College students are at risk for problematic alcohol use. Few studies, however, have examined alcohol dependence symptoms within a college sample. The current study assesses the prevalence, predictors, and stability of proxy Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) alcohol dependence symptoms among college freshmen. Participants were 3,720 freshmen taking part in a longitudinal study. Participants completed measures of alcohol use, fraternity and sorority membership, and behavioral undercontrol. Results revealed that alcohol dependence symptoms were prevalent and moderately stable among college freshmen. Both membership in a Greek organization and behavioral undercontrol predicted responses to our alcohol dependence proxy. In addition, Greek status interacted with behavioral undercontrol to predict alcohol dependence symptoms, such that Greek members high in behavioral undercontrol were especially vulnerable to symptoms of dependence.
大学生存在酒精使用问题的风险。然而，很少有研究在大学样本中考察酒精依赖症状。本研究评估了大学新生中代理版《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》（第4版；美国精神病学协会，1994年）酒精依赖症状的患病率、预测因素和稳定性。参与者为3720名参与一项纵向研究的新生。参与者完成了酒精使用、兄弟会和姐妹会成员身份以及行为控制不足的测量。结果显示，酒精依赖症状在大学新生中普遍存在且具有中等程度的稳定性。希腊组织成员身份和行为控制不足均能预测对我们的酒精依赖代理指标的反应。此外，希腊组织成员身份与行为控制不足相互作用，以预测酒精依赖症状，即行为控制不足程度高的希腊组织成员尤其容易出现依赖症状。
