The aim of the present study was to test promising constructs (decisional balance and drinking identity) and their interaction with gender as predictors of risky college drinking. We expected that, consistent with previous work, drinking identity would be positively associated with alcohol consumption and problems. We further expected that drinking identity would be more strongly related to outcomes among individuals scoring low in decisional balance. Additionally, we expect the relationship between drinking identity and alcohol behavior to vary as a function of decisional balance.
Participants included 329 undergraduates (M=23.11; SD=5.63; 74.47% female) who met heavy drinking criteria (defined as women who consumed 4 or more drinks per occasion and men who consumed 5 or more drinks per occasion) and completed an online survey comprised of self-report measures.
Decisional balance was negatively correlated with both drinking and problems, which partially supported expectations. As expected, drinking identity was positively correlated with drinking and problems. A two-way interaction emerged between drinking identity and decisional balance regarding problems, indicating that drinking identity was associated with more problems, especially among those lower in decisional balance. A three-way interaction between drinking identity, decisional balance, and gender emerged regarding problems such that drinking identity was associated with more problems for those lower in decisional balance and this effect was stronger among men.
Findings lend support to the perspective that decisional balance, drinking identity, and gender are all influential factors that are associated with the experience of alcohol problems.
本研究的目的是检验有前景的构念（决策平衡和饮酒身份认同）及其与性别之间的相互作用，以此作为大学生危险饮酒行为的预测因素。我们预期，与之前的研究一致，饮酒身份认同将与酒精消费及相关问题呈正相关。我们还进一步预期，在决策平衡得分较低的个体中，饮酒身份认同与饮酒结果的关联会更强。此外，我们预计饮酒身份认同与饮酒行为之间的关系会因决策平衡的不同而有所变化。
研究参与者包括329名本科生（平均年龄M = 23.11岁；标准差SD = 5.63；74.47%为女性），这些学生符合重度饮酒标准（定义为女性每次饮酒4杯或更多，男性每次饮酒5杯或更多），并完成了一项由自我报告测量组成的在线调查。
决策平衡与饮酒量及饮酒问题均呈负相关，这部分支持了我们的预期。正如预期的那样，饮酒身份认同与饮酒量及饮酒问题呈正相关。在饮酒问题方面，饮酒身份认同和决策平衡之间出现了双向交互作用，表明饮酒身份认同与更多问题相关，尤其是在决策平衡较低的人群中。在饮酒问题上，饮酒身份认同、决策平衡和性别之间出现了三向交互作用，即对于决策平衡较低的人群，饮酒身份认同与更多问题相关，且这种效应在男性中更强。
研究结果支持了这样一种观点，即决策平衡、饮酒身份认同和性别都是与酒精问题体验相关的影响因素。
