本章考察了工作场所与酒精使用和滥用之间的关系,并讨论了评估这些关系的研究中的一些方法问题。在对底特律大都市有代表性的就业男性和女性样本的数据分析中,我们发现工作压力(工作竞争和时间压力)与酒精的使用有关,工作压力、与数据、人和事物的不那么复杂的工作以及工作压力感与酒精滥用有关。当我们解读这一发现时,饮酒被认为是应对紧张的工作环境的一种手段,无论这种饮酒是为了减压还是为了自我刺激。对这些发现的几种不同解释与底特律研究的其他数据进行了讨论,我们为进一步研究受雇男性和女性的工作和饮酒经历提出了方向。
This chapter examines the relationships between the workplace and the use and abuse of alcohol and discusses some methodological problems in studies that assess these relationships. In an analysis of data from a representative sample of employed men and women in metropolitan Detroit, we find that pressures of the job (job competition and time pressures) are related to the use of alcohol and that job pressures, less complex work with data, people, and things, and feelings of job stress are related to the abuse of alcohol. As we interpret the findings, alcohol is consumed as a means of coping with a stressful work environment whether that consumption is for tension reduction or for self-stimulation. Several alternative interpretations of the findings are addressed with other data from the Detroit study, and we suggest directions for further research on the working and drinking experiences of employed men and women.
