Mindfulness is a multi-faceted construct, and research suggests that certain components (e.g., Acting with Awareness, Nonjudging) are associated with less problematic alcohol use. Recent research has examined whether specific drinking motives mediate the relationship between facets of mindfulness and alcohol use. The current study sought to extend this research by examining whether certain drinking motives would mediate the relationship between facets of mindfulness and problematic alcohol use in a sample of 207 college students classified as engaging in problematic drinking. Participants completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised (DMQ-R), and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Results indicated that lower levels of Coping motives significantly mediated the relationship between greater Acting with Awareness and lower AUDIT score and between greater Nonjudging and lower AUDIT score. Lower levels of Conformity motives significantly mediated the relationship between greater Acting with Awareness and lower AUDIT score. These findings offer insight into specific mechanisms through which mindfulness is linked to less problematic drinking, and also highlight associations among mindfulness, drinking motives, and alcohol use among a sample of problematic college student drinkers. Future research should determine whether interventions that emphasize Acting with Awareness and Nonjudging facets of mindfulness and/or target coping and conformity motives could be effective for reducing problematic drinking in college students.
正念是一个多方面的概念，研究表明某些组成部分（如，有意识行动、不评判）与较少的酒精使用问题有关。最近的研究探讨了特定的饮酒动机是否介导了正念各方面与酒精使用之间的关系。本研究试图通过考察在207名被归类为有饮酒问题的大学生样本中，某些饮酒动机是否会介导正念各方面与酒精使用问题之间的关系来扩展这一研究。参与者完成了五因素正念问卷（FFMQ）、修订后的饮酒动机问卷（DMQ-R）和酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）。结果表明，较低水平的应对动机显著介导了较高的有意识行动与较低的AUDIT得分之间的关系，以及较高的不评判与较低的AUDIT得分之间的关系。较低水平的从众动机显著介导了较高的有意识行动与较低的AUDIT得分之间的关系。这些发现为正念与较少饮酒问题相关的具体机制提供了见解，也突出了有饮酒问题的大学生样本中正念、饮酒动机和酒精使用之间的关联。未来的研究应该确定强调正念的有意识行动和不评判方面和/或针对应对和从众动机的干预措施是否能有效减少大学生的饮酒问题。
