Alcohol protective behavioral strategies (PBS) are cognitive-behavioral strategies used before, during, and/or after drinking to reduce alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Self-determination theory (SDT) provides a potentially useful framework to understand motivations for responsible drinking, which is operationalized in the present study as PBS use. In the present study, we examined the relation of motivations for responsible drinking, as assessed by the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire (TSRQ), with other SDT constructs (psychological need satisfaction and dispositional autonomy) and PBS use. A sample of 507 college students who reported consuming alcohol at least once in the past 3 months were recruited from a random sample of students enrolled at a Hispanic serving institution to complete an online survey. Consistent with SDT and previous studies of the TSRQ, we found support for a 4-factor structure of the TSRQ. The TSRQ demonstrated measurement invariance across several sociodemographic subgroups within the sample (e.g., biological sex, age, year in school), supporting the use of the TSRQ across these subgroups. Further, consistent with SDT-based hypotheses, greater psychological need satisfaction and dispositional autonomy were related to more self-determined motivations for responsible drinking. Also consistent with SDT, more self-determined motivations for responsible drinking were related to more frequent PBS use. The present findings further support the utility of the TSRQ for assessing motivations for responsible drinking and support SDT as a framework for understanding responsible drinking. Future directions for research applying SDT to understand and promote responsible drinking among college students are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
酒精保护性行为策略 (PBS) 是在饮酒前、饮酒中和/或饮酒后使用的认知行为策略，用于减少饮酒和与饮酒相关的问题。自我决定理论 (SDT) 为理解负责任饮酒的动机提供了一个潜在有用的框架，在本研究中，负责任饮酒的动机被操作化为 PBS 的使用。在本研究中，我们考察了负责任饮酒的动机与其他 SDT 结构（心理需求满足和倾向自主性）和 PBS 使用之间的关系，这些动机是通过治疗自我调节问卷 (TSRQ) 来评估的。从一所服务于西班牙裔的机构的随机学生样本中招募了 507 名至少在过去 3 个月内有饮酒经历的大学生，让他们完成了一项在线调查。与 SDT 和 TSRQ 的先前研究一致，我们发现支持 TSRQ 的 4 因素结构。TSRQ 在样本中的几个社会人口统计学亚组（例如，生物性别、年龄、在校年级）中表现出测量不变性，支持在这些亚组中使用 TSRQ。此外，与基于 SDT 的假设一致，更大的心理需求满足和倾向自主性与更自主的负责任饮酒动机相关。同样与 SDT 一致，更自主的负责任饮酒动机与更频繁的 PBS 使用相关。本研究结果进一步支持 TSRQ 用于评估负责任饮酒的动机，并支持 SDT 作为理解负责任饮酒的框架。讨论了将 SDT 应用于理解和促进大学生负责任饮酒的未来研究方向。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
