“…Indeed, endorsement of the coping motives in our sample was consistent with other normative, undergraduate samples (Grant et al, 2007) and significantly lower than clinical samples (Mezquita et al, 2011). Perhaps the coping motive would be a significant moderator of outcomes in a more heavy-using, clinical sample.…”

Motives for alcohol use are associated with distinct antecedents and consequences.Drinking alcohol to cope with negative affect is consistently associated with the most problematic patterns of use. Interventions targeting drinking to cope are needed. This randomized controlled treatment trial evaluated the impact of a brief coping motive feedback-based intervention on motives and problematic outcomes associated with drinking. In addition, a more comprehensive model of the antecedents and consequences of drinking to cope was tested. The study randomized 170 participants to receive either a brief Standard Feedback Condition (SFC; n = 83) or a Motives Feedback Condition (MFC; n = 87) that added education and feedback on drinking to cope as well as alternate coping strategies. Significant reductions in drinking to cope with depression were greater in the MFC at the 2-month follow-up, but the intervention's effect on drinking to cope with anxiety did not reach conventional levels of statistical significance.Significant reductions in drinking and negative consequences were observed but did not differ significantly by condition. Change in coping with depression motives mediated the effect of the intervention on outcomes of drinking and negative consequences. Partial support was found for a structural model linking antecedents of use, coping motives, and consequences associated with substance use. This study is a promising new direction in motives research, providing support for brief interventions incorporating motives-related feedback and for furthering our understanding of the origins and consequences of drinking to cope with negative affect.

“…y evitar ciertas situaciones, como sentirse excluido del grupo o presionado por los amigos. El logro de refuerzo positivo -tanto de naturaleza social como emocional-es también una de las principales motivaciones asociadas al consumo abusivo de alcohol (Abbey, Smith y Scott, 1993;Kuntsche y Cooper, 2010;Mezquita et al, 2011) y a la participación de los universitarios en botellones (Gó-mez-Fraguela et al, 2008). Asimismo, los posibles beneficios asociados a la conducta son también buenos predictores de las conductas arriesgadas de los adolescentes (Parsons et al, 2000;Rolison y Scherman, 2003).…”

Resumen: La búsqueda de sensaciones es una de las variables de personalidad más estrechamente ligadas con la adopción de distintas conductas de riesgo, especialmente el consumo de alcohol y otras drogas. Además, la búsqueda de sensaciones influye en la valoración que los individuos realizan sobre los riesgos y sus posibles consecuencias. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre la búsqueda de sensaciones y el consumo de alcohol en una muestra de 356 jóvenes con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 25 años. Además, hemos querido explorar el posible efecto mediador de las percepciones sesgadas de los individuos sobre los posibles riesgos y beneficios asociados al alcohol en la relación entre la personalidad y el consumo de alcohol. Los resultados obtenidos confirman la importancia de la búsqueda de sensaciones en la explicación del consumo de alcohol de los jóvenes y el papel mediador de las percepciones de riesgos y beneficios en la explicación de dicha relación. En la discusión del trabajo se analizan sus importantes implicaciones prácticas a la hora de diseñar intervenciones específicas dirigidas a prevenir los riesgos asociados al consumo de alcohol en jóvenes. Palabras clave: Búsqueda de sensaciones; consumo de alcohol; percepción de riesgos; motivos para beber alcohol.Title: Sensation seeking and alcohol use: The mediating role of perceived risks and benefits. Abstract: Sensation seeking is one of personality variables more closely linked to the adoption of different risk behaviors, especially the use of alcohol and other drugs. In addition, sensation seeking influences valuation made by individuals about the risks and their possible consequences. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between sensation seeking and the consumption of alcohol in a sample of 356 young people aged between 18 and 25 years. In addition, we wanted to explore the possible effect mediator of biased perceptions of individuals about the potential risks and benefits associated with alcohol in the relationship between the personality and alcohol consumption. The results confirm the importance of sensation seeking in the explanation of the consumption of alcohol among young people and the mediating role of perceptions of risks and benefits in the explanation of the relationship. In the discussion of the work discussed their important practical implications when designing specific interventions aimed at preventing the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol in young people. Key words: Sensation seeking; alcohol use; risk perception; drinking motives. IntroducciónTanto las Encuestas Domiciliarias sobre Consumo de Drogas (EDADES) en población de 15 a 64 años, como las Encuestas Estatales sobre Uso de Drogas en Enseñanzas Secundarias (ESTUDES) realizadas en población de 14 a 18 años señalan que el alcohol es la sustancia psicoactiva de la que más se abusa en nuestro país. Estos datos son coherentes con la realidad cultural española, donde las prevalencias de consumo de alcohol son elevadas y ex...

“…Only in the past few years have studies in a range of more diverse countries such as Great Britain (Atwell et al, 2011;Bruce et al, 2012), Germany (Wurdak et al, 2010), Hungary (Németh et al, 2011a;Urbán et al, 2008), Italy (Graziano et al, 2010;Mazzardis et al, 2010), the Netherlands (Crutzen and Kuntsche, 2013;SchellemanOffermans et al, 2011), Spain (Mezquita et al, 2011;Németh et al, 2011b), and Sweden (Comasco et al, 2010) investigated the structure of drinking motives and/or their links to alcohol-related outcomes. The evidence from these studies and from previous research is fairly consistent in that adolescents reported that they drank most often for social motives, followed by enhancement, coping, and conformity motives in that order (Cooper, 1994;Kuntsche and Kuntsche, 2009;Kuntsche et al, 2008).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The purpose of this study was to test the structure and endorsement of drinking motives and their links to alcohol use among 11-to 19-year-olds from 13 European countries. Method: Confi rmatory factor analysis, latent growth curves, and multiple regression models were conducted, based on a sample of 33,813 alcohol-using students from Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, Switzerland, and Wales who completed the Drinking Motives Questionnaire Revised Short Form (DMQ-R SF). Results: The fi ndings confi rmed the hypothesized fourdimensional factor structure. Social motives for drinking were most frequently indicated, followed by enhancement, coping, and conformity motives, in that order, in all age groups in all countries except Finland. This rank order was clearest among older adolescents and those from northern European countries. The results confi rmed that, across countries, social motives were strongly positively related to drinking frequency, enhancement motives were strongly positively related to frequency of drunkenness, and conformity motives were negatively related to both alcohol outcomes. Against our expectations, social motives were more closely related to drunkenness than were coping motives, particularly among younger adolescents. Conclusions: The fi ndings reveal striking cross-cultural consistency. Health promotion efforts that are based on, or incorporate, drinking motives are likely to be applicable across Europe. As social motives were particularly closely linked to drunkenness among young adolescents, measures to impede the modeling of alcohol use and skills to resist peer pressure are particularly important in this age group.
