目前的研究旨在调查大学生危险饮酒与人生目标之间的关系。入门心理学的学生完成了一份问卷，包括典型的生活目标和酒精使用行为的测量。学生们列出了他们最典型的5个生活目标，并在一系列维度上对每个目标进行评分，从这些维度中得出两个因素（即目标意义，目标效能）。层次回归分析显示，较低水平的目标意义与更严重的间歇性饮酒和酒精相关的负面后果有关。结果与饮酒动机模型一致，该模型将酒精使用描述为满足其他生活目标的函数。研究结果支持在更广泛的生活目标评估背景下理解大学生饮酒的重要性。
The current study was designed to examine the association between risky alcohol use and life goals among college students. Introductory psychology students completed a questionnaire that included measures of typical life goals and alcohol use behavior. Students listed their 5 most typical life goals and rated them each on a series of dimensions from which 2 factors were derived (i.e., Goal Meaning, Goal Efficacy). Hierarchical regression analyses showed that the lower levels of goal meaning were associated with more heavy episodic use of alcohol and alcohol-related negative consequences. Results are consistent with motivational models of drinking that depict alcohol use as a function of satisfaction from other life goals. Findings support the importance of understanding college student drinking within the broader context of life goal appraisal.
