Research suggests college students rate some alcohol-related consequences less negatively than others, yet it is unclear how or when these differences in perception develop. The current study compared college students' subjective evaluations of alcohol-related consequences that they had and had not experienced in order to test the hypothesis that students become desensitized to the consequences they experience.
Participants were 269 undergraduate students enrolled at a large, public, Midwestern university.
Participants completed measures of drinking behaviors, consequences experienced, and subjective evaluations of consequences via an online survey.
Participants rated the consequences they had personally experienced more positively than those they had not experienced. Similarly, individuals who reported experiencing consequences rated them as significantly more positive than those who had not experienced the same consequences.
Experience with consequences is associated with more positive evaluations of those consequences. Therefore, it may be important to consider individuals' experiences with, and evaluations of, alcohol-related consequences in college student drinking interventions.
研究表明，大学生对某些与酒精相关后果的负面评价低于其他后果，但尚不清楚这些认知差异是如何形成以及何时形成的。本研究比较了大学生对他们经历过和未经历过的与酒精相关后果的主观评价，以检验学生对他们所经历的后果变得不敏感这一假设。
参与者为269名就读于一所大型公立中西部大学的本科生。
参与者通过在线调查完成饮酒行为、经历的后果以及后果主观评价的测量。
参与者对他们个人经历过的后果的评价比对未经历过的后果更为积极。同样，报告经历过某些后果的个体对这些后果的评价明显比未经历过相同后果的个体更为积极。
对后果的经历与对这些后果更积极的评价相关。因此，在大学生饮酒干预中考虑个体对与酒精相关后果的经历和评价可能很重要。
