目的：本研究测试了酒后驾驶行为和认知之间的相互关联，因为年轻人过渡到独立驾驶。我们假设驾驶经验和酒后驾驶经验会随着时间的推移影响对酒后驾驶的认知变化。我们还测试了认知作为酒后驾驶行为的预测因子。方法：202名高中生在两个时间点完成邮寄问卷调查，间隔约8个月。问卷调查评估了青少年的酒后驾车行为，与酒后驾车的司机一起乘车，酒后驾车的态度，规范性信念，以及在两个时间点感知的负面后果。结果：与假设一致，先前的酒后驾驶经验影响酒后驾驶认知的变化。在时间1有酒后驾车经历的年轻人认为酒后驾车随着时间的推移变得更加危险;然而，他们认为他们的同龄人更能接受这种行为。时间1的态度预测增加饮酒和驾驶的频率在时间2，和规范的信念预测增加的频率与饮酒驾驶员。结论：这些结果支持酒后驾车的认知和行为之间的相互关联。这项研究的结果可能会对饮酒和驾驶干预措施的时间和内容产生影响，以减少饮酒和驾驶以及与饮酒驾驶员一起乘车。(J.酒精药物70：536-542，2009）
Objective: The present study tested reciprocal associations between drinking-and-driving behavior and cognitions as youths transition to driving independently. We hypothesized that experience with driving and experience with drinking and driving would effect changes in cognitions about drinking and driving over time. We also tested cognitions as predictors of later drinking-and-driving behavior. Method: Two hundred and two high school youths completed mailed questionnaire measures at two time points, approximately 8 months apart. Questionnaire measures assessed youths' drinking-and-driving behavior, riding with a drinking driver, drinking-and-driving attitudes, normative beliefs, and perceived negative consequences at both time points. Results: Consistent with hypotheses, prior drinking-and-driving experience influenced changes in drinking-and-driving cognitions. Youths with drinking-and-driving experience at Time 1 saw drinking and driving as more dangerous over time; however, they perceived their peers as more accepting of this behavior. Time 1 attitudes predicted increased drinking-and-driving frequency at Time 2, and normative beliefs predicted increased frequency of riding with a drinking driver. Conclusions: These results support reciprocal associations between drinking-and-driving cognitions and behavior. Results of this study may have implications for the timing and content of drinking-and-driving interventions to reduce drinking and driving as well as riding with a drinking driver. (J. Stud.
