This study aimed to (1) examine respective associations of acculturation orientations (e.g., U.S. orientation and Hispanic orientation) and domains (e.g., social groundedness and role repertoire) of bicultural self-efficacy, the perceived confidence to function effectively within the receiving culture and the heritage culture, with alcohol use severity among Hispanic emerging adults. This study also aimed to (2) examine potential moderating factors of respective associations among acculturation orientations and bicultural self-efficacy with alcohol use severity.
200 Hispanic emerging adults from Arizona (n = 99) and Florida (n = 101) completed a cross-sectional survey. Inclusion criteria were being ages 18-25, self-identify as Hispanic or Latina/o, and currently living in Maricopa County or Miami-Dade County. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression and moderation analyses.
Findings indicate that neither of the acculturation orientations nor role repertoire had main effects with alcohol use severity. However, higher social groundedness was associated with lower alcohol use severity. Moderation analyses indicate that the interaction between the U.S. orientation and study site and the interaction between the Hispanic orientation and social groundedness were statistically significant in relation to alcohol use severity.
Considering that the U.S. orientation was associated with alcohol use severity only in Arizona highlights the need for multisite studies on acculturation. Our findings demonstrate that other sociocultural processes such as acculturation can impact bicultural self-efficacy; and that the association between bicultural self-efficacy and alcohol merits further investigation. However, more thorough assessments of bicultural self-efficacy are needed to better understand its effects on alcohol.
本研究旨在（1）考察文化适应取向（如美国取向和西班牙裔取向）以及双文化自我效能感的各个领域（如社会根基和角色储备，即在接受文化和传统文化中有效发挥作用的感知信心）与西班牙裔青少年酒精使用严重程度之间的各自关联。本研究还旨在（2）考察文化适应取向与双文化自我效能感和酒精使用严重程度之间各自关联的潜在调节因素。
来自亚利桑那州（n = 99）和佛罗里达州（n = 101）的200名西班牙裔青少年完成了一项横断面调查。纳入标准为年龄在18 - 25岁之间，自我认同为西班牙裔或拉丁裔，且目前居住在马里科帕县或迈阿密 - 戴德县。数据采用分层多元回归和调节分析进行分析。
研究结果表明，文化适应取向和角色储备均对酒精使用严重程度没有主效应。然而，较高的社会根基与较低的酒精使用严重程度相关。调节分析表明，美国取向与研究地点之间的交互作用以及西班牙裔取向与社会根基之间的交互作用在酒精使用严重程度方面具有统计学意义。
鉴于美国取向仅在亚利桑那州与酒精使用严重程度相关，这凸显了对文化适应进行多地点研究的必要性。我们的研究结果表明，文化适应等其他社会文化过程会影响双文化自我效能感；双文化自我效能感与酒精之间的关联值得进一步研究。然而，需要对双文化自我效能感进行更全面的评估，以更好地理解其对酒精的影响。
