It was only in some countries (e.g., Estonia and Portugal) that the model fi t was somewhat poorer.…”

“…Only in the past few years have studies in a range of more diverse countries such as Great Britain (Atwell et al, 2011;Bruce et al, 2012), Germany (Wurdak et al, 2010), Hungary (Németh et al, 2011a;Urbán et al, 2008), Italy (Graziano et al, 2010;Mazzardis et al, 2010), the Netherlands (Crutzen and Kuntsche, 2013;SchellemanOffermans et al, 2011), Spain (Mezquita et al, 2011;Németh et al, 2011b), and Sweden (Comasco et al, 2010) investigated the structure of drinking motives and/or their links to alcohol-related outcomes. The evidence from these studies and from previous research is fairly consistent in that adolescents reported that they drank most often for social motives, followed by enhancement, coping, and conformity motives in that order (Cooper, 1994;Kuntsche and Kuntsche, 2009;Kuntsche et al, 2008).…”

“…To our knowledge, only one study has compared the structure and endorsement of drinking motives and their links to alcohol outcomes between two European countries (i.e., Hungary and Spain; Németh et al, 2011b). Consistent with another cross-cultural drinking motives study that compared adolescents from a European country (Switzerland) with those living in North America (Kuntsche et al, 2008), Németh and colleagues (2011b) confi rmed the four-dimensional motive structure and the rank order (social > enhancement > coping > conformity) in both countries.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:The purpose of this study was to test the structure and endorsement of drinking motives and their links to alcohol use among 11-to 19-year-olds from 13 European countries. Method: Confi rmatory factor analysis, latent growth curves, and multiple regression models were conducted, based on a sample of 33,813 alcohol-using students from Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, Switzerland, and Wales who completed the Drinking Motives Questionnaire Revised Short Form (DMQ-R SF). Results: The fi ndings confi rmed the hypothesized fourdimensional factor structure. Social motives for drinking were most frequently indicated, followed by enhancement, coping, and conformity motives, in that order, in all age groups in all countries except Finland. This rank order was clearest among older adolescents and those from northern European countries. The results confi rmed that, across countries, social motives were strongly positively related to drinking frequency, enhancement motives were strongly positively related to frequency of drunkenness, and conformity motives were negatively related to both alcohol outcomes. Against our expectations, social motives were more closely related to drunkenness than were coping motives, particularly among younger adolescents. Conclusions: The fi ndings reveal striking cross-cultural consistency. Health promotion efforts that are based on, or incorporate, drinking motives are likely to be applicable across Europe. As social motives were particularly closely linked to drunkenness among young adolescents, measures to impede the modeling of alcohol use and skills to resist peer pressure are particularly important in this age group.

“…As such, the first goal of this collaboration is to examine the invariance of the four-factor structure of the measure of drinking motives (Cooper, 1994;Kuntsche & Kuntsche, 2009) across 10 nations. To date, the factor structure has been shown to be highly similar across all countries examined, including the United States, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, England, Hungary, Australia, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovakia, and Wales (Crutzen & Kuntsche, 2012;Hauck-Filho, Teixeira, & Cooper, 2012;Kuntsche et al, 2014;Kuntsche, Stewart, & Cooper, 2008;Lyvers, Hasking, Hani, Rhodes, & Trew, 2010;Mazzardis, Vieno, Kuntsche, & Santinello, 2010;Németh et al, 2011). Only a handful of studies have directly compared the structure of motives across countries (Kuntsche et al, 2008;Kuntsche et al, 2014;Németh et al, 2011) and have found support for the invariance of the four-factor structure of drinking motives across the countries compared.…”

Abstract. Objective. The aim of this study is to evaluate differences in emotional expressivity according to the motivation to refuse alcohol in a sample of alcohol dependent patients. Methods. The study sample consists of 142 alcohol-dependent patients (96 males and 46 females) undergoing treatment in Lithuania, Kaunas centre for addictive disorders. Emotional expressivity, motivation to refuse alcohol and alcohol dependency are measured by Lithuanian versions of The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES), Five Expressivity Facet Scale and AUDIT test.Results. Highly motivated alcohol-dependent males express more positive and negative emotions; also, they have significantly higher expressive confidence and higher emotional impulse intensity than those alcohol-dependent males with low motivation to refuse alcohol. Highly motivated alcohol-dependent females have higher emotional impulse intensity and they express more positive emotions comparing to low motivated females. Conclusions. Increased motivation to refuse alcohol is significantly related to some positive aspects of emotional expressivity. Highly motivated alcohol-dependent patients (both males and females) show higher emotional impulse intensity and higher expression of positive emotions. So, applied psychosocial interventions make significant changes in emotional expressivity and this perhaps is significant for the development of new perception of alcohol dependency and for making behavioural changes.
