To investigate the protective role of personal identity consolidation against health risk behaviors in college-attending emerging adults.
A multisite sample of 1546 college students completed measures of personal identity consolidation and recent risk behavior engagement.
Multivariate Poisson regression indicated that personal identity consolidation was negatively related to binge drinking, illicit drug use, sexual risk behaviors, and risky driving. These findings were consistent across gender, ethnicity, and place of residence.
A consolidated sense of personal identity may protect college-attending emerging adults from health-compromising behaviors. Health professionals could incorporate an identity development component into college health programming.
探讨个人身份认同整合对进入大学阶段的新兴成年人健康风险行为的保护作用。
对1546名大学生进行多地点抽样,完成个人身份认同整合和近期风险行为参与情况的测量。
多变量泊松回归表明,个人身份认同整合与酗酒、非法药物使用、性风险行为和危险驾驶呈负相关。这些发现在性别、种族和居住地点方面是一致的。
个人身份认同的整合感可能会保护进入大学阶段的新兴成年人免受危害健康的行为影响。健康专业人员可将身份发展部分纳入大学健康规划中。
