Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to 1) explore the relationship among the following variables: thoughts and feelings associated with historical loss, levels of acculturation, alcohol expectancies, and alcohol use among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people, as well as to 2) explore predictive relationships among historical loss thoughts and feelings, alcohol expectancies, and alcohol use for AI/AN people within this sample. A convenience (community, non-clinical) sample of 188 AI/AN people completed an online survey, including questions related to alcohol use, alcohol expectancies, thoughts and feelings of historical loss, and acculturation experiences. Results indicated that gender and feelings of historical loss were the significant individual predictors of alcohol use and alcohol expectancies in a sample of AI/AN people. In addition, specific types of alcohol expectancies, when considered together, explained 24% of the variance in alcohol use experiences. Gender differences were noted in that AI/AN men were more likely than AI/AN women to engage in hazardous drinking and expected more feelings of social and physical pleasure as well as power and aggression as a result of drinking alcohol. Areas for further research were highlighted, with an emphasis on further research exploring the correlates and predictors of alcohol use and alcohol expectancies for community, non-clinical samples of AI/AN people, to further understand alcohol use motivation among AI/AN people.

美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民中的历史损失、文化适应和酒精预期与酒精使用的关系》（The Relationships of Historical Loss, Acculturation, and Alohol Expectancies with Alohol Use Among American Indian and Alaska Native People.

本研究的主要目的是：1）探讨以下变量之间的关系：与历史损失相关的想法和感受、文化适应程度、酒精预期以及美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民（AI/AN）中的酒精使用情况；2）探讨样本中美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的历史损失想法和感受、酒精预期以及酒精使用情况之间的预测关系。一个由 188 名美国印第安人（AI/AN）组成的方便（社区、非临床）样本完成了一项在线调查，其中包括与酒精使用、酒精预期、对历史性损失的想法和感受以及文化适应经历相关的问题。结果表明，性别和历史失落感是亚裔美国人/印第安人酒精使用和酒精预期的重要个体预测因素。此外，如果将特定类型的酒精预期结合起来考虑，可以解释 24% 的酒精使用经历差异。性别差异表现在，美国原住民/印第安人男性比美国原住民/印第安人女性更有可能进行危险饮酒，并期望饮酒能带来更多的社交和身体愉悦感以及权力和攻击性。研究强调了进一步研究的领域，重点是进一步研究探索社区非临床样本中美国印第安人/美洲印第安人饮酒和酒精预期的相关因素和预测因素，以进一步了解美国印第安人/美洲印第安人的饮酒动机。
