目前的工作试图检查个人内部和情境特征，可以预测性取向自我概念模糊（SSA）的个人之间的高度酒精滥用。据推测，唤起个人的性行为的显着性的情况下，将有助于酒精滥用的个人谁报告提高SSA。在第一个实验中，59名学生从两所大型州立大学的心理学学科库中招募。在书写操作之后，用于唤起对个人性行为的高度自我关注的状态，参与者完成了酒精接近回避任务，该任务作为对酒精相关线索的内隐偏见的标记。在第二个实验中，94名年龄在21岁到35岁之间的女性被招募到一个实验室研究中。利用类似于第一个实验的程序，我们试图在一个随意饮酒的研究中测试我们的研究问题。在SSA较高的年轻人中，诱导高度自我关注的情况预示着对酒精相关线索的接近偏差增加，以及表面上酒精饮料的消费增加。证据支持的因果关系之间的关系的情境性的显着性和急性风险的酒精接近偏见和消费行为与高度SSA。预防性干预措施可能会突出基于身份相关风险因素的酒精滥用风险的变化，如性自我概念模糊和饮酒动机。
The current work sought to examine both intra-individual and situational features that can predict heightened alcohol misuse among individuals who report sexual-orientation self-concept ambiguity (SSA). It was hypothesized that situations that evoke the salience of individuals' sexuality will contribute to alcohol misuse among individuals who report heightened SSA. In the first experiment, fifty-nine students were recruited from psychology subject pools at two large state universities. Following a writing manipulation, used to evoke a state of heightened self-focus on an individual's sexuality, participants completed the Alcohol Approach-Avoidance Task, which served as a marker of implicit bias toward alcohol-related cues. In the second experiment, ninety-four women between the ages of 21 and 35 were recruited into a lab-based study. Utilizing procedures similar to the first experiment, we attempted to test our research questions in an ad lib drinking study. Among young adults with greater SSA, situations that induced heightened self-focus were predictive of increased approach bias toward alcohol-related cues and increased consumption of an ostensibly alcoholic beverage. Evidence supported a causal link between the situational salience of sexuality and acute risk of alcohol-approach bias and consumption behavior among those with heightened SSA. Preventive interventions may highlight variation in risk of alcohol misuse based on identity-related risk factors, such as sexual self-concept ambiguity, and drinking motivations.
