The present study provides a meta-analytic review of the association between alcohol use and engagement in casual sexual relationships and experiences (CSREs). Specifically, the meta-analysis focused on non-experimental studies of community and college samples. Results from the meta-analysis, which included 29 relevant studies (34 effect sizes), indicated that alcohol use was significantly associated with engaging in CSREs, r = .34, 95 % CI [.29-.38], but that this link showed considerable variability. Subsequent analyses examined moderators that may explain this heterogeneity. Results revealed that age and method of assessment significantly moderated the effect of alcohol use on CSRE engagement such that the association was greater for emerging adults (18-24 year olds) than older adults and online assessments produced greater effect sizes than paper-and-pencil assessments. These results have implications for future research and intervention development. In particular, this meta-analysis emphasizes the need for studies that utilize consistent measurements of CSRE engagement, include diverse methodology, and expand upon sampling.
本研究对饮酒与随意性行为关系及经历（CSREs）之间的关联进行了荟萃分析综述。具体而言，该荟萃分析聚焦于针对社区和大学样本的非实验性研究。荟萃分析的结果涵盖了29项相关研究（34个效应量），表明饮酒与参与CSREs显著相关，r = 0.34，95%置信区间[0.29 - 0.38]，但这种关联存在相当大的变异性。随后的分析考察了可能解释这种异质性的调节因素。结果显示，年龄和评估方法对饮酒对CSRE参与度的影响有显著调节作用，即新兴成年人（18 - 24岁）的关联比年长者更强，且在线评估产生的效应量比纸笔评估更大。这些结果对未来研究和干预发展具有启示意义。特别是，这项荟萃分析强调了开展研究的必要性，这些研究应采用一致的CSRE参与度测量方法，包括多样化的方法，并扩大抽样范围。
