The literature suggests that identity impairments play a role in certain forms of maladaptive behavior. Thus, this study was designed to evaluate the extent to which a "Partier" self-concept confers risk for adverse drinking-related consequences, mediating the well documented relationship between college student binge drinking and adverse outcomes. Participants completed an Internet survey examining binge drinking behaviors and related consequences, "Partier" self-concept, and demographic characteristics. This sample was comprised of 251 undergraduate psychology students (M(age)=19.90, SD(age)=1.80; 83% female). Results suggest that "Partier" self-concept partially mediates the relationship between binge drinking and adverse consequences, and it contributes unique variance beyond that explained by frequency of binge drinking and duration of alcohol consumed during binge episodes. Future research should explore whether, for undergraduate college students, binge drinking prevention efforts tailored towards self-concept may fare better than those that have traditionally focused on heavy alcohol use, negative consequences, and related sanctions.
文献表明，身份障碍在某些适应不良行为中起着一定的作用。因此，本研究旨在评估“派对者”自我概念在多大程度上为不良饮酒相关后果带来风险，从而调节大学生狂饮与不良后果之间已有充分记录的关系。参与者完成了一项互联网调查，调查内容包括狂饮行为及相关后果、“派对者”自我概念和人口统计学特征。该样本由 251 名本科心理学学生组成（平均年龄=19.90，年龄标准差=1.80；83%为女性）。结果表明，“派对者”自我概念部分中介了狂饮与不良后果之间的关系，并且除了狂饮频率和狂饮期间饮酒量所解释的部分之外，还存在独特的差异。未来的研究应该探讨对于大学生来说，针对自我概念的预防狂饮的努力是否比传统上侧重于大量饮酒、负面后果和相关制裁的努力更有效。
