Abstract

Abstract The United Kingdom and the Netherlands exhibit similar levels of heavy episodic drinking but different drinking patterns among youths. This study aimed to assess the impact of country of residence on heavy episodic drinking among 293 British and Dutch youths, accounting for other behavioral determinants. Participants completed online questionnaires measuring impulsivity, sensation-seeking, alcohol consumption, and constructs from the Theory of Planned Behavior [TPB]. Mediation analysis established that British youths engaged in more frequent heavy drinking episodes than Dutch youths, as they had weaker intentions to refrain from heavy drinking, and lower perceived behavioral control. Country of residence also was a direct predictor of frequency of heavy drinking episodes, not mediated by personality traits. Thus, country of residence seems an important factor in heavy episodic drinking, partly mediated through TPB constructs. Interventions may benefit from targeting country-specific drinking behavior and related socio-psychological mechanisms.

比较影响英国和荷兰年轻人间歇性酗酒的因素

摘要英国和荷兰青少年的重度偶发性饮酒水平相似，但饮酒模式不同。本研究旨在评估居住国对293名英国和荷兰青年重度偶发性饮酒的影响，并考虑其他行为决定因素。参与者完成了在线问卷调查，测量冲动、寻求感觉、饮酒和计划行为理论的构建。调解分析表明，英国年轻人比荷兰年轻人更频繁地酗酒，因为他们不酗酒的意愿较弱，行为控制能力也较低。居住国也是酗酒发作频率的直接预测因素，而不是由性格特征介导的。因此，居住国似乎是严重偶发性饮酒的一个重要因素，部分是通过TPB结构介导的。干预措施可能受益于针对特定国家的饮酒行为和相关的社会心理机制。
