This study examined race and gender differences in use of specific types of protective behavioral strategies (PBS) and the moderating effects of race and gender on the relationship between PBS use and alcohol problems, controlling for alcohol use, among a large sample of Asian, Black, and White college drinkers. There were significant racial and gender differences in the types of PBS used. Moderation analyses indicated that PBS were more protective for women than men against experiencing alcohol-related problems. There were no significant race effects or race-by-gender interaction effects on alcohol problems. Implementing PBS may be beneficial for all college students.
本研究在大量亚洲、黑人和白人大学生饮酒者样本中,考察了特定类型的保护性行为策略(PBS)使用方面的种族和性别差异,以及种族和性别对PBS使用与酒精问题之间关系的调节作用,并对酒精使用进行了控制。在使用的PBS类型上存在显著的种族和性别差异。调节分析表明,PBS对女性预防与酒精相关问题的保护作用比男性更强。在酒精问题上不存在显著的种族效应或种族与性别的交互效应。实施PBS可能对所有大学生都有益。
