Abstract

Balanced levels of Psychological Well-Being (PWB) can represent protective factors for human functioning. PWB has not been investigated among young adolescents who practice binge drinking (BD), a popular pattern of alcohol intake, defined as the consumption of five or more alcoholic units in one session. The negative impact of BD on psychophysical health has been extensively studied, but there is scarcity of studies investigating the influence of psychological variables on BD in early adolescence. The main aim of this study was to fill the gap in the literature, focusing on PWB as a new possible target of preventive interventions. One thousand six hundred and eighty-seven Italian adolescents completed questionnaires assessing BD, cannabis use, lifestyle, allostatic overload, subclinical psychological distress, problem-solving, and PWB. Binge drinkers represented 9% of the sample. Among them, 71%, 26%, and 3% binge drank monthly, weekly, and daily, respectively. Stress (higher frequency of stressful life events), psychological distress (higher hostility), and PWB dimensions (higher scores on positive relations and lower on purpose in life) were associated with BD. These new findings on unbalanced levels of PWB could represent the potential target of longitudinal studies aimed to implement specific preventive interventions among young adolescents. Implications for research and prevention are discussed.

抽象的

心理健康（PWB）的平衡水平可以代表人类功能的保护因素。尚未进行暴饮暴食（BD）的年轻青少年的PWB研究，这是一种普遍的饮酒方式，即一次喝酒五个或五个以上的酒精单位。BD对心理生理健康的负面影响已被广泛研究，但是缺乏研究调查心理变量对BD在青春期早期的影响的研究。这项研究的主要目的是填补文献中的空白，重点是工作计划和预算作为预防干预措施的新目标。167个意大利青少年填写了问卷调查表，评估了BD，大麻使用，生活方式，同化作用超负荷，亚临床心理困扰，解决问题和PWB。狂饮者占样本的9％。其中，有71％，26％和3％的狂欢分别每月，每周和每天喝一次。BD与压力（压力性生活事件的发生频率较高），心理困扰（较高的敌对情绪）和PWB尺寸（积极关系得分较高，生活中的目标价值较低）相关。这些关于工作计划和预算水平不均衡的新发现可能代表了旨在进行青少年预防性干预的纵向研究的潜在目标。讨论了对研究和预防的意义。和PWB维度（积极关系得分较高，生活中目标降低）与BD相关。这些关于工作计划和预算水平不平衡的新发现可能代表了旨在进行青少年预防性干预的纵向研究的潜在目标。讨论了对研究和预防的意义。和PWB维度（积极关系得分较高，生活中目标降低）与BD相关。这些关于工作计划和预算水平不平衡的新发现可能代表了旨在进行青少年预防性干预的纵向研究的潜在目标。讨论了对研究和预防的意义。
