Data from a prospective, longitudinal study of males and females tested at age 12, 15 and 18 years are used to study the relationship between alcohol use and aggression. Prevalence rates for alcohol use are similar for males and females. However, prevalence rates for aggressive behavior and alcohol-related aggression among females are lower than those for males and too low to permit meaningful analysis. Two series of nested structural equation models examine the interrelationships between alcohol use and aggressive behavior over time for all males in the sample and for male alcohol users only. The findings indicate that early aggressive behavior leads to increases in alcohol use and alcohol-related aggression, but that levels of alcohol use are not significantly related to later aggressive behavior. Thus, the data suggest that alcohol-related aggression is engaged in by aggressive people who drink. These data lend support to other research that indicates that early aggressive and antisocial behavior is predictive of later alcohol-related problems.
一项针对12岁、15岁和18岁男性和女性的前瞻性纵向研究数据被用于研究饮酒与攻击行为之间的关系。男性和女性的饮酒患病率相似。然而,女性中攻击行为和与酒精相关的攻击行为的患病率低于男性,且过低以至于无法进行有意义的分析。两组嵌套结构方程模型研究了样本中所有男性以及仅男性饮酒者随着时间推移饮酒与攻击行为之间的相互关系。研究结果表明,早期的攻击行为会导致饮酒量增加以及与酒精相关的攻击行为增加,但饮酒量与后期的攻击行为并无显著关联。因此,数据表明与酒精相关的攻击行为是由饮酒的攻击性人群实施的。这些数据支持了其他研究,这些研究表明早期的攻击和反社会行为可预测后期与酒精相关的问题。
