Personality characteristics such as extraversion, low agreeableness and low conscientiousness are relevant for alcohol use during adolescence. In addition, having friends who use alcohol is one of the strongest predictors of adolescent alcohol consumption and its negative outcomes. The selection model posits that friends display similar alcohol consumption when their friendships are formed on the basis of common characteristics as, among others, personality. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the mediation role of peers in the association between the five-factor model of personality and adolescent alcohol use in two cultures. One hundred and twenty Scottish and 221 Spanish respondents, all aged 12-15 years, answered the Alcohol Intake Scale (AIS). Adolescents were asked about the alcohol used at the weekend and also about the alcohol consumed by their friends. Scottish adolescents' personality was measured by the NEO Personality Inventory-3 (NEO-PI-3). The Junior Spanish version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (JS NEO) was used to assess personality in the Spanish sample. Low agreeableness and low conscientiousness correlated with own alcohol quantity in both countries. We performed an independent structural equation modeling for each country. Extraversion (β = .205, p < .05) and low agreeableness (β = -.196, p < .01) for Scottish adolescents, and low conscientiousness (β = -.175, p < .05) for Spanish youths, predicted alcohol use through peer alcohol consumption at weekends. These findings support the relevance of personality traits and peer affiliation in relation to alcohol consumption in adolescence.
外向性、宜人性低和尽责性低等人格特征与青少年饮酒有关。此外，有饮酒的朋友是青少年饮酒及其负面后果的最强预测因素之一。选择模型认为，当朋友关系基于共同特征（如人格等）形成时，他们的饮酒行为会相似。因此，本研究的目的是考察在两种文化中，同伴在人格五因素模型与青少年饮酒之间的关联中所起的中介作用。120名苏格兰和221名西班牙受访者，年龄均在12 - 15岁，回答了酒精摄入量量表（AIS）。青少年被问及周末饮用的酒精饮料以及他们朋友饮用的酒精饮料。苏格兰青少年的人格由NEO人格量表-3（NEO-PI-3）测量。西班牙样本的人格通过修订后的NEO人格量表青少年版（JS NEO）进行评估。在两个国家中，宜人性低和尽责性低都与自身饮酒量相关。我们对每个国家分别进行了独立的结构方程建模。对于苏格兰青少年，外向性（β = 0.205，p < 0.05）和宜人性低（β = -0.196，p < 0.01），以及对于西班牙青少年，尽责性低（β = -0.175，p < 0.05），通过同伴周末饮酒量来预测饮酒行为。这些发现支持了人格特质和同伴关系与青少年饮酒相关性的观点。
