Psychosocial characteristics that identified first-year medical students who drank more or less alcohol than their peers were examined. Subjects were 116 freshman medical students (96% of one class) who completed questionnaires about alcohol use, mood, personality, social relationships, and parental alcohol abuse on the first day of school, and 106 (88% of the class) who responded to the same questionnaires in April of the first year. Heavier drinking students (i.e., the upper 25% of the sample) were more likely to be male and single, to have drunk heavily prior to medical school, to come from larger social networks which include fewer relatives, and to demonstrate a lower interpersonal orientation. Mood, academic performance, and parental alcohol abuse were not associated with drinking level. The heaviest drinkers in this sample appear to be precisely those individuals who are most impervious to peer or other social influences.
研究人员调查了能鉴别出饮酒量高于或低于同龄人水平的一年级医学生的心理社会特征。研究对象为116名大一医学生（占一个班级的96%），他们在入学第一天完成了关于饮酒情况、情绪、性格、社会关系以及父母酗酒情况的问卷调查；另有106名学生（占班级的88%）在第一年4月时对相同问卷做出了回应。饮酒量较大的学生（即样本中排名前25%的学生）更有可能是男性且单身，在进入医学院之前饮酒量就很大，来自包含亲属较少的更大社交网络，且表现出较低的人际取向。情绪、学业成绩和父母酗酒情况与饮酒水平无关。该样本中饮酒量最大的学生似乎恰恰是那些最不受同龄人或其他社会影响的人。
