Abstract

This study examined relations between sensation seeking, impulsivity, COVID-related stress and alcohol consumption using a cross-sectional survey of 1318 students from five Canadian universities. Path analysis found impulsivity was positively associated with all five Covid Stress Scales (CSS-B) and was indirectly associated with more alcohol use through traumatic stress (risk pathway) and indirectly associated with less alcohol consumption through higher danger/contamination fears and economic fears (protective pathways). Sensation seeking was indirectly associated with more alcohol consumption through lower danger/contamination fears (risk pathway). There may have been a ‘healthy’ amount of COVID-related danger/contamination fear that was lacking among sensation seekers. Addressing traumatic stress, such as those inherent during the COVID-19 pandemic, may help reduce drinking among students high in impulsivity..

新成年人群寻求感觉、冲动、COVID-19压力和饮酒

这项研究通过对来自加拿大五所大学的1318名学生的横断面调查，研究了寻求感觉、冲动、与covid相关的压力和饮酒之间的关系。路径分析发现，冲动性与所有五种Covid - b压力量表（CSS-B）呈正相关，并通过创伤压力（风险途径）间接与更多的酒精使用相关，并通过更高的危险/污染恐惧和经济恐惧（保护途径）间接与更少的酒精消费相关。通过降低危险/污染恐惧（风险途径），感觉寻求与更多的酒精消费间接相关。寻求感觉的人可能缺乏“健康”的与新冠病毒相关的危险/污染恐惧。解决创伤性压力，例如COVID-19大流行期间固有的创伤性压力，可能有助于减少易冲动学生的饮酒。
