Behavioral and psychosocial correlates of drinking and driving were examined in two independent samples of licensed drivers aged 18 to 25 selected from the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles database. Mail questionnaires were returned by 2,300 young adults (1,196 in Sample 1; 1,104 in Sample 2). Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relation of a latent-variable measure of drinking-driving to latent-variable measures of other driving behaviors, problem behaviors and psychosocial variables. Drinking-driving, drug-driving and risky driving were found to comprise a more general, second-order factor of problem driving behavior. Drinking-driving was also found to constitute one aspect of a larger second-order latent variable that included problem drinking, marijuana use, other illicit drug use and delinquent-type behavior. In combination, the variables of problem driving, other problem behaviors, psychosocial unconventionality, risk-taking and hostility/aggression accounted for 57% of the variance in young adult drinking-driving. All of these Sample 1 findings were buttressed by confirmatory analyses in the independent Sample 2 data. The conclusion can be drawn that drinking-driving is part of a more general lifestyle involving behavior and psychosocial unconventionality.
在从科罗拉多机动车管理部门数据库中选取的两个独立样本（年龄在18至25岁之间的持照驾驶员）中，对酒后驾车的行为和社会心理相关因素进行了研究。2300名年轻人（样本1中有1196人；样本2中有1104人）回复了邮寄问卷。采用结构方程模型来检验酒后驾车的潜在变量测量值与其他驾驶行为、问题行为和社会心理变量的潜在变量测量值之间的关系。研究发现，酒后驾车、毒驾和危险驾驶构成了问题驾驶行为这一更为宽泛的二阶因素。还发现酒后驾车是一个更大的二阶潜在变量的一个方面，该潜在变量包括问题饮酒、吸食大麻、其他非法药物使用以及违法犯罪类行为。综合来看，问题驾驶、其他问题行为、社会心理非传统性、冒险行为以及敌意/攻击性这些变量解释了年轻人酒后驾车差异的57%。在独立的样本2数据中进行的验证性分析支持了样本1的所有这些研究结果。可以得出这样的结论：酒后驾车是涉及行为和社会心理非传统性的更为普遍的生活方式的一部分。
