Abstract

This paper examines the possibility of the existence of stress-buffering properties of alcohol consumption suggested by a recent study in which life events were related to depressive symptoms for abstainers and heavy drinkers but not for moderate drinkers. Survey data on affective and somatic symptoms from 364 urban and 333 rural Florida residents indicated some support for the buffering argument. Moderate and heavy drinkers manifested significantly lower levels of symptoms than did abstainers only with regard to somatic symptoms. Life event-drinking pattern interactions did not reach statistical significance, although trends consistent with the buffering hypothesis were obtained with the somatic symptom measure. Implications of the data are explored.

酒精消费的应激缓冲作用:症状维度的重要性。
最近的一项研究表明,生活事件与戒酒者和重度饮酒者的抑郁症状有关,但与适度饮酒者无关,本文探讨了酒精消费存在压力缓冲特性的可能性。对佛罗里达州364名城市居民和333名农村居民的情感和身体症状的调查数据表明,缓冲论点得到了一些支持。中度和重度饮酒者仅在躯体症状方面表现出明显低于不饮酒者的症状水平。生活事件-饮酒模式的相互作用没有达到统计学意义,尽管用躯体症状测量得到了符合缓冲假设的趋势。对数据的含义进行了探讨。
