在那些认同（即与自己相关）饮酒的人中，有问题的饮酒量更高。我们通过考虑身份投资的两个维度，扩展了之前对饮酒身份的研究——即分配给该身份的精神资源，可能会激励人们追求与身份相关的目标。我们考虑了饮酒身份的重要性（即，一个人认为它有多重要）和饮酒身份的思考频率（即，一个人思考它的频率）。我们从两个角度研究这些维度：绝对视角（即，无论其他身份如何，对饮酒身份的投资）和相对视角（即，与其他生活领域[教育、福祉和人际关系]相关的身份相比，对饮酒身份的投资）。我们的目的是评估这些投资维度是否与饮酒和酒精使用障碍风险呈正相关，无论是与饮酒身份的认可相互作用还是除了认可饮酒身份之外。接受危险饮酒筛查的大学生（N = 521）完成了酒精消费、酒精使用障碍风险以及饮酒身份认可和投资的自我报告测量。控制性别和饮酒身份认可后，绝对和相对饮酒身份思维频率与饮酒量和酒精使用障碍风险呈独特且正相关。饮酒认同的绝对重要性和相对重要性都不能唯一地预测结果。饮酒身份投资，如与饮酒认同相关的思考的绝对和相对频率所表明的，可能是饮酒和酒精使用障碍风险的另一个风险因素和/或临床目标。
Problematic alcohol consumption is elevated among those who identify (i.e., associate themselves) with drinking. We extended prior research on drinking identity by considering two dimensions of investment in identity - i.e., mental resources allocated to that identity that may motivate the pursuit of identity-related goals. We considered drinking identity importance (i.e., how important one considers it to be) and drinking identity thought frequency (i.e., how frequently one thinks about it). We investigated these dimensions from two perspectives: an absolute perspective (i.e., investment in drinking identity irrespective of other identities) and a relative perspective (i.e., investment in drinking identity compared to identities associated with other life domains [education, well-being, and personal relationships]). We aimed to evaluate whether these investment dimensions were positively associated with alcohol consumption and risk of alcohol use disorder either in interaction with or in addition to endorsement of drinking identity. College students (N = 521) who were screened for exhibiting hazardous drinking completed self-report measures of alcohol consumption, risk of alcohol use disorder, and drinking identity endorsement and investment. Controlling for gender and drinking identity endorsement, absolute and relative drinking identity thought frequency were uniquely and positively associated with alcohol consumption and risk of alcohol use disorder. Neither absolute nor relative importance of identification with drinking uniquely predicted outcomes. Drinking identity investment, as signaled by absolute and relative frequency of thought related to identification with drinking, may be an additional risk factor and/or clinical target for alcohol consumption and risk of alcohol use disorder.
