Alcohol and Early Marriage: Spouse and Peer Influence

描述：这一竞争续篇旨在研究 饮酒模式的连续性/间断性和过渡过程中的问题 以概率发展框架为指导(Zucker， 1993年)。从这个角度来看，饮酒超过发育的变化 过渡既受先前风险状态的影响，也受以下变化的影响 在个人中，在他或她的关系中，在社会中 过渡带来的环境问题。因此，观察到的减少 在婚姻过渡期间饮酒可能是由于个体差异造成的 因素、关系因素或同伴和社交网络因素。原版 该项目关注650对夫妇饮酒模式的变化和问题 从他们结婚到结婚一周年，再到结婚两周年。 目前的项目包括对四年后的夫妇进行重新评估 结婚以解决饮酒模式和相关因素的进一步变化 在这些饮酒轨迹中。这一进一步的评估还将允许 夫妻饮酒问题对婚姻解体影响的考察， 预计到那时大约是20%到30%。 新婚夫妇在首次申请结婚证时被招募 婚姻，并在这些夫妇申请结婚时进行评估 执照，结婚后12个月，结婚后24个月，48 婚后几个月。这项评估对丈夫和妻子都是一样的 包括以下实质性领域的衡量标准：(1)饮酒模式 和问题；(2)个体差异因素(即 酗酒、酒精期望、社交、负面影响)；(3)婚姻 质量(满意度、离婚率)；(4)社交网络 特点。结构方程模型将被用来检验这两个 个体差异的横截面与纵向关系 影响饮酒的因素、婚姻家庭因素和社会网络因素 夫妻双方的使用和问题。据预测，一种模型 强调社交网络的中介作用是描述变化的最佳方式 饮酒中的个人危险因素、配偶饮酒和婚姻 质量也可能会影响饮酒。将利用线性增长模型来 描述婚姻中饮酒问题的4年饮酒轨迹 解散。

DESCRIPTION: This competing continuation is designed to examine the continuity/discontinuity of drinking patterns and problems over the transition to marriage and is guided by a probabilistic-developmental framework (Zucker, 1993). From this perspective, changes in drinking over developmental transitions are influenced by both the preceding risk status and changes that arise in the individual, in his or her relationships, and in the social environment as a result of the transition. Thus, observed reductions in drinking over the marital transition could arise from individual difference factors, relationship factors, or peer and social network factors. The original project focused on changes in drinking patterns and problems among 650 couples from the time of their marriage to their first, and then, second anniversary. The current project involves a re-assessment of couples four years post marriage to address further changes in drinking patterns and factors involved in these drinking trajectories. This further assessment will also allow for the examination of the impact drinking problems of couples on marital dissolution, which is estimated to be approximately 20 percent to 30 percent by that time. Couples are recruited as they apply for their marriage license for their first marriage, and assessing these couples at the time they apply for their marriage license, at 12 months postmarriage, and at 24 months postmarriage, and 48 months postmarriage. The assessment, which is identical for husband and wife includes measures of the following substantive domains: (1) Drinking Patterns and Problems; (2) Individual Difference Factors (i.e., Family History of Alcoholism, Alcohol Expectancies, Socialization, Negative Affect); (3) Marital Quality (Satisfaction, Closeness to Divorce); (4) Social Network Characteristics. Structural equation modeling will be utilized to examine both the cross-sectional and the longitudinal relationship of individual difference factors, marital and family factors, and social network factors to the alcohol use and problems of both husbands and wives. It is predicted that a model emphasizing the mediational role of social networks will best describe changes in drinking though individual risk factors, spouse drinking, and marital quality may also impact drinking. Linear growth models will be utilized to describe the 4 year drinking trajectories of drinking problems on marital dissolution.
