目的：大多数大学对接受酒精违规或醉酒医学评估的学生进行制裁或必要的干预。本研究的目的是建立配置文件的授权学生从一个组合的数据集，使用探索性和复制聚类分析。方法：从三个样本的强制学生（总参与者n = 393）的数据集进行了合并的探索性分析，和第四个样本（n = 289）进行了复制分析。聚集变量是过去一个月的大量饮酒，过去一年的酒精问题，事件酒精使用，事件的责任，和厌恶的事件。结果：在探索性分析中产生了三簇解决方案，并在重复和交叉重复分析中得到证实。形成的集群包括一个"为什么是我？"集群的特点是相对较低的大量饮酒和酒精相关问题，很少发生饮酒事件，低责任心和厌恶。“那又怎么样？"集群的特点是大量饮酒和酒精相关的问题，中度事件饮酒和责任，以及低厌恶。一个"坏事件"集群的特点是低分数的酗酒和问题和高水平的事件饮酒，责任，和厌恶。外部变量支持集群解决方案的有效性。结论：强制学生形成临床有意义的配置文件上容易测量的结构。
Objective: Most colleges have sanctions or required interventions for students who receive alcohol violations or medical evaluation for intoxication. The aim of this study was to establish profiles of mandated students from a combined data set using exploratory and replication cluster analysis. Method: Data sets from three samples of mandated students (total participant n = 393) were combined for exploratory analyses, and a fourth sample (n = 289) was analyzed for replication. Clustering variables were past-month heavy drinking, past-year alcohol problems, incident alcohol use, responsibility for the incident, and aversiveness of the incident. Results: A three-cluster solution was produced in the exploratory analysis and confirmed in replication and cross-replication analyses. Clusters formed included a "Why Me?" cluster characterized by a pattern of relatively low heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems, very little incident drinking, and low responsibility and aversiveness. A "So What?" cluster was characterized by high heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems, moderate incident drinking and responsibility, and low aversiveness. A "Bad Incident" cluster was characterized by low scores for heavy drinking and problems and high levels of incident drinking, responsibility, and aversiveness. External variables supported the validity of the cluster solution. Conclusions: Mandated students form clinically meaningful profiles on easily measured constructs.
