ABSTRACT
This present study aims to examine the individual and social factors, the predictors and moderators of alcohol consumption during COVID-19 lockdown in Romania. In a community sample of 262 participants, we found gender and age differences on the alcohol consumption during the first two months of the outbreak. In addition, we also found that gender, age, and social influence positively predicted alcohol consumption during the lockdown. The research also explored the moderating role of age and gender in predicting the alcohol consumption during COVID-19 lockdown. The results revealed that only gender moderates the link between social influence and alcohol consumption during the outbreak. These results have practical implications by suggesting the need of designing prevention actions or interventions for this at-risk group.

Utilizand un esantion de 262 de participanti, din comunitate (75% femei, M = 27,21, SD = 9,28), am gasit diferente la nivelul varstei si genului in ceea ce priveste consumul de alcool pe parcursul primelor doua luni de carantina. In plus, rezultatele au aratat ca genul, varsta si anturajul prezic pozitiv consumul de alcool pe parcursul carantinei. In cadrul acestui studiu, au mai fost analizate si posibilul rol moderator al genului si al varstei pentru prezicerea consumului de alcool pe parcursul carantinei. Rezultatele au aratat ca doar genul modereaza legatura dintre anturaj si consumul de alcool in timpul carantinei instituite din cauza pandemiei de COVID-19 (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
