University Life Transitions Telephone Diary Study

描述(由申请者提供)：大学生活转型(ULTRA)项目的目标是提高对以下方面的了解：(1)青少年后期学生饮酒经历的自然生态及其后果；(2)酒精预期和后果在饮酒决定中所起的作用。基于活动生物体模型和酒精预期理论，该应用程序寻求资金，用于对大学新生入职培训(n=943)收集的问卷进行数据分析，并对目标亚样本(n=202，男=18.8年，SD=.4)进行一系列每周10次的电话采访。具体目标是：目标1：酒精预期、酒精使用以及积极和消极饮酒后果的个体内变异性模型。密集重复测量访谈数据的分层线性建模(HLM)将被用来描述一个学期内酒精消费的波动、节奏和模式。目的2：检验基于理论基础的假设，即酒精预期、使用和后果的人内交互随着时间的推移而产生的协变。根据酒精预期理论，假设积极和消极的酒精预期是为了预测饮酒；假设酒精使用是为了预测积极和消极的结果；以及积极的(但不是消极的)结果是假设的，以预测人的预期的变化。目标3：确定酒精预期、使用和后果中的人内差异和协变性的人与人之间的心理社会预测因素。在酒精问题家族史、个性、目标、适应、酒精和其他药物使用史、感知的酒精使用规范和活动(希腊制度、荣誉计划、春假假期)方面的个体差异将作为人与人之间的预测因素，如目标1和2所模拟的那样。目标4：检验与饮酒有关的积极和消极影响的人内共同变化。这项研究将模拟积极和消极的情绪是否与人体内饮酒有关。此外，还将研究人与人之间的协调者，以及饮酒和饮酒后果之间的区别联系，这些联系的动机是提高社交能力和降低紧张程度。这些目标将通过对ULTRA项目的定向调查和电话采访研究进行分析来实现。这种密集的重复测量设计跟踪学生到他们大学的第一年，允许检查人与人之间的差异，通过使用HLM在酒精预期、使用、后果和影响方面的人与人之间的时间差异和公司差异。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives of the University Life Transitions (ULTRA) Project are to improve understanding of: (1) the natural ecology of late adolescent students' experiences with alcohol and its consequences; and (2) the role played by alcohol expectancies and consequences in alcohol use decisions. Based on an active organism model and alcohol expectancy theory, this application seeks funds for data analysis of questionnaires collected at university freshman orientation (n=943) plus a series of 10 weekly telephone interviews on a targeted sub-sample (n=202, M=1 8.8 years, SD=.4). Specific aims are: Aim 1: Model intra-individual variability in alcohol expectancies, alcohol use, and positive and negative drinking consequences. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) of the intensive repeated measures interview data will be used to describe fluctuations, rhythms, and patterns of alcohol consumption across an academic semester. Aim 2: Test theoretically based hypotheses about reciprocal within-person through-time co-variation of alcohol expectancies, use, and consequences. Based on alcohol expectancy theory, positive and negative alcohol expectancies are hypothesized to predict alcohol use; alcohol use is hypothesized to predict positive and negative consequences; and positive (but not negative) consequences are hypothesized to predict within-person changes in expectancies. Aim 3: Identify between-person psychosocial predictors of within-person variation and co-variation in alcohol expectancies, use, and consequences. Individual differences in family history of alcohol problems, personality, goals, adjustment, alcohol and other drug use history, perceived alcohol use norms, and activities (Greek system, honors program, Spring break vacations) will serve as between-person predictors of within-person variation and co-variation as modeled by Aims 1 and 2. Aim 4: Examine within-person co-variation of positive and negative affect with alcohol use. The study will model whether positive and negative affect co-vary with alcohol use within persons. In addition, between-person moderators and differential links between alcohol use and consequences by drinking motivated by social enhancement vs. tension reduction will be examined. These aims will be addressed by conducting analyses of the ULTRA Project's Orientation Survey and Telephone Interview Study. This intensive repeated measures design following students through their first year of college permits the examination of between-person differences in within-person through-time variation and Co. variation in alcohol expectancies, use, consequences, and affect using HLM.
