Abstract

|
Objects: This study examined the relations among college students’ personality characteristics, drink motivation, and drinking behavior. This study also examined the mediating effect of drink motivation on the relationship between college students’ personality characteristics and drinking behavior.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 210 college students(male: 50, female: 160) attending a university in Chungnam. College students completed the personality characteristics, drink motivation, and drinking behavior scales. The data was analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation coefficients and regressions.
Results: Results indicated that college students’ neuroticism and extroversion were significantly related to drinking behavior. Also, college students’ social motivation and coping motivation were significantly related to drinking behavior. Especially, social motivation fully mediated the relationship between college students’ neuroticism and extroversion and drinking behavior. Coping motivation fully and partially mediated the relationship between college students’ neuroticism and extroversion and drinking behavior.
Conclusions: In this study, the personality characteristics directly influence the drinking behavior, but they found the influence on the drinking behavior through the drink motivation. In particular, it is very necessary to intervene in the development of health education programs that can intervene in drink motivation for college students with neurotic characteristics.
