“…There exists a permissive atmosphere for drinking in Korean society, and generous social norms for drinking, even for binge drinking, exposing Koreans to problematic drinking [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. For this reason, the prevalence of alcoholism, which is diagnosed as an alcohol use disorder, and the drinking rate is maintained at a high level in Korean society [ 4 ].…”

This study identified the relationship between feeling of entrapment and motivation for change among hospitalized alcoholic patients and examined the double mediating effect model of social isolation and emotional support on this relationship. The study participants were 101 male and female alcoholic patients hospitalized at C hospital, which specializes in alcohol treatment at I city in Korea. PROCESS Macro 3.5 Model 6 was used for analyses of double mediating effects. The results revealed that entrapment and social isolation were negatively correlated with motivation for recovery of alcoholic inpatients, whereas emotional support was positively correlated with it. In a sequential double mediation model for motivation to change in alcoholic inpatients, the direct effects of social isolation and entrapment were not significant. However, the sequential indirect effect of social isolation and emotional support on entrapment and motivation for recovery among alcoholic inpatients was significant. These results suggest that making alcoholic inpatients not feel socially isolated by providing them with emotional support or through other means of assistance by practitioners or family members is important for their recovery from alcohol use disorder.

“…The most important cross-cultural constant in social norms governing alcohol use in Asia may not influence solitary drinking. In almost all cultures, including South Korea, drinking is essentially a social act [ 10 ]. Accordingly, drinking alone is considered indicative of a drinker facing problems, depression, or interpersonal challenges [ 11 ].…”

“…Drinking, especially binge drinking or high-risk drinking, is largely influenced by sociocultural factors, including social drinking norms and motives, traditional drinking patterns, and a country’s alcohol policies [ 5 ]. Norms are subjective perceptions unless they have been codified into laws, such that normative beliefs are what one “thinks” another person wants to be done.…”

“…Descriptive norms are the perceptions of the extent to which a particular behavior occurs in society [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], such as the perceived prevalence of drinking behaviors occurring around them [ 5 , 8 ]. Drinking norms and motives are related to individual characteristics, such as gender and age, that influence choices about alcohol consumption and drinking behaviors [ 5 , 9 ]. The relationship between drinking norms and motives may differ according to age by gender.…”

Background: Drinking norms and motives accumulate with drinking experience; thus, it is likely that related drinking behaviors will differ with age. This study aimed to predict drinking behaviors by age based on drinking norms and motives in a sample of Korean women. Methods: This exploratory study used a nationwide demographically stratified sample including 1057 women aged 19–59 years. Self-report questionnaires assessed participants’ general drinking frequency and quantity, two drinking norms, and five dimensional motives. The data were analyzed using Spss 26. Results: Descriptive and injunctive norms were the predictors that accounted for the greatest variance in drinking frequency, quantity, binge drinking, and high-risk drinking across all age groups (p < 0.001). Descriptive norms predicted all drinking behavior better than injunctive norms and all five motives for all age groups. The effects of each of the five motives differed with age. The enhancement motive was the strongest predictor of the motives for drinking frequency, binge drinking, and high-risk drinking across all age groups. Social and conformity motives predicted only binge drinking. Conclusions: These results suggest that descriptive norms, injunctive norms, and enhancement motives predict drinking behaviors across all age groups, although the relative predictive strength of those variables differed by age.
