Esquemas iniciais desadaptativos e o consumo de álcool em universitários

Abstract

Schema Therapy explains dysfunctional behaviors and perceptions of oneself, others, and the world from Early Maladaptive Schemes. Thus, the behavior of alcohol consumption by university students has been the focus of many researches in order to understand better planning interventions for treatments and awareness programs about risk consumption. The aim: The aim of this study is to understand the relationship between early maladaptive schemes and alcohol consumption in college students, identifying and classifying alcohol consumption, which are the most frequent EIDs within the sample and what possible correlations may exist between alcohol consumption and EIDs. Method: Data collected from 194 university students were analyzed using the answers obtained from the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and the Young Schemes Questionnaire (YSQ-S3) applied. Results: Most of the sample consists of women, with risk consumption and presence of the Mistrust/Abuse, Vulnerability and Negativism/Pessimism schemes between students with alcohol consumption. Significant correlations were found between the AUDIT score and the schemes of Dependence and Entitlement schemes. Conclusion: The presence of schemes is unrelated to alcohol consumption, although high scores from AUDIT are positively related to high scores in specifics schemes.
