Alcohol consumption : Can it be predicted by personality factors, BIS/BAS, gender and age? (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med aktuell studie var att undersöka om personlighetsegenskaper (från femfaktormodellen), BIS/BAS, kön och ålder kunde predicera studenters alkoholkonsumtion.  Alkoholkonsumtion är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle och bidrar till 3 miljoner dödsfall varje år globalt och leder till funktionshinder och dålig hälsa för miljontals människor. Studien använde sig av en korrelationell design och data samlades in med hjälp av ett självskattningsformulär. Urvalet bestod av 184 universitetsstudenter (77 % kvinnor) från tre olika program på Linnéuniversitetet i Kalmar och Växjö. Korrelationsanalysen visade signifikanta samband mellan alkoholkonsumtion och oberoende variabler där den starkaste effekten var ett medelstarkt positivt samband mellan BAS Fun Seeking och alkoholkonsumtion. Den efterföljande regressionsanalysen (MRA) visade att ålder, kön, BAS Fun Seeking och extraversion kunde predicera alkoholkonsumtion vilket stämde överens med studiens hypoteser och tidigare forskning. Resultatet från nuvarande studie ger en bättre förståelse för vilka variabler som kan predicera alkoholkonsumtion och utökar kunskap inom området vilket kan vara användbart för framtida hälsoprogram.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to investigate whether personality factors (from the five-factor model), BIS/BAS, gender and age could predict students' alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption is a major problem today, contributing to 3 million deaths each year globally and leading to disability and poor health for millions of people. The study used a correlational design and data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. The sample consisted of 184 university students (77% women) from three different programs at Linnaeus University in Kalmar and Växjö. The correlation analysis showed significant relationships between alcohol consumption and independent variables, with the strongest effect being a moderately strong positive relationship between BAS Fun Seeking and alcohol consumption. The multiple regression analysis (MRA) showed that age, gender, BAS Fun Seeking and extraversion could predict alcohol consumption, which was consistent with the study's hypotheses and previous research. The result from the current study provides a better understanding of which variables can predict alcohol consumption and expands knowledge in the field, which can be useful for future health programs.
