Abstract

Study

Intolerance of uncertainty (IU), a disposition to see uncertainty as negative, is a unique construct associated with a number of internalizing disorders and has been a target in cognitive behavioral interventions. Given the overlap between internalizing disorders and alcohol use, exploring IU in the context of drinking behavior provides a promising area of inquiry. Past work identified associations between IU and drinking motives, important predictors of alcohol-related outcomes, with less work examining drinking behavior.

Objective

We explored the role of IU and drinking motives on drinking patterns and potentially problematic drinking in a community sample of emerging adults (18–25 years).

Method

Survey data was collected from 551 emerging adults (Mage = 22.26, SD = 2.25; 42.50% cisgender women, 42.28% cisgender men, 9.44% gender diverse; 37.93% white; 16.18% Hispanic/Latine) using an online participant recruitment tool. Participants completed demographic questions, motivations for drinking (DMQ-R), quantity and frequency of alcohol use (DDQ-R), potentially problematic drinking behavior (AUDIT), and attitudes towards uncertainty with a two-factor and single factor operationalization (IUS-27 and IUS-12).

Results

Across models, statistically significant indirect effects were found, such that greater IU was associated with higher coping and enhancement motives and increased average and maximum drinks per week and AUDIT scores.

Conclusion

While consistent with the prior literature, novel relations were found between IU and drinking indices via drinking motives. Future work should explore relations between IU and drinking outcomes longitudinally and whether interventions targeting IU have benefit in the prevention of maladaptive alcohol use.

对不确定性的不容忍、饮酒动机和社区新兴成年人的酒精消费情况
研究不确定性耐受性(IU)是一种将不确定性视为负面的倾向,是一种与多种内化障碍相关的独特结构,一直是认知行为干预的目标。鉴于内化障碍与饮酒之间的重叠,在饮酒行为的背景下探索不确定性倾向是一个很有前景的研究领域。过去的研究发现了内化障碍与饮酒动机(酒精相关结果的重要预测因素)之间的关联,但对饮酒行为的研究较少。目的我们在社区新兴成人(18-25 岁)样本中探讨了内化障碍和饮酒动机对饮酒模式和潜在问题饮酒的影响。方法我们使用在线参与者招募工具收集了 551 名新兴成年人(Mage = 22.26,SD = 2.25;42.50% 为顺性女性,42.28% 为顺性男性,9.44% 为不同性别;37.93% 为白人;16.18% 为西班牙裔/拉丁裔)的调查数据。受试者填写了人口统计学问题、饮酒动机(DMQ-R)、饮酒数量和频率(DDQ-R)、潜在问题饮酒行为(AUDIT)以及对不确定性的态度,并进行了双因素和单因素操作(IUS-27 和 IUS-12)。结果在不同的模型中,发现了具有统计学意义的间接效应,例如,更高的 IU 与更高的应对动机和增强动机相关,与每周平均饮酒量和最高饮酒量以及 AUDIT 分数的增加相关。结论虽然与之前的文献一致,但通过饮酒动机发现了 IU 与饮酒指数之间的新关系。今后的工作应纵向探讨IU与饮酒结果之间的关系,以及针对IU的干预措施是否有利于预防适应不良型饮酒。
