ABSTRACT The risk for alcohol misuse among emerging adults can increase by the development of a maladaptive identity structure. Recent research has shown that drinking identity serves as a risk factor for hazardous drinking. Despite this, existing measures have largely relied on unidimensional conceptualizations of drinking identity. Addressing this gap, the current study sought to develop and validate the Drinking Identity Management Scale (DIMS), a multidimensional measure of drinking identity development. The sample included 475 college students (78.1% women; Mage = 20.08 years; SD = 4.19 years). The results supported a multi-dimensional conceptualization of drinking identity consisting of exploration, commitment, compatibility, and endorsement. Additionally, drinking identity dimensions were associated with severity of alcohol use and related consequences. The current study provided preliminary evidence for the validity of the DIMS and highlights the need for future studies to capture the developmental processes underlying a drinking identity development.

从发展的角度实施饮酒身份：饮酒身份管理量表（DIMS）

摘要：适应不良的身份结构的发展会增加新兴成年人滥用酒精的风险。最近的研究表明，饮酒身份是危险饮酒的危险因素。尽管如此，现有的措施在很大程度上依赖于饮酒身份的单维概念化。针对这一差距，当前的研究试图开发和验证饮酒身份管理量表 (DIMS)，这是一种饮酒身份发展的多维衡量标准。样本包括 475 名大学生（78.1% 为女性；法师 = 20.08 岁；SD = 4.19 岁）。结果支持了饮酒身份的多维概念化，包括探索、承诺、兼容性和认可。此外，饮酒身份维度与饮酒的严重程度和相关后果相关。当前的研究为 DIMS 的有效性提供了初步证据，并强调了未来研究的必要性，以捕捉饮酒身份发展背后的发展过程。
