目的：虽然性骚扰和普遍的工作场所虐待（GWA）与酒精使用和滥用有关，但积极的以问题为重点的应对已被证明可以减少易受各种社会压力源的有害心理健康后果的影响。同时，积极应对在应对压力源时相对更有效，压力源是可以通过个人行为改变的。然而，应对对骚扰和饮酒的调节作用尚不清楚。方法：利用对大学员工（N = 2038）的两波调查数据，我们研究了(1)受到骚扰和虐待的员工使用积极应对的程度，(2)应对是否影响骚扰和虐待的持续或停止，以及(3)不成功应对在多大程度上预示着酒精使用和滥用。结果：积极应对对结束骚扰或虐待经历的能力无显著影响。此外，使用不成功的以问题为中心的应对方法预测了男性和女性的一些饮酒结果，控制了第一波饮酒和社会人口统计学特征。含义：数据表明，加强机构对预防工作场所骚扰和虐待的关注可能会对减少酒精使用和滥用产生影响。(C) 2001爱思唯尔科学公司版权所有。
Purpose: While sexual harassment and generalized workplace abuse (GWA) have been linked with alcohol use and abuse, active problem-focused coping has been shown to lessen vulnerability to deleterious mental health consequences of varied social stressors. At the same time, active coping is relatively more efficacious in response to stressors, which are amenable to change by personal actions. However, the moderating role that coping plays in relation to harassment and drinking is unknown. Method: Using data from a two-wave survey of university employees (N = 2038), we addressed the extent to which (1) active coping was utilized by harassed and abused employees, (2) whether coping impacted on the continuation or cessation of harassment and abuse, and (3) the extent to which nonsuccessful coping was predictive of alcohol use and abuse. Results: Active coping had no significant impact on the ability to end harassing or abusive experiences. Moreover, the use of problem-focused coping that was unsuccessful predicted some drinking outcomes for both men and women, controlling for Wave I drinking and sociodemographic characteristics. Implications: The data suggest that increased institutional attention to the prevention of workplace harassment and abuse might impact on decreasing alcohol use and abuse.
