对冰岛十年级学生自我报告的饮食咖啡因和酒精摄入量与愤怒和暴力行为的关系进行了调查。采用结构方程模型研究了3670个样本中测量变量和潜在变量对父母经济状况、家庭结构、ADHD和同伴犯罪的直接和间接影响。观察到了以前没有报道过的性别差异，特别是在愤怒可能是咖啡因和酒精消费背景下暴力行为的调解人方面。研究结果表明，有必要考虑咖啡因的摄入与青少年愤怒和暴力的关系。
Self-reported dietary caffeine and alcohol consumption were examined in relation to anger and violent behavior in Icelandic tenth-graders. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to investigate direct and indirect effects of measured and latent variables in the population sample of 3,670, controlling for parental financial standing, family structure, ADHD, and peer delinquency. Gender differences were observed that have not been reported previously, especially in relation to anger as a possible mediator of violent behavior against a background of caffeine and alcohol consumption. Study findings suggest the need to take account of caffeine consumption in relation to adolescent anger and violence.
