The purpose of this study was to examine among college students (N = 458; 249 women) whether drinking to cope (DTC) motives moderate the effect of daily negative mood states in predicting the onset of weekly drinking.
Using a secure, Internet-based survey across 2 consecutive years, participants first completed measures of drinking motives and then reported on their mood states and alcohol use daily for 30 days.
Multilevel discrete-time survival models indicated a significant interaction between DTC motives and anxiety in predicting the onset of drinking each week. As predicted, individuals with stronger DTC motives initiated drinking relatively earlier during high compared with low anxiety weeks. In contrast, individuals with weaker coping motives initiated drinking later during high compared with low anxiety weeks. We also found that coping motives moderated the association between anger and weekly drinking onset, with high DTC individuals showing later drinking onset on high anger weeks.
Findings are discussed in terms of how time-to-drink models might inform us about the multiple processes involved in negative mood-related drinking, the importance of examining discrete negative mood states, and what strong endorsement of DTC motives might reflect among college students.
本研究旨在调查在大学生群体（N = 458；249名女性）中，借酒消愁（DTC）动机是否会调节日常负面情绪状态在预测每周饮酒行为起始方面的作用。
通过一项连续两年的基于互联网的安全调查，参与者首先完成饮酒动机测量，然后连续30天每日报告其情绪状态和饮酒情况。
多水平离散时间生存模型表明，在预测每周饮酒行为起始方面，DTC动机与焦虑之间存在显著交互作用。正如预期的那样，与低焦虑周相比，DTC动机较强的个体在高焦虑周开始饮酒的时间相对较早。相反，应对动机较弱的个体在高焦虑周开始饮酒的时间比低焦虑周更晚。我们还发现，应对动机调节了愤怒与每周饮酒起始之间的关联，DTC动机高的个体在高愤怒周开始饮酒的时间较晚。
从饮酒时间模型如何让我们了解与负面情绪相关饮酒的多个过程、检查离散负面情绪状态的重要性以及DTC动机的强烈认可在大学生中可能反映出什么等方面对研究结果进行了讨论。
