her practice’s newsletter!
Do you feel your sexual behavior, or that of someone you love, is out of control? Then you should consult with a professional.
