摘要
目的：酒精是酒精问题的一个重要危险因素，现有的对酒精的主观反应的调查方法询问了体验酒精影响的饮酒次数，但没有考虑个人体验酒精的强烈程度。我们测试了酒精影响强度的新测量方法，以及“饮酒数量”，是否在预测酒精问题方面起到了独特或互动的作用。我们研究了这些主观反应变量与种族身份和出生性别之间的联系。方法：受试者(N = 246；18-50年;44.3%是黑人;55.7%的白人;58.4%为女性；（41.6%为男性）接受了酒精相关风险的抽样调查，并完成了一项在线调查。参与者报告了经历酒精影响的饮酒数量（Fleming等人，2016）、这些酒精影响的强度、酒精相关问题和协变量（酗酒频率、耐受性、人口统计学）。结果：经验证性因子分析，酒精效应强度项（刺激强度、镇静强度）有2个因子影响饮酒项目数量（刺激次数、镇静次数），酒精效应强度项有2个因子影响饮酒项目数量（刺激强度、镇静强度）。刺激强度和镇静次数与酒精问题显著相关，并相互作用预测；个体报告更大的刺激强度和需要更多的饮料来体验镇静显示出最大的风险。与白人相比，黑人报告的刺激强度更大，需要更多的饮料来感受刺激。与女性相比，男性需要喝更多的酒才能感到镇静。结论：参与者对酒精影响强度的自我报告可能捕捉到主观反应的一个重要方面，可以改进现有的基于调查的酒精相关危险因素的测量方法。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
Survey measures of subjective response to alcohol are improved by incorporating questions about the intensity of alcohol effects.
Objective: Extant survey measures of subjective response to alcohol, an important risk factor for alcohol problems, query the number of drinks to experience alcohol effects but do not consider how intensely individuals experience them. We tested whether new measures of the intensity of alcohol effects, alongside the "number of drinks," contributed uniquely or interactively in predicting alcohol problems. We examined associations among these subjective response variables with racial identity and sex assigned at birth.
Method: Participants (N = 246; 18-50 years; 44.3% Black; 55.7% White; 58.4% assigned female; 41.6% assigned male) were oversampled for alcohol-related risk and completed an online survey. Participants reported the number of drinks to experience alcohol effects (Fleming et al., 2016), the intensity of these alcohol effects, alcohol-related problems, and covariates (heavy drinking frequency, tolerance, demographics).
Results: According to confirmatory factor analyses, two factors underlay the number of drinks items ("stimulation number of drinks," "sedation number of drinks") and the same for alcohol effect intensity items ("stimulation intensity," "sedation intensity"). Stimulation intensity and sedation number of drinks were significantly associated with, and interacted to predict, alcohol problems; individuals reporting both greater stimulation intensity and needing more drinks to experience sedation showed the greatest risk. Black relative to White individuals reported greater intensity of, and needing more drinks to feel, stimulation. Male relative to female individuals reported needing more drinks to feel sedation.
Conclusions: Participants' self-reports of the intensity of alcohol effects may capture an important aspect of subjective response that could improve existing survey-based measures of this important alcohol-related risk factor. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
