Abstract

Background: This study aimed to determine if motivations to use alcohol (coping and social motivations) mediate the relationship between trait mindfulness and a variety of alcohol-related consequences and to determine if the relationship between motivations to use alcohol and alcohol-related consequences is moderated by alcohol use. We determined the factor structure of positive and negative consequences of alcohol use and used this structure as outcomes across eight moderated mediation models.

Methods: Data were obtained from 296 undergraduate students to confirm the alcohol-related consequences factor structure and to test eight moderated-mediation models.

Results: Four alcohol-related consequences scales (romantic/sexual, positive, mild negative, and severe negative consequences) were confirmed. The motive of drinking to cope significantly mediated the relationship between trait mindfulness and all four of the alcohol-related consequences scales. Drinking to socialize did not significantly mediate the relationship between trait mindfulness and all of the alcohol-related consequences scales.

Conclusions: The identified four-factor structure suggests that alcohol-related consequences should be assessed in a more specific manner. Additionally, different motivations for alcohol use relate differentially to trait mindfulness and different alcohol-related consequences; drinking to cope is particularly problematic for this population. Future research on the usefulness of promoting mindfulness to reduce problematic drinking appears warranted.

酒精相关后果：因子结构以及与特质心智和饮酒动机的关联。

研究背景本研究旨在确定饮酒动机（应对动机和社交动机）是否能调节特质正念与各种酒精相关后果之间的关系，并确定饮酒动机与酒精相关后果之间的关系是否会受到饮酒的调节。我们确定了饮酒的积极和消极后果的因子结构，并将此结构作为八个调节中介模型的结果：方法：我们从 296 名本科生中获取数据，以确认与酒精相关的后果因子结构，并对八个调节中介模型进行测试：结果：四个与酒精相关的后果量表（恋爱/性后果、积极后果、轻度消极后果和严重消极后果）得到了证实。为应对而饮酒的动机对特质正念与所有四个酒精相关后果量表之间的关系有明显的中介作用。为社交而饮酒并没有明显地调节特质正念与所有酒精相关后果量表之间的关系：结论：已确定的四因素结构表明，与酒精相关的后果应以更具体的方式进行评估。此外，不同的饮酒动机与特质正念和不同的酒精相关后果之间的关系也不同；饮酒应付对这一人群来说尤其成问题。今后似乎有必要对促进正念以减少问题性饮酒的有用性进行研究。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Medicine (IJBM) is the official scientific journal of the International Society for Behavioral Medicine (ISBM). IJBM seeks to present the best theoretically-driven, evidence-based work in the field of behavioral medicine from around the globe. IJBM embraces multiple theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, groups of interest, and levels of analysis. The journal is interested in research across the broad spectrum of behavioral medicine, including health-behavior relationships, the prevention of illness and the promotion of health, the effects of illness on the self and others, the effectiveness of novel interventions, identification of biobehavioral mechanisms, and the influence of social factors on health. We welcome experimental, non-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies as well as implementation and dissemination research, integrative reviews, and meta-analyses.
