Research has shown trait self-control, neuroticism, and coping and enhancement drinking motives to be predictors of alcohol consumption among college students. Recent research also provides evidence for the effects of role investment and role-based alcohol consumption-decision making (i.e., partying decisions). The goal of the present study was to clarify the organization and contributions of these multifarious influences on college student drinking.
College students (N = 355; 51.8% female) with a heterogeneous prevalence of alcohol dependence completed measures of trait self-control; neuroticism; coping and enhancement drinking motives; subjective college student role investment, satisfaction, and stress; role-based partying scenarios; and a typical weekly alcohol consumption interview. Internal and comparative fit indices for alternative path models were evaluated and bootstrapping procedures were used to examine indirect effects.
Modeling results favored a more stratified organization, where (a) the association between trait self-control and consumption was mediated by drinking motives and partying decisions, (b) the association between neuroticism and consumption was mediated by coping motives, and (c) the association between role investment and consumption was mediated by partying decisions. The associations between motives and consumption were not mediated by partying decisions.
The results provide support for disinhibitory and distress pathways to college student drinking, where impulsive and anxious students are more likely to drink excessively because of more frequent mood-affecting drinking goals, less academic involvement, and/or more frequent decisions to attend parties where negative academic consequences are likely but where perceived rewarding alcohol-related and social features are present.
研究表明,特质自控力、神经质以及应对和强化饮酒动机是大学生酒精消费的预测因素。近期研究还为角色投入和基于角色的酒精消费决策(即聚会决策)的影响提供了证据。本研究的目的是阐明这些多种影响因素对大学生饮酒行为的组织方式及其作用。
酒精依赖患病率各异的大学生(N = 355;51.8%为女性)完成了特质自控力、神经质、应对和强化饮酒动机、主观大学生角色投入、满意度和压力、基于角色的聚会情景以及典型每周酒精消费访谈等测量。评估了替代路径模型的内部和比较拟合指数,并使用自抽样程序检验间接效应。
建模结果支持一种更分层的组织方式,即(a)特质自控力与饮酒行为之间的关联由饮酒动机和聚会决策介导,(b)神经质与饮酒行为之间的关联由应对动机介导,(c)角色投入与饮酒行为之间的关联由聚会决策介导。动机与饮酒行为之间的关联不由聚会决策介导。
研究结果为大学生饮酒的去抑制和痛苦途径提供了支持,即冲动和焦虑的学生更有可能过度饮酒,因为他们有更频繁的影响情绪的饮酒目标、更少的学业参与度,和/或更频繁地决定参加可能产生负面学业后果但存在与酒精相关且被认为有回报的社交特征的聚会。
