The aim of the present study was to examine spirituality, religiosity, and alcohol-related beliefs among college students. The sample consisted of 236 college students - 120 girls and 116 boys. The age range of the sample was between 18 and 21 years. The tools used in the study were Personal Information Data Sheet, Scale for Assessment of Attitudes toward Drinking and Alcoholism (SAADA), Alcohol Expectancy Questionnaire - Adult Form (AEQ), Beliefs and Values Scale (BVS), and The Religious Background and Behavior Questionnaire (RBBQ). The data were analyzed using t-test and Pearson's product moment correlation. Higher spirituality, religiosity, and both the components of religiosity - God Consciousness and Formal Practices, were all associated with less acceptance of drinking and alcoholism. Positive affect and higher spirituality were both associated with religiosity as well as its components. A positive correlation was found among religiosity and both its components. The results revealed gender differences in that the God Consciousness component of religiosity was found to be higher in girls, but not boys, who did not have exposure to alcohol through prior use or alcohol use in family. The implications for primary prevention for college students are discussed.
本研究旨在考察大学生的灵性、宗教信仰和与酒精相关的信念。样本由 236 名大学生组成，其中 120 名女生和 116 名男生。样本的年龄范围在 18 至 21 岁之间。研究中使用的工具包括个人信息数据表、饮酒和酗酒态度评估量表（SAADA）、酒精期望问卷 - 成人形式（AEQ）、信仰和价值观量表（BVS）以及宗教背景和行为问卷（RBBQ）。使用 t 检验和皮尔逊积差相关对数据进行了分析。较高的灵性、宗教信仰以及宗教信仰的两个组成部分——上帝意识和正式实践，都与对饮酒和酗酒的接受程度较低有关。积极的情感和更高的灵性都与宗教信仰及其组成部分有关。宗教信仰及其组成部分之间存在正相关。研究结果显示出性别差异，即宗教信仰的上帝意识成分在没有通过以前使用或家庭饮酒接触过酒精的女孩中较高，但在男孩中则没有。讨论了对大学生进行初级预防的意义。
