This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consequences of alcohol and substance use include immediate and long-term impacts on health and well-being. College students who are already engaging in problematic alcohol use and facing legal consequences are at an increased risk. Students who are cited for alcohol violations are more likely to consume greater amounts at higher frequencies and be at greater risk for negative drinking-related consequences than the general college population. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was first to evaluate the psychometric properties of a measurement designed to measure protective behavioral strategies, motives and expectancies, and self-efficacy and attitudes, critical constructs related to alcohol and substance use. Next, the resulting scales and established measures of alcohol and substance use and related consequences were used to measure the effectiveness of the Youthful Offenders Program (YOP), a community-based diversionary program based in motivational interviewing that incorporates alcohol and other substance-based skills and protective behavioral strategy training. A total of N = 363 students voluntarily agreed to participate in the study to examine changes in alcohol and substance-use related behaviors over time. Results revealed sound psychometric structure for the five subscales for use in program evaluation and suggest that YOP significantly reduced hazardous drinking, especially for those engaging in hazardous drinking prior to the intervention. Among both males and females, no changes in utilization of protective behavioral strategies related to safe drinking practices were observed from pre- to post-intervention, though baseline endorsement of PBS was universally strong. Among females, no changes in the newly identified measures were identified. For males, significant increases in attitudes and self-efficacy related to awareness of indicators of problematic substance use were observed, suggesting positive impacts of program participation. Significant increases in positive alcohol and substance-use related expectancies and coping motives were also observed among males, and among males not engaging in hazardous drinking prior to the intervention, increases in behaviors related to quick intoxication were revealed, suggesting possible negative impacts of program participation. Further research is needed to better understand the relationship between decreased use, healthier attitudes, and greater self-efficacy with increased endorsement of positive expectancies, coping motives, and quick intoxication behaviors. It is possible that increased self-efficacy surrounding signs of problematic substance use may inadvertently signal to participants that they are inoculated against negative consequences of use if they do not exhibit such signs. Similarly, participants may believe that utilization of safe drinking practices protects them from negative consequences of substance use.

Alcohol Use and Misuse by Young Adults addresses the latest medical and psychological research in the field of alcohol studies and raises crucial issues regarding alcohol use and abuse among college-aged adults.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of two different types of alcohol education interventions on the attitudes about alcohol consumption in college, knowledge about alcohol, and self-reported alcohol consumption behavior of college students. The educational interventions were a student-centered CD-Rom interactive program, and a teacher-centered motivational speaker. Each intervention took approximately 60 minutes. The research was conducted at a small public university in Northern New York. Nine classes with a total enrollment of 360 students were randomly selected for the research. The demographic makeup of the sample was similar to that of the overall university population, including gender, class level, membership in Greek organizations and age. Three classes were randomly assigned to the CD-Rom program, three classes were randomly assigned to hear a motivational speaker, and three classes were randomly assigned to a control group. The instrument used was the Student Alcohol Questionnaire (SAQ). Students in all classes completed the SAQ four weeks after the Fall, 1999 semester began. The interventions were conducted the following week. The SAQ was administered again four, eight and twelve weeks post-intervention. Two measures of alcohol consumption behavior were used: A continuous variable measure of both amount of alcohol consumed and consequences related to intoxication, and a dichotomous variable for "heavy drinking," which is defined as more than five drinks in a row at least once a week. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to test for differences across attitude, knowledge and behavior and bivariate combinations of these outcome variables by group. No statistically significant differences were found on any of the post-interventions measures for any combination of aftitude, knowledge or behavior. Analysis of covariance was used to test for behavior difference alone, using the pre-intervention questionnaire results as the covariate. No statistically significant differences were found for behavior alone. Multiple regression techniques were used to determine if alcohol consumption behavior, as measured on the continuous scale, could be predicted by gender, grade point average, class level or religion. Gender (p .000) was the only predictor variable that was statistically significant, with men students consuming more alcohol than women students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attitudes are evaluations of people, places, things, and ideas. They help us to navigate through a complex world. They provide guidance for decisions about which products to buy, how to travel to work, or where to go on vacation. They color our perceptions of others. Carefully crafted interventions can change attitudes and behavior. Yet attitudes, beliefs, and behavior are often formed and changed in casual social exchanges. The mere perception that other people—say, rich people— favor something may be sufficient to make another person favor it. People’s own actions also influence their attitudes, such that they adjust to be more supportive of the actions. People’s belief systems even change to align with and support their preferences, which at its extreme is a form of denial for which people lack awareness. These two volumes of The Handbook of Attitudes provide authoritative, critical surveys of theory and research about attitudes, beliefs, persuasion, and behavior from key authors in these areas. This second volume covers applications to measurement, behavior prediction, and interventions in the areas of cancer, HIV, substance use, diet, and exercise, as well as in politics, intergroup relations, aggression, migrations, advertising, accounting, education, and the environment.
