The Transtheoretical Stages of Change Model specifies that when the costs outweigh the benefits of substance abuse, the resulting discomfort can be a catalyst for change. The current study evaluated the roles of depression and anxiety in motivating readiness to change current drinking behaviors. Results from regression analyses of self-report data from 233 undergraduate hazardous drinkers indicated that higher levels of depression and anxiety were associated with elevated readiness to change. Additionally, study findings showed that when considered together, anxiety accounted for more of the individual differences in alcohol change readiness than depressive symptoms. Study results were discussed in the context of existing models of change readiness and implications for further research and clinical practice.
跨理论行为改变阶段模型指出，当药物滥用的成本超过收益时，由此产生的不适感可能成为改变的催化剂。本研究评估了抑郁和焦虑在促使改变当前饮酒行为意愿方面的作用。对233名本科危险饮酒者的自我报告数据进行回归分析的结果表明，较高水平的抑郁和焦虑与更高的改变意愿相关。此外，研究结果显示，综合考虑时，焦虑比抑郁症状在酒精改变意愿的个体差异中占比更大。研究结果在现有改变意愿模型的背景下进行了讨论，并探讨了其对进一步研究和临床实践的启示。
