A great deal of time and money has been spent to understand why adolescents abuse alcohol. Some of the most fruitful work considers the social context navigated by adolescents, including family, school and peer contexts. However, most of this work focuses on differences between adolescents in these contexts. The present study adds to the literature by considering within-person changes in these contexts and examines the extent to which these changes are related to alcohol use. Significant changes in all three contexts were observed, and these changes were significantly related to alcohol use. The significant influence of intrapersonal variability highlights the importance of attending not only to chronic, between-individual issues facing at-risk youth, but emergent and transient issues that may temporarily heighten alcohol use risk.
为了弄清楚青少年酗酒的原因,人们花费了大量的时间和金钱。一些最有成效的研究关注青少年所处的社会环境,包括家庭、学校和同龄人环境。然而,这些研究大多关注的是青少年在这些环境中的差异。本研究通过考虑这些环境中的个体内部变化,为相关文献增添了内容,并考察了这些变化与酒精使用之间的关联程度。研究发现,所有这三种环境都有显著变化,并且这些变化与酒精使用显著相关。个体内部变异性的显著影响凸显了不仅要关注高危青少年面临的长期个体间问题,还要关注那些可能暂时增加酒精使用风险的突发和短暂问题的重要性。
