Abstract

Heightened perceptions of academic stress may increase college alcohol use behaviors, namely problem drinking and drinking to cope. Leading from prior research, the current study examined posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms as a mediator between academic stress and alcohol use behaviors. Undergraduate participants (N=200) completed an online survey battery. Results indicated that posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms mediated the relationship between academic stress and drinking to cope. Findings maintained after excluding the small portion of the sample without prior trauma. Results suggest that early trauma exposure may increase stress sensitivity, which is associated with elevated nontraumatic academic stress and stress-related symptoms. An increase in stress symptoms likely promotes drinking as a method of coping. Information on the role of trauma and stress may be incorporated into alcohol intervention programs.

创伤后应激障碍症状介导大学生学业压力和饮酒应对。
对学业压力的高度认知可能会增加大学生饮酒行为,即问题饮酒和饮酒应对。基于先前的研究,目前的研究考察了创伤后应激障碍症状作为学业压力和酒精使用行为之间的中介。本科生参与者(N=200)完成了一组在线调查。结果表明,创伤后应激障碍症状在学业压力与饮酒应对之间起中介作用。在排除了一小部分没有先前创伤的样本后,结果维持不变。结果表明,早期创伤暴露可能会增加压力敏感性,这与非创伤性学业压力和压力相关症状的升高有关。压力症状的增加可能会促进饮酒作为一种应对方法。有关创伤和压力作用的信息可以纳入酒精干预方案。
