The association between alcohol use and sensation seeking is well known. Less is known about whether longitudinal changes in alcohol use are associated with changes in sensation seeking and in which direction influence might flow. 5125 men aged 20.0 years old at baseline and 25.4 years old at follow-up responded to the Brief Sensation Seeking Questionnaire, which measures four subscales of experience seeking, boredom susceptibility, thrill- and adventure-seeking, and disinhibition. Alcohol use was measured using volume (drinks per week) and binge drinking (about 60 g or more per occasion). Associations were calculated using cross-lagged panel models and two-wave latent change score models. Correlations between the latent change scores for alcohol use and the sensation-seeking subscales were all positive, being largest for disinhibition (r > 0.3) and much smaller (r ~ 0.1) for the others. Disinhibition was the dominant effect over the entire sensation-seeking scale. Cross-lagged paths were (except for thrill- and adventure-seeking) bidirectional and mostly higher from alcohol use to sensation seeking (e.g., path = 0.136, and path = 0.072). Again, effects were highest for disinhibition. Given the bidirectional links between sensation seeking and alcohol use, preventive efforts aiming to achieve stable positive changes in alcohol use and personality should target both simultaneously and focus on disinhibition.
饮酒与寻求刺激之间的关联是众所周知的。但对于饮酒行为的纵向变化是否与寻求刺激的变化有关,以及影响的方向如何,人们知之甚少。5125 名男性在基线时年龄为 20.0 岁,随访时年龄为 25.4 岁,他们回答了简短的感觉寻求问卷,该问卷测量了经验寻求、无聊易感性、刺激和冒险寻求以及抑制解除四个分量表。使用饮酒量(每周饮酒量)和狂饮(每次约 60 克或更多)来衡量饮酒量。使用交叉滞后面板模型和两波潜在变化分数模型计算关联。饮酒和感觉寻求分量表之间的潜在变化分数之间的相关性均为正,抑制解除的相关性最大(r > 0.3),其他分量表的相关性较小(r ~ 0.1)。抑制解除是整个感觉寻求量表的主要影响因素。交叉滞后路径(除刺激和冒险寻求外)是双向的,并且大多数从饮酒到感觉寻求的路径更高(例如,路径= 0.136,路径= 0.072)。同样,抑制解除的影响最大。鉴于感觉寻求和饮酒之间存在双向联系,旨在实现饮酒和个性稳定积极变化的预防措施应该同时针对两者,并重点关注抑制解除。
