Download or read book College Drinking written by George W. Dowdall and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking is recognized as one of the most important problems confronting students on campus today, with major impacts on health and safety.This book answers crucial questions about why students drink, examines its complex links to campus crime and sexual assault, and offers new insights on how to address the issue.It differs from other studies of college drinking by dispelling the myth that the problem is universal. Dowdall’s research reveals that the incidence of alcohol abuse varies enormously between colleges, and in doing so identifies interventions and policies that have been effective, and those that have failed. His study is also unique in looking “upstream” at the broader cultural, organizational and social forces that shape this behavior, where most studies focus only on “downstream” behaviors, well after students have selected their college and have started drinking. Students and parents can take action to lower the risk of binge drinking by following the book’s recommendations, and consulting the data it provides about alcohol violations and crime at thousands of colleges. For administrators and student affairs personnel, it both defines and illuminates the issue, and outlines effective interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was designed to examine relationships between drinking norms and alcohol use among college students while considering the role of both interpersonal and intrapersonal moderators of this relationship. College students (N=127) who drank at least once during the previous three months reported on their alcohol use, their attitudes toward drinking, perceived drinking norms, relational self-construal, and demographics. Detailed information pertaining to participants' drinking and support social networks were elicited via an interview. It was hypothesized that perceived norms would be related to drinking such that norms reflecting higher levels of alcohol use would be related to more alcohol consumption. This hypothesis was supported. Additionally, the direct and moderating influence of social network characteristics (i.e., size, density, functioning) on alcohol use were examined in a series of regression models. In models not including the influence of norms, drinking networks that were larger were predictive of higher levels of alcohol use. Closeness with network members predicted higher levels of binge drinking. When norms were included in the models, only minimal support was found for the moderating influence of social network characteristics. Satisfaction within the drinking network moderated the influence of norms on alcohol use such that for males, there was stronger normative influence for those high in satisfaction. Relational self-construal was hypothesized as an intrapersonal moderator of norms. This was true for males only, such that higher levels of relational self-construal were related to stronger norm conformity. The present study represents the first step in understanding the complex impact of social networks on alcohol use among college students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol use by young people is extremely dangerous - both to themselves and society at large. Underage alcohol use is associated with traffic fatalities, violence, unsafe sex, suicide, educational failure, and other problem behaviors that diminish the prospects of future success, as well as health risks â€" and the earlier teens start drinking, the greater the danger. Despite these serious concerns, the media continues to make drinking look attractive to youth, and it remains possible and even easy for teenagers to get access to alcohol. Why is this dangerous behavior so pervasive? What can be done to prevent it? What will work and who is responsible for making sure it happens? Reducing Underage Drinking addresses these questions and proposes a new way to combat underage alcohol use. It explores the ways in which may different individuals and groups contribute to the problem and how they can be enlisted to prevent it. Reducing Underage Drinking will serve as both a game plan and a call to arms for anyone with an investment in youth health and safety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A possible theoretical construct to lend additional explanation for problematic drinking is the Health Belief Model (Rosenstock, 1966). Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among social norms, health beliefs, and problematic drinking among college students. It is possible that personal health beliefs may influence students' decisions about drinking, in addition to their perceptions about how much and how often their peers consume alcohol. It is important to research a health theory that is designed to understand individual behavioral choices based on how they impact health and the possibility that this extends and mediates the already established relationship between social norms theory and problematic drinking behavior."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book excerpt: The Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS: Dimeff et al., 1999) is a program used in higher education institutions to reduce drinking outcomes. Level of dependence on alcohol is a global and multidisciplinary concern. The connections between mental health (anxiety and depression) have been well established in the literature. Other connections such as family history and personality dimensions are being further explored. This study reviewed the prevalence and consequences of alcohol use as well as the connections to the specific population of college students. Theoretical frameworks from Chickering and Baxter Magolda are discussed. Quantitative analysis including regression was used to examine the connections between level of dependence on alcohol with the mental health, familial history, and personality dimensions of college students. Results indicated that participants were predominately, male, white, 18-19 years-old, freshman or sophomore, domestic students, and resided in campus residence halls. Research question one results showed that gender is a moderator and that participants anxiety, other drug use, and number of consequences significantly predicted their level of dependence. In research question two, gender was again a moderator and self-efficacy was statistically significant and negative. Research question three showed that gender is a moderator and that anxiety, impulsivity, hopelessness, and self-efficacy were statistically significant. For this third model self-efficacy and hopelessness had negative beta scores.

Book excerpt: Dying to Drink will shock most parents, who see binge drinking from a distance and are pretty sure that their child isnt doing it or, if they are, that the activity is relatively harmless. Dr. Henry Wechsler, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, has some unpleasant news for them:Two of five college students binge-drink at least once per week.More students binge-drink than use illicit drugs or smoke cigarettes.Alcohol has been linked to one-half of all campus crime.The alcohol industry spends $1.8 billion a year in advertising, much of it targeted at college students.College students spend more annually on alcohol than on soft drinks, tea, milk, juice, coffee, and schoolbooks combined. Americas colleges are in crisis, and Dying to Drink will bring an understanding to readers not only of the seriousness of the problem but also how to combat it from an informed position.Dr. Wechsler and Bernice Wuethrich present an objective analysis of specific college alcohol policies and their effectiveness in this call to action for parents, colleges, and lawmakers. Dying to Drink is required reading for any parent sending his or her son or daughter off to school.

Download or read book The Use of Alcohol Among Undergraduate Students With and Without Social Anxiety and Its Relationship to Social Support written by Katherine Isabel Karbowski and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined the relationship between social anxiety, social support, and alcohol use among 186 college students from Central Connecticut State University. As predicted, scores on the college salience scale were positively related to alcohol use and Cooper's (1994) four drinking motives (social, coping, enhancement, and conformity). Furthermore, social support had a negative relationship with frequency of alcohol consumption but no significant relationship with any other variable of interest. Social anxiety was negatively related to frequency of alcohol use, but positively related to social, coping and conformity drinking motives. Multiple regression analyses indicated that college salience is strongly related to both frequency and amount of alcohol consumed and all four drinking motives, suggesting that college students who believe alcohol plays an important or large role in the college experience are more likely to drink more often and have more alcohol per occasion. Moreover, they were also more likely to use drinking for positive and negative reinforcement in hopes of attaining certain behavioral outcomes such as receiving positive social responses or to regulate negative emotional responses. This study contributes to the current research and is important because it adds to the current information regarding social support, social anxiety and alcohol use among college students.
