Abstract

The current study tested a mediation model of psychological functioning (i.e., perceived stressors, psychological distress, and self-regulation) and risky drinking through a drinking to cope pathway comparing college and noncollege young adults. Participants were 623 young adult drinkers (M age = 21.46) who completed an online survey. Multigroup analyses examined the proposed mediation model for college students and nonstudents. For nonstudents, the indirect effects of psychological distress to alcohol use outcomes (i.e., alcohol quantity, binge drinking frequency, and alcohol-related problems) via coping motives was significant. Further, coping motives significantly mediated the positive effects of self-regulation on alcohol quantity, binge drinking frequency, and alcohol-related problems. For students, greater psychological distress was associated with greater coping motives, which in turn, related to greater alcohol-related problems. Coping motives significantly mediated the positive effect of self-regulation on binge drinking frequency. Findings highlight the different pathways that may result in risky drinking and alcohol problems based on young adult's educational attainment. These results have important clinical implications, particularly for those who have not attended college.

大学生和非大学生青年通过应对动机进行风险饮酒的不同途径。

本研究通过比较大学生和非大学生青年的饮酒应对途径，检验了心理功能（即感知到的压力源、心理困扰和自我调节）与风险饮酒的中介模型。623名青年饮酒者（平均年龄为21.46岁）完成了在线调查。多组分析检验了针对大学生和非大学生提出的中介模型。对于非学生而言，心理困扰通过应对动机对酒精使用结果（即酒精量、暴饮暴食频率和酒精相关问题）的间接影响是显著的。此外，应对动机对自我调节对饮酒量、暴饮暴食频率和酒精相关问题的积极影响具有明显的中介作用。对于学生来说，心理压力越大，应对动机越强，反过来，应对动机越强，酒精相关问题越多。应对动机在很大程度上调节了自我调节对暴饮频率的积极影响。研究结果凸显了不同教育程度的青少年可能会通过不同途径导致危险饮酒和酒精问题。这些结果具有重要的临床意义，尤其是对那些没有上过大学的人。

期刊介绍： Since being founded in 1993, Addiction Research and Theory has been the leading outlet for research and theoretical contributions that view addictive behaviour as arising from psychological processes within the individual and the social context in which the behaviour takes place as much as from the biological effects of the psychoactive substance or activity involved. This cross-disciplinary journal examines addictive behaviours from a variety of perspectives and methods of inquiry. Disciplines represented in the journal include Anthropology, Economics, Epidemiology, Medicine, Sociology, Psychology and History, but high quality contributions from other relevant areas will also be considered.
