“…En concreto, los hombres obtienen puntuaciones más altas en búsqueda de sensaciones, un hallazgo ampliamente documentado en la literatura científica (Constantinou, Rehm et al, 2009;Ryb, Dischinger, Kufera y Read, 2006). Además, los hombres perciben menos riesgos y más beneficios asociados al consumo de alcohol, un patrón que también ha sido observado en varios estudios sobre distintas conductas de riesgo (i.e., sexo sin protección, consumo de drogas, conductas imprudentes, etc.)…”

Resumen: La búsqueda de sensaciones es una de las variables de personalidad más estrechamente ligadas con la adopción de distintas conductas de riesgo, especialmente el consumo de alcohol y otras drogas. Además, la búsqueda de sensaciones influye en la valoración que los individuos realizan sobre los riesgos y sus posibles consecuencias. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre la búsqueda de sensaciones y el consumo de alcohol en una muestra de 356 jóvenes con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 25 años. Además, hemos querido explorar el posible efecto mediador de las percepciones sesgadas de los individuos sobre los posibles riesgos y beneficios asociados al alcohol en la relación entre la personalidad y el consumo de alcohol. Los resultados obtenidos confirman la importancia de la búsqueda de sensaciones en la explicación del consumo de alcohol de los jóvenes y el papel mediador de las percepciones de riesgos y beneficios en la explicación de dicha relación. En la discusión del trabajo se analizan sus importantes implicaciones prácticas a la hora de diseñar intervenciones específicas dirigidas a prevenir los riesgos asociados al consumo de alcohol en jóvenes. Palabras clave: Búsqueda de sensaciones; consumo de alcohol; percepción de riesgos; motivos para beber alcohol.Title: Sensation seeking and alcohol use: The mediating role of perceived risks and benefits. Abstract: Sensation seeking is one of personality variables more closely linked to the adoption of different risk behaviors, especially the use of alcohol and other drugs. In addition, sensation seeking influences valuation made by individuals about the risks and their possible consequences. The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between sensation seeking and the consumption of alcohol in a sample of 356 young people aged between 18 and 25 years. In addition, we wanted to explore the possible effect mediator of biased perceptions of individuals about the potential risks and benefits associated with alcohol in the relationship between the personality and alcohol consumption. The results confirm the importance of sensation seeking in the explanation of the consumption of alcohol among young people and the mediating role of perceptions of risks and benefits in the explanation of the relationship. In the discussion of the work discussed their important practical implications when designing specific interventions aimed at preventing the risks associated with the consumption of alcohol in young people. Key words: Sensation seeking; alcohol use; risk perception; drinking motives. IntroducciónTanto las Encuestas Domiciliarias sobre Consumo de Drogas (EDADES) en población de 15 a 64 años, como las Encuestas Estatales sobre Uso de Drogas en Enseñanzas Secundarias (ESTUDES) realizadas en población de 14 a 18 años señalan que el alcohol es la sustancia psicoactiva de la que más se abusa en nuestro país. Estos datos son coherentes con la realidad cultural española, donde las prevalencias de consumo de alcohol son elevadas y ex...

“…We know that not all drinking events results in drunk driving or riding with an intoxicated driver and thus some other conditions needs to be fulfilled. Accordingly, impulsivity has appeared as a strong determinant of drunk driving (Curran et al, 2010;Ryb et al, 2006;Stanford et al, 1996). People who are impulsive are more shortsighted and more prone to take risks compared with individuals with a high degree of selfcontrol and are therefore more likely to engage in risky and criminal acts such as drunk driving (Gottfredson & Hirshi, 1990).…”

“…Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the risk of riding with drinking drivers increases with decreasing age, with reported alcohol use, heavy episodic drinking or problematic alcohol use, and with drinking on specific locations such as in the car and with friends' support for drinking (Cartwright & Asbridge, 2011;Shope, Raghunathan & Patil, 2003;Walker, Waiters, Grube & Chen, 2005). Another characteristic commonly found among people involved in risky behaviours is impulsivity or low self-control (Ainslie, 2001), which has appeared as a strong determinant of drunk driving and riding with an intoxicated driver (Curran, Fuertes, Alfonso, & Hennessy, 2010;Ryb, Dischinger, Kufera, & Read, 2006;Stanford, Greve, Boudreaux, Mathias, & Brumbelow, 1996). Moreover, it has been shown that those who reported riding with an intoxicated had lower perceptions of risk associated with drinking and driving and reduced feelings of control around drinking and driving.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) extended with past behaviour, moral norm, descriptive norm, demographic variables and frequency of alcohol use is able to predict intentions not to ride with an intoxicated driver. Second, to examine whether different processes guide intentions among young passengers (35 years and below) versus passengers aged above 35 years, and women's versus men's intentions.Questionnaires were sent to a sample of 4000 people in Norway aged between 18 and 70 years, and were completed by 1025 respondents, 44.9% were men (M = 43.9 years). The results showed that the TPB variables explained 19% (Adjusted R 2 ) of the variance in intentions, and that the extension variables gave a significant contribution to the explained variance (R 2 change = .04), after controlling for the impact of the TPB components. Age, gender and frequency of alcohol use had no significant impact on intention after controlling for the TPB components. Perceived behavioural control was the strongest predictor of intention (β = .25, p < .001), followed by moral norm (β = .16, p < .001), past behaviour (β = -.12, p < .001), descriptive norm (β = .09, p < .01) and subjective norm (β = .08, p<.05). Several group differences were found. The extended TPB model explained 27% and 17% (Adjusted R 2 ) of men's and women's intentions, respectively, and 40% and 20% (Adjusted R 2 ) of the variance in intentions among young and older passengers, respectively. The practical implications of these results for the development of interventions to motivate passengers not to ride with intoxicated drivers are outlined.Key words: drink-driving, theory of planned behaviour, descriptive and moral norm, past behaviour, age and gender differences, alcohol use.3

“…In the concrete case, they indicate the following: al. [33] found that higher scores on the questionnaire correlate with the behaviour such as not fastening a seat belt in the car, driving under the influence of alcohol, excessive speed, but also with involvement in traffic accidents. This result is in accordance with the findings of our research.…”
