The present study explored the association of acculturative stress with alcohol consumption and problems, and whether these associations varied by collectivistic coping style in a predominantly Latino college sample.
Participants were 192 (58.9% female; = 23.4 years, = 6.6; 89.6% Hispanic or Latino) undergraduate students from the University of Texas at El Paso that participated in a survey that assessed their acculturative stress, collectivistic coping styles, alcohol use, and associated problems. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine the potential moderating effect of collectivistic coping styles on the relationship between acculturative stress and drinking variables.
Hierarchical regression analyses revealed a significant two-way interaction between acculturative stress and seeking social support in predicting monthly drinking frequency, heavy drinking frequency, peak number of drinks, and alcohol problems. They also revealed a significant two-way interaction between acculturative stress and forbearance in predicting heavy drinking frequency and peak number of drinks. The associations between acculturative stress and each of the outcomes were positive at low levels of collectivistic coping style. However, these relationships became increasingly negative as the collectivistic coping style increased.
The present study extends the literature on collectivistic coping by exploring the protective effects of collectivistic coping styles against drinking among Latino college students. Based on current findings, it appears that among Latino students, seeking social support may serve as a protective factor against the effects of acculturative stress on alcohol use and problems and that forbearance may serve as a protective factor against the effects of acculturative stress on alcohol use.

本研究探讨了文化适应压力与饮酒及相关问题之间的关联，以及在以拉丁裔为主的大学生样本中，这些关联是否因集体主义应对方式而有所不同。
研究对象为来自德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校的192名本科生（58.9%为女性；平均年龄 = 23.4岁，标准差 = 6.6；89.6%为西班牙裔或拉丁裔），他们参与了一项调查，该调查评估了他们的文化适应压力、集体主义应对方式、饮酒情况及相关问题。采用分层回归分析来确定集体主义应对方式对文化适应压力与饮酒变量之间关系的潜在调节作用。
分层回归分析显示，在预测每月饮酒频率、重度饮酒频率、饮酒峰值数量和酒精相关问题时，文化适应压力与寻求社会支持之间存在显著的双向交互作用。分析还显示，在预测重度饮酒频率和饮酒峰值数量时，文化适应压力与忍耐之间存在显著的双向交互作用。在集体主义应对方式水平较低时，文化适应压力与各项结果之间的关联均为正向。然而，随着集体主义应对方式的增加，这些关系变得越来越负向。
本研究通过探索集体主义应对方式对拉丁裔大学生饮酒的保护作用，扩展了关于集体主义应对的文献。基于当前研究结果，在拉丁裔学生中，寻求社会支持可能是抵御文化适应压力对饮酒及相关问题影响的保护因素，而忍耐可能是抵御文化适应压力对饮酒影响的保护因素。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》(c) 2025美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
