目的：与非运动员相比，大学生运动员饮酒量更大，与酒精相关的负性后果也更多。本研究的目的是确定饮酒动机是否解释了校际运动员在经历与酒精相关的负面后果时的差异性，并分析了个体饮酒动机与负面后果之间的关系在不同后果中的强度和模式是如何变化的。方法：对206名(55%女性)全国大学生田径协会一级赛区运动员的自我报告资料进行分析，这些运动员来自中西部的一所大型大学，他们在过去的一年中报告饮酒。参与者完成了饮酒动机测量和核心酒精和药物调查。结果：饮酒动机解释了在经历与酒精相关的负面后果方面的差异。因应对原因饮酒与大多数消极后果的关系最强，但对于某些后果，社交动机和增强动机与应对动机的后果相似或更强。结论：这项研究表明，在尚未研究的人群中，饮酒动机总体上可以有效地预测与酒精相关的负面后果，即校际运动员。研究结果表明，出于负面强化原因(即应对动机)饮酒通常是酒精相关后果的最强动机预测因素，尽管预测后果的个人动机的相对强度可能会因个人后果的内容而异。
Objective: Intercollegiate athletes consume more alcohol and experience more negative alcohol-related consequences than nonathletes. The purpose of this study was to determine if drinking motives accounted for variability among intercollegiate athletes in experiencing negative alcohol-related consequences, and to analyze how the strength and patterns of the relationship between individual drinking motives and negative consequences varied among the different consequences. Method: Self-report data were analyzed on 206 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I athletes (55% female), selected from a large, midwestern university, who reported drinking alcohol in the past year. Participants completed the Drinking Motives Measure and the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey. Results: Drinking motives accounted for variability in experiencing negative alcohol-related consequences. Drinking for coping reasons displayed the strongest relationship with most of the negative consequences, but for some consequences social and enhancement motives displayed relationships with the consequences that were either similar to or stronger than those of the coping motives. Conclusions: This research demonstrated that drinking motives in general are useful predictors of negative alcohol-related consequences among a yet unstudied population, intercollegiate athletes. The findings suggest that drinking for negatively reinforcing reasons (i.e., coping motives) is generally the strongest motivational predictor of alcohol-related consequences, although the relative strength of individual motives in predicting consequences can vary depending upon the content of an individual consequence.
