虽然非学生新兴成年人经历酒精相关问题的风险较高，但专门针对这一群体饮酒问题的研究仍然很少。本研究试图通过使用回顾性日记法检查30天内的饮酒变异性，为非学生饮酒提供独特的见解。具体目标是：（1）比较30天内酒精使用的人内和人与人之间的差异，以及（2）确定人与人之间的中心社会认知因素（即，社会期望，饮酒规范，社会饮酒动机）预测人与人之间的饮酒以及饮酒的人内变异。参与者是195（65.1%的男性）非学生新兴的成年人从社区招募的平均年龄为21.88（SD = 2.08）岁。研究结果显示，每日饮酒量的差异很大一部分归因于人内（83%）而不是人与人之间（17.2%）的水平。社会期望，饮酒规范和社会动机被发现影响每日饮酒量的变化。我们的研究结果有助于知识，可以指导设计和定制干预策略的努力，以最大限度地减少未充分研究和高危饮酒人群所经历的危害。
While nonstudent emerging adults are at elevated risk for experiencing alcohol-related problems, there remains a paucity of research devoted specifically to addressing drinking in this group. The present study sought to offer unique insights into nonstudent drinking by examining drinking variability across 30 days using a retrospective diary method. Specific aims were to: (1) compare within- and between-person variability in alcohol use across 30 days, and (2) determine the extent to which central social-cognitive between-person factors (i.e., social expectancies, perceived drinking norms, social drinking motivations) predict between-person alcohol use as well as within-person variability in drinking. Participants were 195 (65.1% men) nonstudent emerging adults recruited from the community with a mean age of 21.88 (SD = 2.08) years. Findings showed that a substantial portion of variation in daily alcohol consumption was attributable to the within-person (83%) rather than between-person (17.2%) level. Social expectancies, perceived drinking norms, and social motives were found to influence variability in daily alcohol consumption. Our findings contribute to knowledge that could guide efforts to design and tailor intervention strategies to minimize the harms experienced by an understudied and at-risk population of drinkers.
