本研究调查了亚洲人和白种人在饮酒方面的差异，以及自我报告的社会文化和生理相关因素。研究对象为83名亚洲学生（男38名，女45名）和96名高加索学生（男48名，女48名），他们被要求完成以下问卷：(1)人口统计信息；(2)一般态度和价值观；(3)饮酒水平；(4)饮酒态度；(5)生理反应。结果表明：(1)亚洲人自我报告的饮酒量低于白种人；(2)生理反应和对饮酒的态度，而不是一般的文化价值观，是饮酒种族差异的重要预测因素。结果表明，同时评估生理反应性和社会文化因素在酒精消费中的重要性。
The present study examined Asian and Caucasian differences in alcohol consumption and the self-reported socio-cultural and physiological correlates of consumption. The subjects were 83 Asian (38 male, 45 female) and 96 Caucasian (48 male, 48 female) students who were asked to complete questionnaires on: (1) demographic information, (2) general attitudes and values, (3) level of alcohol consumption, (4) attitudes toward drinking and (5) physiological reactivity. The results indicated that: (1) Asians self-reported lower levels of alcohol consumption than did Caucasians, and (2) physiological reactivity and attitudes toward drinking rather than general cultural values were significant predictors of ethnic differences in drinking. The results suggest the importance of simultaneously evaluating physiological reactivity and sociocultural factors in alcohol consumption.
