Drinking alcohol during the exams can affect academic performance and future career options, but is rarely investigated. Drinking motives, sociodemographics and personality characteristics are investigated in nonabstainers and weekly drinkers during the exams.
7,181 Belgian university students who anonymously responded to an email invitation to an online survey.
Logistic regressions and mixed design analysis of variance on cross-sectional data.
One-third of the students continued drinking during the exams, with 40% drinking weekly. Nonabstainers were mainly men, elder, internally motivated when drinking, and housed with parents or independently. Weekly drinkers were similar, except mainly housed in student apartments or independently. Personality characteristics were nonsignificant. All drinking motives were less pronounced during the exams, with smaller differences for internal motives.
Mainly linked to internal drinking motives, drinking during the exams in higher education is underestimated. The characteristics and motives of students doing so can be used in future interventions.
考试期间饮酒会影响学业成绩和未来职业选择，但很少有人对此进行调查。本研究对不戒酒者和每周饮酒者在考试期间的饮酒动机、社会人口统计学特征和人格特征进行了调查。
7181名比利时大学生，他们对一封电子邮件邀请做出匿名回复，参与了一项在线调查。
对横断面数据进行逻辑回归和混合设计方差分析。
三分之一的学生在考试期间继续饮酒，其中40%每周饮酒。不戒酒者主要是男性、年龄较大、饮酒时内在动机较强，与父母同住或独立居住。每周饮酒者情况类似，只是主要居住在学生公寓或独立居住。人格特征无显著差异。所有饮酒动机在考试期间都不那么明显，内在动机的差异较小。
高等教育中考试期间的饮酒现象主要与内在饮酒动机有关，且被低估。这样做的学生的特征和动机可用于未来的干预措施。
