Mindfulness-based strategies have received empirical support for improving coping with stress and reducing alcohol use. The present study presents a moderated mediation model to explain how mindfulness might promote healthier drinking patterns. This model posits that mindfulness reduces perceived stress, leading to less alcohol use, and also weakens the linkage between stress and alcohol use. African American smokers ( = 399, 51% female, = 42) completed measures of dispositional mindfulness, perceived stress, quantity of alcohol use, frequency of binge drinking, and alcohol use disorder symptoms. Participants with higher levels of dispositional mindfulness reported less psychosocial stress and lower alcohol use on all measures. Furthermore, mindfulness moderated the relationship between perceived stress and quantity of alcohol consumption. Specifically, higher perceived stress was associated with increased alcohol use among participants low, but not high, in mindfulness. Mindfulness may be one strategy to reduce perceived stress and associated alcohol use among African American smokers.
基于正念的策略在改善应对压力和减少酒精使用方面已获得实证支持。本研究提出了一个有调节的中介模型，以解释正念如何促进更健康的饮酒模式。该模型假定，正念可减轻感知到的压力，从而减少酒精使用，并且还会削弱压力与酒精使用之间的联系。非裔美国吸烟者（n = 399，51%为女性，年龄 = 42岁）完成了关于特质正念、感知压力、酒精使用量、暴饮频率和酒精使用障碍症状的测量。特质正念水平较高的参与者在所有测量指标上报告的心理社会压力较小且酒精使用量较低。此外，正念调节了感知压力与酒精消费量之间的关系。具体而言，在正念水平低而非高的参与者中，较高的感知压力与酒精使用增加有关。正念可能是减少非裔美国吸烟者感知到的压力及相关酒精使用的一种策略。
