This study used a minority stress framework to investigate the relationships between multiple stressors (e.g., general life stress, race related stress, and acculturative stress) and high-risk drinking behaviors in a sample of second-generation Black emerging adult college students across the United States.
Participants (n = 148) were recruited from U.S. colleges and universities as part of a large, multiwave cross-sectional study.
Findings from this study mirrored those in the extant literature: the positive relationship between race-related stress and high-risk drinking behaviors found in other marginalized groups. However, when all stressors were entered into the model, acculturative stress accounted for significant variance in high-risk drinking behaviors above and beyond general life and race-related stressors in second generation Black emerging adult college students.
Findings underscore the need to better understand the influence of acculturative stress on high-risk drinking behaviors among second-generation Black emerging adult college students: an understudied population in both the acculturation and alcohol use literatures. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
本研究采用少数族裔应激框架,调查了多种应激源(如一般生活压力、与种族相关的压力和文化适应压力)与美国第二代黑人成年大学生高危饮酒行为之间的关系。
参与者(n=148)是作为一项大型多波横断面研究的一部分,从美国的学院和大学招募的。
本研究的结果与现有文献中的结果相似:与其他边缘化群体一样,种族相关压力与高危饮酒行为之间存在正相关关系。然而,当所有应激源都被纳入模型时,文化适应应激在第二代黑人成年大学生的高危饮酒行为中,除了一般生活和与种族相关的应激源之外,还解释了显著的差异。
这些发现强调了需要更好地理解文化适应应激对第二代黑人成年大学生高危饮酒行为的影响:这是在文化适应和酒精使用文献中都研究不足的群体。讨论了对未来研究和临床实践的影响。
