The Effects of Drinking Motivation on female college student Perceptions and Behaviors of Drinking.

여대생의 음주 동기가 음주에 관한 인식과 행동에 미치는 영향

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of alcohol drinking motivation on the drinking behaviors of female college students. It is necessary to examine the drinking behavior of female college students not only for their academic performance and health status but also for future reproduction concerns. The subjects of this study included 296 college students in their 20s. Research data was analyzed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 22 statistical programs. Results of this study found academic and human relationships had the greatest effect on the stress level of female college students. In addition, the perception of drinking was more influential on the drinking problem, and female college students who perceived anxiety through the drinking problem tried to change the behavior of drinking. Also, the perception of drinking by the influence of alcohol was more significant than that of drinking by college students who perceived anxiety through drinking problem. Second, if drinking is beneficial in the internal or external motivation of the individual, it maintains drinking behaviors and changes the behavior of drinking when experiencing the problem of drinking. Through these results, we aim to contribute to the reduction of the negative risk of alcohol by understanding the drinking preference of female college students and examining the drinking culture according to drinking motives.

본 연구는 여대생의 음주 동기가 음주 행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 시행되었으며, 여대생의 음주 행태를 살펴보는 것은 본인의 학업과 건강뿐만 아니라 미래의 출산을 위해서 필요하다. 연구 대상은 20대 여대생 296명을 대상으로 진행하였고, 연구 자료는 SPSS 24.0과 AMOS 22 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 결과, 여대생의 스트레스에 가장 영향을 주는 것은 학업과 인간관계였다. 또한, 음주가 학업에 미치는 영향에 따른 인식은 음주 문제의 요소가 더 크고, 음주 문제를 통하여 불안을 인식한 여대생은 음주의 행동을 변화하고자 하였다. 다음으로 음주의 동기 중 개인의 내적, 외적 동기에서 음주가 유익하다고 생각하면, 음주 행동을 유지하고, 음주의 문제를 느끼면 음주의 행동에 변화를 주는 것으로 나타났다. 위 결과를 통하여, 여대생이 선호하는 음주를 파악하고, 음주 동기에 따른 음주문화를 살펴보는 것으로, 음주에 대한 부정적 위험을 줄이는 방법에 이바지하고자 한다.
