饮酒认同强度（一个人对自己作为饮酒者的看法有多强烈）是危险饮酒的一个有希望的风险因素。下一步关键是调查饮酒身份的中心地位（即饮酒与其他身份领域（如幸福感、人际关系、教育）的相对重要性）是否也发挥了作用。因此，我们开发了饮酒身份中心性的显式和隐式测量，并在控制显式饮酒身份强度后将它们评估为危险饮酒的预测因子。进行了两项研究（Ns 分别 = 360 和 450）。自认为是全日制学生的参与者完成了显性身份强度、显性和隐性中心性以及酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）的测量。研究 1a 评估了内隐测量的两种变体（多类别内隐关联测试的短格式与长格式）；研究 1b 仅包括长形式并评估了饮酒量。在研究 1a 中，在控制显性饮酒认同强度后，隐性和显性中心性测量与 AUDIT 分数呈显着正相关。隐式测量变量没有显着差异，但长格式的内部一致性稍高。在研究 1b 中，重复了显性而非隐性中心性的结果。这些研究提供了初步证据，表明饮酒身份中心性可能是预测危险饮酒的重要因素。未来的研究应该改进其测量方法，并评估实验和纵向研究中隐性和显性的中心性。我们制定了饮酒身份中心性的隐式和显式测量方法。在两项密切相关的研究中，它们被评估为饮酒的预测因素。他们与饮酒的关系超出了饮酒身份的强度。应进一步评估该构造并将其纳入理论。饮酒身份中心性的衡量也应该得到改进。
Drinking identity strength (how strongly one views oneself as a drinker) is a promising risk factor for hazardous drinking. A critical next step is to investigate whether the centrality of drinking identity (i.e., the relative importance of drinking vs. other identity domains, like well-being, relationships, education) also plays a role. Thus, we developed explicit and implicit measures of drinking identity centrality and evaluated them as predictors of hazardous drinking after controlling for explicit drinking identity strength. Two studies were conducted (Ns = 360 and 450, respectively). Participants, who self-identified as full-time students, completed measures of explicit identity strength, explicit and implicit centrality, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Study 1a evaluated two variants of the implicit measure (short- vs. long-format of the Multi-category Implicit Association Test); Study 1b only included the long form and also assessed alcohol consumption. In Study 1a, implicit and explicit centrality measures were positively and significantly associated with AUDIT scores after controlling for explicit drinking identity strength. There were no significant differences in the implicit measure variants, but the long format had slightly higher internal consistency. In Study 1b, results replicated for explicit, but not implicit, centrality. These studies provide preliminary evidence that drinking identity centrality may be an important factor for predicting hazardous drinking. Future research should improve its measurement and evaluate implicit and explicit centrality in experimental and longitudinal studies. We developed implicit and explicit measures of drinking identity centrality. They were evaluated as predictors of drinking in two, closely-related, studies. They were associated with drinking above and beyond drinking identity strength. The construct should be further evaluated and incorporated into theory. Measurement of drinking identity centrality should also be improved.
