Alcohol use in college populations is highly prevalent. College students who consume alcohol can experience a variety of different alcohol-related consequences. Drinking motives, or reasons that individuals choose to consume alcohol, are proximal factors that affect alcohol use. Previous research has generally found that internal drinking motives (i.e., coping and enhancement motives) are particularly relevant in predicting alcohol-related consequences. However, most of this research has examined drinking motives as traits, rather than state (i.e., daily) motives. The present study sought to examine enhancement and coping motives as both distinct and combined predictors of alcohol-related consequences at the daily level, directly and via alcohol consumption. Multilevel analyses of a 30-day retrospective report of drinking behaviors showed that within-person enhancement motives increased alcohol-related consequences via increased alcohol use. In contrast, coping motives were directly associated with alcohol-related consequences at the between-person level. Implications of the findings are that clinicians should assess and discuss daily motives for alcohol use with patients presenting with problems related to alcohol use, as well as typical motives.

大学生群体中的酒精使用非常普遍。饮酒的大学生可能会经历各种不同的与酒精相关的后果。饮酒动机，即个人选择饮酒的原因，是影响饮酒行为的近端因素。先前的研究通常发现，内部饮酒动机（即应对和增强动机）在预测与酒精相关的后果方面特别相关。然而，大多数此类研究都是将饮酒动机作为特质（即日常动机）进行检验，而非状态（即每日）动机。本研究旨在检验增强和应对动机作为日常层面上酒精相关后果的独立和综合预测因素，直接通过饮酒以及通过饮酒来预测。对 30 天回溯饮酒行为的多层次分析表明，个体内增强动机通过增加饮酒量而增加了与酒精相关的后果。相比之下，应对动机在个体间水平上与与酒精相关的后果直接相关。这些发现表明，临床医生在评估和讨论与饮酒相关的问题以及与酒精相关的问题时，应评估和讨论患者的日常饮酒动机，以及典型的动机。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
