Nowadays, contemporary society has placed growing emphasis on the alcohol drinking behavior of college students.
This study employed a cross-sectional design to assess the relationship between upward social comparison (USC) on network and college students drinking behavior, while exploring the mediation impact of relative deprivation (RD) and anxiety. A total of 329 college students (Mage = 21.37 years old; 16.11% women) were enrolled to complete a set of questionnaires evaluating USC on network, RD, anxiety and alcohol dependence.
The results showed that (1) USC on network, RD, anxiety and alcohol dependence were significantly, positively correlated in pairs, and (2) RD and anxiety exhibited a significant chain mediating role between USC on network and alcohol dependence, and USC on network positively predicted alcohol dependence via the mediating effect of anxiety.
This study reveals that USC on network positively predicts alcohol dependence via the mediating effect of anxiety, and that RD and anxiety play a chain-mediating role between USC on network and alcohol dependence.
如今，当代社会越来越重视大学生的饮酒行为。
本研究采用横断面设计，评估网络上的向上社会比较（USC）与大学生饮酒行为之间的关系，同时探讨相对剥夺（RD）和焦虑的中介作用。共招募了329名大学生（年龄中位数=21.37岁；16.11%为女性），让他们完成一组问卷，评估网络上的USC、RD、焦虑和酒精依赖情况。
结果显示：（1）网络上的USC、RD、焦虑和酒精依赖两两之间均呈显著正相关；（2）RD和焦虑在网络上的USC与酒精依赖之间发挥显著的链式中介作用，且网络上的USC通过焦虑的中介效应正向预测酒精依赖。
本研究表明，网络上的USC通过焦虑的中介效应正向预测酒精依赖，且RD和焦虑在网络上的USC与酒精依赖之间起链式中介作用。
