Psychometric properties of a new scale that measures motivations towards alcohol use were examined using a sample of 412 male alcohol users in Sri Lanka aged 16-30 years. In addition, associations between drinking motives and drinking frequency were explored. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that a 3-factor model consisting of the factors personal enjoyment, tension reduction, and social pressure fit the data well. Overall, tension-reduction motivation was found to be prominent in the context of young males' drinking behavior in Sri Lanka. Associations between stress and alcohol use among young males warrant further investigations.
该研究使用斯里兰卡年龄在 16 至 30 岁之间的 412 名男性酒精使用者的样本,检验了一种新的测量饮酒动机的量表的心理测量特性。此外,还探讨了饮酒动机与饮酒频率之间的关联。验证性因子分析表明,由个人享受、减压和社会压力三个因素构成的三因素模型很好地拟合了数据。总的来说,在斯里兰卡年轻男性的饮酒行为背景下,减压动机较为突出。年轻人的压力与酒精使用之间的关联值得进一步研究。
