Abstract

Objective: While the stigma experienced by non-drinkers is well-documented, little is known about the factors that influence it. This study aims to test a sequential mediation model in which the amount of alcohol consumed by a drinker, predicts their experienced alcohol-related harm, which in turn predicts the concern they have for drinking and their negative attitudes towards non-drinkers.

Methods: A sample of 787 Australian drinkers (M_age = 38.4 years, SD = 11.4) completed online measures of alcohol consumption, alcohol-related harms, concern for drinking and the Cheers Attitudes towards Non-drinker Scale (CANS): a scale that measures the negative attitudes toward non-drinkers via three threats non-drinkers are perceived to pose to drinkers (Threat to Fun, Connection, and Self).

Results: The model was shown to be a good fit and demonstrated a sequential mediation with significant indirect effects from alcohol consumption via experienced alcohol-related harms and concern, to each CANS subscale: Threat to Self (β = 0.402, p < 0.001), Fun (β = 0.096, p = 0.006) and Connection (β = 0.165, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The findings suggest that the stigma directed at non-drinkers may be enacted as a defence against an unwanted self-reflection from a drinker's concern for their own drinking.

饮酒者自身的饮酒情况、与酒精相关的危害经历以及对饮酒的关注程度都会影响饮酒者对不饮酒者的态度。

目的：尽管不饮酒者所经历的耻辱感已被充分证实，但对其影响因素却知之甚少。本研究旨在检验一个序列中介模型，在该模型中，饮酒者的饮酒量可预测他们所经历的酒精相关伤害，而酒精相关伤害又可预测他们对饮酒的担忧以及他们对非饮酒者的负面态度：787名澳大利亚饮酒者（平均年龄=38.4岁，标准差=11.4）在线完成了关于饮酒量、酒精相关危害、对饮酒的担忧以及对非饮酒者的态度量表（CANS）的测量，该量表通过非饮酒者被认为对饮酒者构成的三种威胁（对娱乐、联系和自我的威胁）来测量对非饮酒者的消极态度：结果表明，该模型具有良好的拟合性，并显示出通过经历与酒精相关的伤害和担忧，酒精消费对 CANS 各分量表具有显著间接影响的顺序中介作用：对自我的威胁（β = 0.402，p = 0.006）和联系（β = 0.165，p 结论：研究结果表明，"对自我的威胁 "和 "联系 "这两个子量表的间接影响显著：研究结果表明，针对非饮酒者的污名化可能是饮酒者出于对自身饮酒情况的担忧而进行的自我反思。
