Although motivations to use alcohol have been shown to predict alcohol use and alcohol-related problems, little is known about how drinking motives develop. This study identified antecedents in adolescence of social and coping motives for drinking in early adulthood. Data came from a longitudinal study of youths in the eastern U.S. (N = 451) followed from secondary school into early adulthood (52.4% female; Mage = 23.01; SD = 1.03). In a structural equation analysis, frequency of drunkenness and peer alcohol use positively predicted young adult social motives, whereas only frequency of drunkenness predicted coping motives. These findings indicate that alcohol use behaviors and social relationships in adolescence may contribute to the development of adult drinking motives.
尽管已经证实饮酒动机可以预测饮酒行为和与饮酒相关的问题，但对于饮酒动机的发展过程却知之甚少。本研究旨在确定青少年时期的哪些因素会导致成年早期出现社交和应对性饮酒动机。数据来自美国东部一项青少年纵向研究（女性占 52.4%；平均年龄为 23.01 岁，标准差为 1.03 岁），研究对象从中学一直追踪到成年早期。在结构方程分析中，醉酒频率和同伴饮酒均正向预测了成年早期的社交动机，而只有醉酒频率预测了应对性动机。这些发现表明，青少年时期的饮酒行为和社交关系可能会影响成年后饮酒动机的发展。
