与大学女性相比，大学男性面临着更高的饮酒问题风险和与酒精相关的负面后果。这些风险突出表明，迫切需要调查性别问题和导致男性醉酒及相关问题的风险因素。理论模型表明，符合男性标准或对男性意味着什么的信念和期望，可能有助于解释男性中存在问题的饮酒模式。目前的研究通过调查776名本科生男性中男性规范、饮酒至醉酒与酒精相关后果之间的关联，在考虑到兄弟会地位和感知的同伴规范的重要性后，推动了文献的发展。结果表明，兄弟会的地位和对饮酒的较高同伴规范会增加醉酒和经历酒精相关后果的风险。具体地说，“花花公子”、冒险和获胜的男性标准是饮酒至醉酒的风险因素；而作为“花花公子”、冒险和自力更生则增加了与酒精有关的问题的风险。工作至上和异性表现是保护饮酒至醉酒的两个男性规范。我们的发现有助于对大学环境中的预防、临床干预和公共卫生影响的未来重要考虑。2011爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Compared to college women, college men face elevated risks for problematic drinking and negative alcohol-related consequences. These risks highlight the critical need to investigate gender issues and risk factors contributing to intoxication and related problems among men. Theoretical models suggest that conforming to masculine norms or the beliefs and expectations of what it means to be a man, may help explain patterns of problematic drinking among men. The current study advances the literature by investigating the association between masculine norms, drinking to intoxication, and alcohol-related consequences among 776 undergraduate males after taking into account the importance of fraternity status and perceived peer norms. Results indicate that fraternity status and higher perceived peer norms regarding drinking increased the risks of getting drunk and experiencing alcohol-related consequences. Specifically, the masculine norms of being a "playboy", risk-taking, and winning were risk factors of drinking to intoxication; while, being a "playboy", risk-taking, and self-reliance increased the risks of alcohol-related problems. Primacy of work and heterosexual presentation were two masculine norms that were protective of drinking to intoxication. Our findings contribute to important future considerations for prevention, clinical interventions, and public-health implications in college settings. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
