先前对墨西哥裔美国人的非大学样本的研究表明，性别缓和了文化适应和饮酒之间的联系。我们在一个大学生样本中复制了这一发现，并试图通过研究社会背景、家庭冲突和心理功能的中介作用来解释文化适应对墨西哥裔美国男性和女性的不同影响。参与者是来自加州和德克萨斯州三所州立大学的148名墨西哥裔美国人（67%为女性，M年龄23岁），他们完成了自我报告调查。在多变量分析控制年龄，母亲的教育，生活状况，和网站，语言涵化与增加酒精使用和滥用的妇女，但不是男性。两个社会背景变量（社会促进和家庭饮酒）调解文化适应和酒精使用（大量饮酒，过去一年的酒精使用，和复合饮酒变量）之间的关联妇女。研究结果强调了社会背景对理解拉丁裔大学生饮酒的重要性，并指出了未来研究和干预发展的方向。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Prior research with non-college samples of Mexican Americans has demonstrated that gender moderates the association between acculturation and alcohol use. We replicated this finding in a college student sample and attempted to account for the differential impact of acculturation on Mexican American men and women by examining the mediating effects of social context, family conflict and psychological functioning. Participants were 148 Mexican Americans (67% female; M age 23 years) from three state universities in California and Texas who completed self-report surveys. In multivariate analyses controlling for age, maternal education, living situation, and site, linguistic acculturation was associated with increased alcohol use and misuse among women but not men. Two social context variables (social facilitation and family drinking) mediated the association between acculturation and alcohol use (heavy drinking, past year alcohol use, and a composite drinking variable) among women. The findings highlight the importance of social context for understanding alcohol use by Latina college students and indicate directions for future research and intervention development.
