Aims. Past research has examined the association of cultural orientation with drinking
motives and drinking outcomes, mainly, at the country level or in participants from a single
region. This study examined the indirect associations of features of cultural orientation (i.e.,
vertical individualism, vertical collectivism, horizontal individualism, horizontal
collectivism; VI, VC, HI and HC, respectively) with alcohol outcomes (i.e., use and negative
consequences) via drinking motives in college students from seven countries (n = 4093,
72.8% female). Methods. Participants completed an online survey reporting alcohol use,
experienced alcohol-related problems, drinking motives and cultural orientation. Results. VI
was significantly indirectly associated with drinking outcomes mainly via positive
reinforcement motives. VC and HC were indirectly associated with drinking outcomes via
conformity motives; although the association was negative for HC and positive for VC.
Although most of the associations between variables were invariant across countries, a few
differences emerged. Conclusions. Overall, our findings suggest that the vertical component
of individualism and the horizontal component of collectivism might operate as risk or
protective factors, respectively. The small effect sizes of some paths also suggest that other
variables could be mediating the association between cultural orientation and alcohol
outcomes. [-]
