导言：积极的(增强和社交的)和消极的(应对)强化饮酒动机已被证明与大学生的饮酒、与酒精相关的问题和抑郁有关。尽管以前对饮酒动机的研究大多是以变量为中心的分析，但目前的研究使用了以人为中心的方法，即使用潜在特征分析(LPA)根据共同特征将个人分组。我们调查了饮酒动机档案的效用，以确定不同的档案与酒精结果和抑郁症状之间的关系。方法：参与者是648名在过去一个月里违反大学酒精政策并支持饮酒的本科生。结果：在考察了1到8类LPA解决方案后，6类解决方案提供了最好的经验和临床意义的数据拟合。高应对、高积极强化饮酒动机的班级饮酒量高于高应对、低积极强化动机的班级。在应对和积极强化动机上都很高的班级报告了最多的与酒精有关的问题。应对动机水平较高、积极强化动机较高或较低的班级抑郁症状最高。结论：饮酒动机特征在饮酒结果和抑郁症状方面存在差异。我们鼓励研究人员探索与个人一起喝酒的动机，特别是在存在或不存在积极强化动机的情况下，评估应对动机与抑郁之间的关系。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Introduction: Positively (Enhancement and Social) and negatively (Coping) reinforcing drinking motives have been shown to be associated with alcohol use, alcohol-related problems, and depression among college students. Although prior studies of drinking motives have mostly consisted of variable-centered analyses, the current study used a person-centered approach where individuals were grouped into categories based on shared characteristics using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA). We investigated the utility of drinking motive profiles to determine how different profiles were associated with alcohol outcomes and depressive symptoms.Method: Participants were 648 undergraduate students who had violated a university alcohol policy and who endorsed consuming alcohol in the past month. Social, Coping, and Enhancement subscales from the Drinking Motives Questionnaire were used as indicators.Results: After examining one-through-eight class LPA solutions, the six-class solution provided the best empirical and clinically meaningful fit to the data. Classes with high coping and high positive reinforcing drinking motives consumed more alcohol than profiles of students with high coping and low positive reinforcing motives. Classes high on both coping and positively reinforcing motives reported the most alcohol related problems. Classes with higher levels of coping motives and either high or low positive reinforcing motives reported the highest depression symptoms.Conclusions: Drinking motive profiles differ in terms of alcohol outcomes and depressive symptoms. We encourage researchers to explore motives for drinking with individuals, especially assessing the relationship between coping motives and depression in the presence or absence of positively reinforcing motives.
