OBJECTIVE
Most colleges have sanctions or required interventions for students who receive alcohol violations or medical evaluation for intoxication. The aim of this study was to establish profiles of mandated students from a combined data set using exploratory and replication cluster analysis.
METHOD
Data sets from three samples of mandated students (total participant n=393) were combined for exploratory analyses, and a fourth sample (n=289) was analyzed for replication. Clustering variables were past-month heavy drinking, past-year alcohol problems, incident alcohol use, responsibility for the incident, and aversiveness of the incident.
RESULTS
A three-cluster solution was produced in the exploratory analysis and confirmed in replication and cross-replication analyses. Clusters formed included a "Why Me?" cluster characterized by a pattern of relatively low heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems, very little incident drinking, and low responsibility and aversiveness. A "So What?" cluster was characterized by high heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems, moderate incident drinking and responsibility, and low aversiveness. A "Bad Incident" cluster was characterized by low scores for heavy drinking and problems and high levels of incident drinking, responsibility, and aversiveness. External variables supported the validity of the cluster solution.
CONCLUSIONS
Mandated students form clinically meaningful profiles on easily measured constructs.
目的
大多数学院对因违反酒精规定或因醉酒接受医学评估的学生都有制裁措施或要求进行干预。本研究的目的是使用探索性和重复性聚类分析，从合并的数据集中建立被要求干预学生的概况。
方法
将来自三个被要求干预学生样本（总参与者n = 393）的数据集合并进行探索性分析，并对第四个样本（n = 289）进行分析以进行重复性验证。聚类变量包括过去一个月的重度饮酒、过去一年的酒精问题、事件性饮酒、事件责任以及事件的厌恶程度。
结果
在探索性分析中得出了一个三类解决方案，并在重复性和交叉重复性分析中得到了证实。形成的类别包括一个“为什么是我？”类别，其特征是重度饮酒和与酒精相关问题的模式相对较低，事件性饮酒很少，责任和厌恶程度较低。一个“那又怎样？”类别，其特征是重度饮酒和与酒精相关问题较高，事件性饮酒和责任适中，厌恶程度较低。一个“不良事件”类别，其特征是重度饮酒和问题得分较低，事件性饮酒、责任和厌恶程度较高。外部变量支持了聚类解决方案的有效性。
结论
被要求干预的学生在易于测量的结构上形成了具有临床意义的概况。
