Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Introduction: Multiple factors, including psychological traits and external stressors, influence problematic drinking.This study examines whether problematic drinking can be a reaction to stress and negative emotions related to globalisation and explores the moderating role of personality in this relationship.Material and methods: Data were collected via an online survey of 208 university students in Poland, including 173 women (83%) and 34 men (16%).The average age of participants was 25.1 years (M = 23, SD = 7.42).The tools used to measure the variables were the Polish adaptation of the Interna-Streszczenie Wprowadzenie: Na problemowe picie wpływa wiele czynników, w tym cechy psychologiczne i stresory zewnętrzne.W niniejszej pracy badamy, czy problemowe picie może być reakcją na stres i negatywne emocje związane z globalizacją oraz badamy moderującą rolę osobowości w tej relacji.Materiał i metody: Dane zebrano za pomocą ankiety internetowej od 208 studentów uniwersytetu w Polsce, w tym od 173 kobiet (83%) i 34 mężczyzn (16%).Średni wiek uczestników wynosił 25,1 roku (M = 23, SD = 7,42).Do pomiaru zmiennych użyto Krótkiego Kwestionariusza do pomiaru Wielkiej Piątki (IPIP-BFM) w polskiej adaptacji, polskiej Discussion: The obtained results are in line with research confirming the biopsychosocial model of dependence, and more specifically, the interaction between environmental and intrapersonal factors; personality and experiencing the negative aspects of globalisation may be related to the higher probability of problematic drinking.Conclusions: These findings contribute to the understanding of how globalisation-related stress and personality traits interact in shaping alcohol-consumption behaviours.Future research should incorporate longitudinal and experimental procedures and include other maladaptive coping behaviours.
