目的:本研究的目的是记录人内和人与人之间的协会的持续时间的日常活动(志愿服务,精神活动,媒体使用,社交,娱乐/校园活动和俱乐部,体育,类,工作的薪酬)和酒精的使用(数量和大量饮酒),并检查这些协会是否不同的性别和一周的时间。方法:第一学期的大学生(N = 717人; 51.6%女性)通过每日网络调查提供了长达14天的连续数据(N = 9,431天)。多水平分析测试了饮酒是否与活动持续时间、性别和每周时间相关。结果如下:人与人之间的关联表明,酒精的使用是较高的个人谁花更多的时间参与体育和社交和较低的学生谁花更多的时间在精神和志愿者活动。人与人之间的关联表明,学生们在周末喝更多的酒,更有可能大量饮酒,在那些日子里,他们花了比平时更多的时间社交,在那些日子里,他们花在精神活动和使用媒体上的时间比平时少。结论:选择活动和天与较少的酒精使用在人与人之间的水平,这表明,应注意选择效果和社会背景,以了解联系活动持续时间和学生饮酒的机制。(J.酒精药物研究,73,250-259,2012)
Objective: The aim of this study was to document within-person and between-persons associations between the duration of day-to-day activities (volunteering, spiritual activities, media use, socializing, entertainment/campus events and clubs, athletics, classes, working for pay) and alcohol use (quantity and heavy drinking) and to examine whether these associations differed by gender and the time of week. Method: First-semester college students (N = 717 persons; 51.6% female) provided up to 14 consecutive days of data (N = 9,431 days) via daily web-based surveys. Multilevel analyses tested whether alcohol use was associated with activity duration, gender, and time of week. Results: Between-persons associations indicated that alcohol use was higher among individuals who spent more time involved in athletics and socializing and lower among students who spent more time in spiritual and volunteer activities. Within-person associations indicated that students consumed more alcohol and were more likely to drink heavily on weekends, on days they spent more time than usual socializing, and on days they spent less time than usual in spiritual activities and using media. Conclusions: Select activities and days were linked with less alcohol use at both the between- and within-person levels, suggesting that attention should be paid to both selection effects and social context to understand the mechanisms linking activity duration and student drinking.
