性侵犯和酗酒问题在大学女生中都很普遍，而且是相互关联的。横断面研究结果表明，减少消极情绪的饮酒动机（应对动机）或增加积极情绪的饮酒动机（增强动机）是性侵犯-问题饮酒关系的部分中介。然而，没有发表的纵向研究调查了这些关系。本研究测试了一个纵向模型，并检验了应对动机和增强动机作为潜在的中介。参与者是131名女大学生，她们完成了自我报告的性侵犯受害者和酗酒问题的基线测量。3个月随访时测量应对动机和增强动机；在六个月的随访中测量了饮酒问题。利用结构方程模型（SEM）分析了性侵犯与饮酒问题之间的直接和间接关系。零阶相关表明，饮酒动机、性侵犯和饮酒变量之间存在显著的正相关。纵向上，调解对应对动机有显著作用，但对增强动机无显著作用。最终，研究结果与性侵犯与酗酒问题之间的自我药物治疗假设最为一致，也就是说，饮酒是为了缓解症状或问题。(C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Sexual assault and problem drinking are both prevalent in college women and are interrelated. Findings from cross-sectional research indicate that motives to drink to decrease negative affect (coping motives) or to increase positive affect (enhancement motives) are partial mediators of the sexual assault-problem drinking relation. However, no published longitudinal studies have examined these relations. The current study tests a longitudinal model and examines coping and enhancement motives as potential mediators. Participants were 131 female undergraduates who completed baseline measures of self-reported sexual assault victimization and problem drinking. Coping and enhancement motives were measured at three-month follow up; problem drinking was measured at six-month follow-up. Analyses using structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated direct and indirect paths in the sexual assault-problem drinking relation. Zero-order correlations indicated significant, positive relations among drinking motives, sexual assault, and drinking variables. Longitudinally, mediation was evident for coping but not enhancement motives. Ultimately, findings were most consistent with self-medication hypotheses about the sexual assault - problem drinking relation - i.e., drinking in order to gain relief from symptoms or problems.
