Approximately 40% of college students reported engaging in heavy episodic or "binge" drinking in the 2 weeks prior to being surveyed. Research indicates that college students suffering from depression are more likely to report experiencing negative consequences related to their drinking than other students are. The reasons for this relationship have not been well-studied. Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine whether use of protective behavioral strategies (PBS), defined as cognitive-behavioral strategies an individual can use when drinking alcohol that limit both consumption and alcohol-related problems, mediated the relationship between depressive symptoms and alcohol-related negative consequences among college students. Data were obtained from 686 participants from a large, public university who were referred to an alcohol intervention as a result of violating on-campus alcohol policies. Results from structural equation modeling analyses indicated that use of PBS partially mediated the relationship between depressive symptoms and alcohol-related negative consequences. Implications for clinicians treating college students who report experiencing depressive symptoms or consuming alcohol are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
大约 40%的大学生报告在接受调查前的两周内有过重度或“狂饮”行为。研究表明，患有抑郁症的大学生比其他学生更有可能报告因饮酒而产生的负面后果。但尚未对这种关系的原因进行充分研究。因此，本研究的目的是确定保护性行为策略（PBS）的使用是否在抑郁症状与大学生饮酒相关负面后果之间起中介作用，PBS 定义为个体在饮酒时可使用的认知行为策略，可限制饮酒量和与酒精相关的问题。数据来自因违反校内饮酒政策而被转介到酒精干预项目的一所大型公立大学的 686 名参与者。结构方程模型分析的结果表明，PBS 的使用部分中介了抑郁症状与饮酒相关负面后果之间的关系。讨论了对报告有抑郁症状或饮酒的大学生进行治疗的临床医生的意义。（APA，2010）
