目的:为了研究关于大学生饮酒科普的四个问题:(1)中西部一所中型州立大学学生中科普的流行率;(2)饮酒科普与酒精相关结果之间的关系;(3)在学生应对过程的更大背景下使用饮酒科普;以及(4)饮酒科普的性别差异,方法:资料来自275名大学生(164名女性,104名男性,7名未报告性别)的横断面样本。在接受评估的275名学生中,分析了260名报告曾饮酒的学生的数据。饮酒应对既作为一种风格,并在响应一个特定的情况下确定的参与者,结果进行了检查。饮酒科普在大学生中非常普遍,与更高的酒精消费水平和大量饮酒有关。以及酒精相关的消极和积极后果的水平。在研究饮酒科普和其他变量对酒精使用的相对影响时。回归分析表明,积极的酒精预期与酒精使用密切相关,即使考虑到其他变量。情境性饮酒科普仍然是大多数酒精使用指标的一个相当强的预测因素。对性别差异的分析表明,男性比女性更依赖酒精来科普。结论:饮酒科普是大学生饮酒的一个重要的问题因素。干预措施的影响进行了讨论。
Objective: To examine four issues regarding college-student drinking to cope: (1) The prevalence of drinking to cope among students in a medium-sized Midwestern state university: (2) the relationships among drinking to cope and alcohol-related outcomes: (3) the use of drinking to cope within the larger Context of students' coping processes: and (4) gender differences in drinking to cope, Method: Data were drawn from a sample of 275 undergraduates (164 women, 104 men, 7 subjects of unreported gender) in across-sectional sample. Of the 275 students assessed, data were analyzed from the 260 who reported ever having consumed alcohol. Drinking to cope was examined both as a style and in response to a specific situation identified by the participant, Results. Drinking to cope is very common among college students and is related to much higher level of alcohol consumption, episodes of heavy drinking. and levels of both negative and positive alcohol-related consequences. In examining the relative influence of drinking to cope and other variables on alcohol use. regression analyses indicated that positive alcohol expectancies were strongly related to alcohol use and that, even when considering other variables. situational drinking to cope remained a fairly strong predictor of most of the alcohol-use indicators. Analysis of gender differences suggested that men rely on alcohol to cope more than women do. Conclusion, : Drinking to cope is a significant and highly problematic factor in college student alcohol use. Implications for interventions are discussed.
