Aims:  The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of intention and habit in predicting adults’ drinking behaviour within the home setting. Measures:  A convenience sample of 414 Australians aged between 35 and 60 were recruited through targeted Facebook advertising. Eligibility criteria for study participation included reporting consuming alcohol at least once a week at home. Participants completed self-report measures of alcohol consumption, habit strength regarding home drinking behaviour, and intentions to consume alcohol. Differences in home drinking controlling for age and gender, by level of habit, and intention were examined using ANCOVA. Results:  Increases in intention were associated with an increase in home drinking. However, with habit and intention entered in the same model, only habit was a significant predictor of the amount of alcohol consumed in the home. For Australians, habit is a stronger predictor of alcohol consumption than intention. Conclusions:  Given that a large proportion of people are doing the majority of their drinking when at home, home-based interventions which target the habitual nature of home consumption may help to reduce consumption and related harm.

习惯和意愿对成年人在家饮酒的解释作用

目的:本文的目的是调查意图和习惯在预测成年人在家中饮酒行为中的作用。措施:通过有针对性的 Facebook 广告招募了 414 名年龄在 35 至 60 岁之间的澳大利亚人的便利样本。参与研究的资格标准包括报告每周至少在家饮酒一次。参与者完成了关于饮酒、家庭饮酒行为的习惯强度和饮酒意向的自我报告测量。使用 ANCOVA 检查了家庭饮酒控制年龄和性别、习惯水平和意图的差异。结果:意向的增加与家庭饮酒的增加有关。但是,由于习惯和意图被输入到同一个模型中,唯一的习惯是在家中饮酒量的重要预测因素。对于澳大利亚人来说,习惯比意向更能预测饮酒量。结论:鉴于很大一部分人大部分时间都在家里喝酒,针对家庭消费习惯性的基于家庭的干预措施可能有助于减少消费和相关危害。
