Background

: Workplace victimization is one of most serious problems for affecting alcohol misuse in junior military personnel (JMP) that has been largely overlooked in research attention. Studies on workplace victimization and alcohol misuse indicate anger as mediator. Workplace victimization may affect alcohol misuse (in)directly through the mediator.

Methods

: A sample of JMP (N = 815) completed an offline survey, consisting of the revised Conflict Tactics Scale-2, Composite International Diagnostic Interview Screening Scale, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Frequency, t-test and chi-square test, and mediation analyses were conducted to assess the effects of workplace victimization on alcohol misuse, mediated via anger.

Results

: Victims in the workplace showed higher level of anger and alcohol misuse. In mediation analyses, workplace victimization was related to higher levels of anger, which, in turn, were associated with greater alcohol misuse.

Limitations

: Study limitations included the use of cross-sectional data with the use of retrospective self-report.

Conclusion

: Workplace victimization in JMP is prevalent (17.7%), and alcohol misuse is associated with effects of workplace victimization and anger with full mediation path. Findings suggest that eliminating workplace victimization against JMP and intervention for anger should be focused upon, and implemented for online alcohol misuse prevention in the military context.

初级军事人员的工作场所受害和酗酒：调节愤怒的作用

背景

：工作场所受害是影响初级军事人员 (JMP) 酒精滥用的最严重问题之一，而这一问题在研究关注中基本上被忽视了。关于工作场所受害和酒精滥用的研究表明，愤怒是调解者。工作场所受害可能会直接通过调解员影响（in）酒精滥用。

方法

：JMP 样本 ( N  = 815) 完成了一项离线调查，包括修订后的冲突策略量表 2、复合国际诊断访谈筛选量表和酒精使用障碍识别测试。进行了频率、t检验和卡方检验以及中介分析，以评估工作场所受害对酒精滥用的影响，通过愤怒进行调解。

结果

：工作场所的受害者表现出更高水平的愤怒和酒精滥用。在中介分析中，工作场所受害与更高程度的愤怒有关，而后者又与更严重的酒精滥用有关。

限制

：研究局限性包括使用横断面数据和回顾性自我报告。

结论

：JMP 中的工作场所受害很普遍 (17.7%)，酒精滥用与工作场所受害和愤怒的影响有关，并具有完整的调解路径。调查结果表明，应重点关注消除工作场所对 JMP 的伤害和对愤怒的干预，并在军事背景下实施在线酒精滥用预防。
