A multivariate analysis of excessive alcohol use involving labeling and self-constructs
Abstract:
Previous studies have focused on predicting whether or not a person is likely to become a problem drinker, but have not employed concepts explaining the process whereby excessive alcohol use emerges. It is proposed that labeling concepts, in combination with a multidimensional conceptualization of the general self-concept, provide the components of a model capable of explaining this process. Automatic Interaction Detector permitted an assessment of the contingent relationships among the labeling and self variables. The findings indicated that the influence of the alcoholic labels of others on self-views and drinking behaviors hinged on self-esteem and self-complexity.
