许多研究人员提出，对上瘾行为的自我控制可能会受到个人在精神上表现自己行为的方式的影响。以前基于问卷的研究表明，那些报告其酒精使用行为的更高级别身份的人可能会表现出更难控制其酒精使用(Wegner，Vallacher，&Dizadji，1989)。然而，目前尚不清楚这种联系是因为精神上代表特定饮酒事件的独特方式，还是因为那些控制能力较差的人在更广泛的情况下喝更多的酒和饮酒。目前的研究试图通过在结构化的实验室饮酒任务中检查酒精控制受损和饮酒行为的行为识别之间的关联来解决这个问题。91名年轻的成年危险饮酒者(21-35岁)完成了酒精控制受损量表(Heather，Tebbut，Mattick，&Zamir，1993)和一项饮酒任务。然后，参与者完成了利克特量表测量，以评估他们饮酒行为的行为识别。结果表明，那些报告对酒精的控制能力受到更大损害的人，即使在考虑酒精消费变量的情况下，也会在更高级别的动作识别中经历饮酒任务。这些发现与以下观点是一致的，即对酒精使用行为的更高水平的认同可能会阻碍自我控制(Wegner等人，1989)，并且自我管理方法可以通过处理行为的心理表征的策略来增强。
A number of investigators have proposed that self-control over addictive behaviors may be influenced by the way individuals mentally represent their actions. Previous research based on questionnaires has suggested that those who report higher-level identifications of their alcohol use behavior may exhibit more difficulty controlling their alcohol use (Wegner, Vallacher, & Dizadji, 1989). However, it is unclear whether this association is because of characteristic ways of mentally representing specific drinking events or the fact that those who have more impaired control consume more alcohol and drink across a broader array of situations. The current study sought to address this question by examining the association between impaired control over alcohol and action identification of drinking behavior in a structured laboratory drinking task. Ninety-one young adult hazardous drinkers (21–35 years) completed the Impaired Control Over Alcohol Scale (Heather, Tebbut, Mattick, & Zamir, 1993) and an alcohol consumption task. Participants then completed a Likert scale measure to assess action identification of their drinking behavior. Results showed that those who reported greater impaired control over alcohol experienced the drinking task at higher-level action identification even when accounting for alcohol consumption variables. These findings are consistent with the view that higher-level identification of alcohol use behavior may hinder self-control (Wegner et al., 1989), and that self-management approaches may be enhanced through strategies to address mental representation of action.
