The present study examined three alcohol-perception variables (descriptive norms, injunctive norms, and college-related alcohol beliefs) as mediators of the predictive effects of four personality traits (impulsivity, sensation seeking, anxiety sensitivity, and hopelessness) on alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences in a sample of mandated college students (n=875). Our findings replicated several findings of a previous study of incoming freshman college students (Hustad et al., in press) in that impulsivity and hopelessness had direct effects on alcohol-related problems, sensation seeking and impulsivity had indirect effects on alcohol-related outcomes via college-related alcohol beliefs, and college-related alcohol beliefs predicted both alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. We discuss the implications of our findings for global college student interventions as well as personality-targeted interventions.
本研究在一组强制要求参与的大学生样本(n = 875)中,考察了三种酒精认知变量(描述性规范、指令性规范和与大学相关的酒精信念),作为四种人格特质(冲动性、感觉寻求、焦虑敏感性和绝望感)对酒精使用及与酒精相关后果的预测作用的中介变量。我们的研究结果重复了之前一项针对大学新生的研究(赫斯塔德等人,即将发表)的若干发现,即冲动性和绝望感对与酒精相关的问题有直接影响,感觉寻求和冲动性通过与大学相关的酒精信念对与酒精相关的结果有间接影响,并且与大学相关的酒精信念既预测了酒精使用,也预测了与酒精相关的问题。我们讨论了研究结果对全球大学生干预措施以及针对人格的干预措施的意义。
