This study examined the associations between college students' self-reported alcohol use and corresponding collateral reports and identified factors that influence agreement between both sets of reports.
PARTICIPANTS/METHODS: Subject-collateral pairs (N = 300) were recruited from undergraduate psychology courses.
Data yielded moderate correlations between subject-collateral pairs for all alcohol use measures, whereas discrepancy analyses revealed a tendency for subjects to report greater alcohol use relative to collateral reports. Greater subject-collateral agreement regarding frequency of subject alcohol use was predicted by a greater frequency of shared drinking occasions between the dyads, lower subject self-reported drug use, and lower levels of collateral guessing, whereas greater correspondence for quantity of alcohol consumed was predicted by fewer subject self-reported alcohol-related negative consequences, lower levels of subject self-reported drug use, and lower levels of alcohol ingestion among collaterals.
College students appear to provide reasonably accurate self-reports of their alcohol use.
本研究考察了大学生自我报告的饮酒情况与相应的间接报告之间的关联，并确定了影响这两种报告一致性的因素。
参与者/方法：从本科心理学课程中招募了受试者-间接报告者配对（N=300）。
数据显示，所有饮酒量测量的受试者-间接报告者之间呈中度相关，而差异分析显示，受试者相对于间接报告者倾向于报告更大的饮酒量。在受试者饮酒频率上，受试者与间接报告者之间共享饮酒次数较多、受试者自我报告的吸毒行为较少、间接报告者猜测较少，对频率的估计更准确；而在饮酒量上，受试者自我报告的与酒精相关的不良后果较少、受试者自我报告的吸毒行为较少、间接报告者饮酒量较少，对数量的估计更准确。
大学生似乎能够对自己的饮酒量进行合理准确的自我报告。
