Drinking motives have a prominent role in cognitive models of adolescent and adult alcohol decision-making (Cooper, Russell, Skinner, & Windle, 1992; Cooper, 1994). The complementary construct of motivation not to drink has received less attention (Epler, Sher & Piasecki, 2009). We examined how abstinence motives interacted with drinking motives and alcohol expectancies to predict alcohol consumption in samples of US high school students (N>2500). Nondrinking motives predicted lower rates of lifetime and current alcohol use. Motives not to drink interacted with specific drinking motives, like social and coping motives, and alcohol expectancies to predict certain aspects of drinking behavior. For example, motives not to drink had the greatest impact on youth with weaker social motivations. Findings highlight the distinction between motives not to drink and other alcohol-related cognitions in predicting adolescent alcohol consumption. This work not only supports the utility of this construct in developing models of youth alcohol-related decision-making but also has implications for prevention programming.
饮酒动机在青少年和成人酒精决策的认知模型中扮演着重要角色（Cooper、Russell、Skinner 和 Windle，1992；Cooper，1994）。互补的非饮酒动机结构受到的关注较少（Epler、Sher 和 Piasecki，2009）。我们研究了禁欲动机如何与饮酒动机和酒精期望相互作用，以预测美国高中生样本中的酒精消费（N>2500）。非饮酒动机预测更低的终生和当前酒精使用率。非饮酒动机与特定的饮酒动机，如社交和应对动机，以及酒精期望相互作用，以预测某些饮酒行为。例如，非饮酒动机对社交动机较弱的年轻人影响最大。研究结果强调了非饮酒动机与其他与酒精相关的认知在预测青少年酒精消费方面的区别。这项工作不仅支持了该构念在开发青少年与酒精相关决策模型中的效用，而且对预防计划也有影响。
