Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to prospectively examine the explanatory value of the protection motivation theory (PMT) for the intention to use manner of drinking protective behavioral strategies (MD PBS) and to explore its invariance across genders.

Method: A targeted sampling procedure was used to recruit 339 young adults in the community (Mage = 21.1; SD = 2.21; female = 50.7%) who completed baseline and 2-month follow-up measures of the PMT constructs and intentions to use each of the five MD PBS.

Results: Regression analyses revealed that the coping appraisal components (response efficacy and self-efficacy) had greater explanatory power for the intention to use MD PBS than the threat appraisal components (perceived vulnerability and perceived severity). Perceived vulnerability to alcohol consequences was not prospectively associated with any specific behavioral intention or with the total MD PBS score. In contrast, perceived severity was prospectively associated with the intention to use three out of five PBS and the total MD score. Regression coefficients revealed gender invariance for all six models.

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that interventions aimed at encouraging young adults to use alcohol MD PBS would be most effective if they included components that enhance self-efficacy in using these strategies and emphasize their perceived usefulness in reducing alcohol-related consequences.

将保护动机理论作为与青少年饮酒方式有关的酒精保护行为策略使用意向的解释模型。
目的:本研究旨在前瞻性地考察保护动机理论(PMT)对饮酒方式保护行为策略(MD PBS)使用意向的解释价值,并探讨其在不同性别间的不变性:方法:采用定向抽样程序在社区招募了 339 名年轻人(年龄 = 21.1;SD = 2.21;女性 = 50.7%),他们分别完成了 PMT 构建的基线测量和 2 个月的随访测量,以及使用五种 MD PBS 的意向:回归分析表明,应对评估成分(反应效能和自我效能)比威胁评估成分(感知脆弱性和感知严重性)对使用 MD PBS 意图的解释力更强。对酒精后果的脆弱性感知与任何具体的行为意向或 MD PBS 总分都没有前瞻性关联。与此相反,感知到的严重性则与五项 PBS 中的三项的使用意向和 MD 总分相关。回归系数显示,所有六个模型都不存在性别差异:我们的研究结果表明,如果干预措施能够提高使用这些策略的自我效能感,并强调这些策略在减少酒精相关后果方面的作用,那么旨在鼓励年轻人使用酒精MD PBS的干预措施将最为有效。

期刊介绍: About the Journal Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field. Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results. Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
