目标：对因饮酒而受到制裁的大学生进行酒精干预，以减少饮酒，减少饮酒和/或问题。然而，如果学生被强制接受干预，就不能假设改变的内在动机。本研究的目的是探讨强制干预之前性别和家族史对动机变量的影响。方法：参与者为 677 名学生（63% 男性），他们违反了宿舍酒精政策，被强制参加酒精滥用预防干预。在基线评估期间。学生描述了他们的饮酒模式并完成了酒精问题的生物风险评估；他们还报告了对制裁事件的态度、对制裁的同侪规范、对对其饮酒影响的抵制、改变饮酒的动机以及有关当前饮酒的决策平衡。 结果：在动机变量上出现了许多性别差异，表明女学生有更多的改变动机；家族史仅与饮酒模式和决策平衡有关。结论：如果动机因素影响对强制干预措施的接受度和反应，那么这些发现表明，有必要更加关注增强男学生改变的动机。 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Objective: Alcohol interventions to reduce drinking for college students sanctioned for alcohol use reduce drinking and/or problems. However, intrinsic motivation to change cannot be assumed if students are mandated to receive interventions. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of both gender and family history on motivational variables prior to a mandated intervention.Method: Participants were 677 students (63% male) who violated residence hall alcohol policy and were mandated to participate in an alcohol abuse prevention intervention. During a baseline assessment. students described their drinking patterns and completed an assessment of biological risk for alcohol problems; they also reported attitudes regarding the sanction event, perceived peer norms regarding sanctions, resistance to influences on their alcohol use, motivation to change alcohol use, and decisional balance regarding current alcohol use.Results: Many gender differences emerged on the motivational variables suggestive of more motivation to change among female students; family history was related only to drinking patterns and decisional balance.Conclusions: If motivational factors influence receptivity and response to mandated interventions, then these finding suggest that greater attention to enhancing motivation to change in male students is warranted.
