Resumen

Consumir alcohol es una conducta de riesgo frecuente en adolescentes. Una forma de prevención es obtener información sobre los componentes cognitivos involucrados, como la Perspectiva Temporal (PT), referida a la tendencia a orientarse hacia el pasado, el presente o el futuro. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la relación entre PT, percepción de riesgo y consumo de alcohol (Estudio 1) y determinar si un programa de intervención basado en enfatizar una orientación Futura reduciría el consumo de alcohol y aumentaría la percepción de riesgo (Estudio 2). Setenta y cinco adolescentes participaron en el estudio. Los resultados mostraron que un sesgo hacia el presente aumentaría la probabilidad de incurrir en conductas de riesgo y una orientación futura actuaría como factor protector. La mitad de los adolescentes participó en la intervención y su percepción de riesgo aumentó, sugiriendo que la PT podría minimizar la probabilidad de incurrir en conductas de riesgo.
