To investigate gender differences in the dynamics of alcohol use, we gathered self-reported data from male and female college students. Results of our experiment showed that dominance power motivations were correlated with negative drinking outcomes for both men and women; assertiveness power motivations were associated with negative outcomes only for women. For both sexes, a higher proportion of positive social motivations was associated with fewer negative drinking outcomes. We expect that, in addition to the more traditionally defined needs for dominance power shown to be important for drinking among men, women may use alcohol in relation to needs for assertiveness and self-expression.
为了研究饮酒行为动态中的性别差异，我们收集了来自男女大学生的自我报告数据。我们的实验结果表明，支配力动机与男性和女性的负面饮酒结果均相关；自信力动机仅与女性的负面结果相关。对于两性而言，较高比例的积极社交动机与较少的负面饮酒结果相关。我们预计，除了传统上定义的对男性饮酒很重要的支配力需求外，女性饮酒可能与自信和自我表达的需求有关。
