Drinking among college-aged individuals can be problematic. The motivational model of use, which examines various cognitive factors, personal characteristics, and environmental factors, can provide a greater understanding of what contributes toward the decision to drink in these young adults.
The current study evaluates proposed paths from risk factors for alcohol use, motives for drinking, and subsequent outcomes of alcohol use, drawing from seminal research on the motivational model and drinking motives.
This model was tested in a sample of 303 undergraduate drinkers (77.9% female, mean age = 19.8 years), and evaluated the potential impact of gender and pattern of use.
Results indicate that expectancies, maladaptive coping, and negative affect personality styles are associated with coping motives for drinking, and that coping motives are significantly related to problems associated with use. These results are similar for males and females, and among heavy and lighter drinkers.
Findings support the role of the coping motive in problematic outcomes associated with drinking and suggest that expectancies, negative affect personality styles, maladaptive coping, and drinking motives are potential targets of prevention and intervention.
大学生饮酒可能会产生问题。使用动机模型研究了各种认知因素、个人特征和环境因素，有助于更深入地了解这些年轻人饮酒决策的影响因素。
本研究借鉴了关于动机模型和饮酒动机的开创性研究，评估了饮酒风险因素、饮酒动机以及饮酒后续结果之间的假设路径。
该模型在303名本科饮酒者样本中进行了测试（77.9%为女性，平均年龄=19.8岁），并评估了性别和饮酒模式的潜在影响。
结果表明，预期、适应不良的应对方式和消极情绪人格类型与饮酒的应对动机相关，且应对动机与饮酒相关问题显著相关。男性和女性、重度饮酒者和轻度饮酒者的结果相似。
研究结果支持应对动机在饮酒相关问题结果中的作用，并表明预期、消极情绪人格类型、适应不良的应对方式和饮酒动机是预防和干预的潜在目标。
