ABSTRACT Alcohol misuse by college students results in over 1,500 deaths per year21. Thus, it is crucial that we understand factors that promote excessive alcohol use by college students. Most commonly, college students report drinking for social facilitation purposes. While much research has evaluated those who drink for social rewards, less research has focused on whether individuals may have greater sensitivity to social rewards versus other rewards (e.g. monetary). Preliminary studies have found this broad social motivation (BSM) to be predictive of changes in drinking behavior over and above social drinking motives. Thus, further exploration into the circumstances in which those with BSM are more susceptible to heavy drinking is warranted. This study proposes to fill that gap by looking at how individual differences in BSM may interact with different peer groups to lead to heavier drinking. Further, this study will use innovative multimethod approaches to help us understand how changes in self-reported risk-taking assessed in a group setting as compared to an individual setting, as well as self-administered amount of drinking in a controlled lab setting, may translate to naturalistic behavior as measured through daily diary. College students over the age of 21 (N=100) will be randomized to complete an ad-lib drinking paradigm in either a group of their close friends, or a group of other college peers. Participants will then use daily diary to report their social context and drinking behaviors in natural settings. This multimethod approach will allow us to evaluate how behavior assessed in the lab predicts naturally occurring behaviors in an uncontrolled setting. For example, we will assess whether greater increases in self- reported risk-taking from baseline to after entering peer groups in the bar lab setting will predict heavier drinking on nights when most drinking companions are close friends reported during daily diary. Findings from this study could identify a high risk group of students who may be more sensitive to social rewards and social influences on drinking. This is innovative because research has demonstrated the importance of social motives in drinking behavior, yet, we have not determined the best way to predict who is most likely to engage in drinking for social facilitation. This study is aligned with the strategic plan of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), as it has implications for improving strategies to prevent alcohol misuse and alcohol-related consequences in this high risk developmental period. This research also supports the goal of NIAAA-funded research having enhanced public impacts, as this study could help frame college and university policies on campus social outlets. The funding of this project will provide substantial training to an emerging predoctoral researcher in ethics, advanced and multimethod approaches to research, quantitative methods, and career development. Overall, this project will shed light on how reward sensitivity specific to social context may influence drinking behavior, with implications for prevention and public policy for college drinking.

抽象的 大学生滥用酒精每年导致 1,500 多人死亡21。因此，至关重要的是我们 了解导致大学生过度饮酒的因素。最常见的是大学生 出于社会便利目的报告饮酒情况。虽然许多研究评估了那些为了社交而喝酒的人 奖励，很少有研究关注个人是否对社会奖励有更大的敏感性 与其他奖励（例如金钱）相比。初步研究发现这种广泛的社会动机（BSM） 预测社交饮酒动机之外的饮酒行为的变化。于是，进一步探索 有必要研究 BSM 患者更容易酗酒的情况。这 研究建议通过观察 BSM 中的个体差异如何与不同同伴相互作用来填补这一空白 群体导致酗酒。此外，这项研究将使用创新的多方法来帮助我们 了解与个人相比，在团体环境中如何评估自我报告的风险承担的变化 环境，以及在受控实验室环境中自我管理的饮酒量，可能会转化为自然主义 通过每日日记衡量的行为。 21岁以上的大学生（N=100）将被随机分配到 在一群亲密朋友或一群其他大学同龄人中完成即兴饮酒范例。 然后，参与者将使用日记来报告他们的社会背景和自然环境中的饮酒行为。 这种多方法方法将使我们能够评估实验室中评估的行为如何自然预测 在不受控制的环境中发生的行为。例如，我们将评估自我意识是否有更大的提高 报告的从基线到进入酒吧实验室环境中的同侪组后的冒险行为将预测更重 在日常日记中记录的大多数饮酒伙伴都是亲密朋友的夜晚饮酒。调查结果来自 这项研究可以识别出一个高风险的学生群体，他们可能对社会奖励和社交更加敏感。 对饮酒的影响。这是创新的，因为研究证明了社会动机的重要性 然而，在饮酒行为中，我们尚未确定预测谁最有可能饮酒的最佳方法 饮酒是为了社交便利。这项研究符合国家酒精研究所的战略计划 滥用和酗酒 (NIAAA)，因为它对于改进防止酒精滥用和酗酒的策略具有影响 在这个高风险发育时期与酒精相关的后果。这项研究还支持以下目标 NIAAA 资助的研究增强了公众影响，因为这项研究可以帮助构建学院和大学 校园社交渠道政策。该项目的资金将为新兴的技术人员提供大量培训 伦理学、先进和多方法研究方法、定量方法的博士前研究员， 和职业发展。总体而言，该项目将揭示特定于社会环境的奖励敏感性如何 可能会影响饮酒行为，对大学饮酒的预防和公共政策产生影响。
