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.

Book The Role of Self esteem in the Alcohol Risk Process of College Students

Download or read book The Role of Self esteem in the Alcohol Risk Process of College Students written by Sarah L. Pedersen and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on self-esteem's role in the alcohol risk process has been inconclusive. Alcohol expectancy research has increasingly examined factors, such as environmental context or personality traits that may activate the expectancies people hold for drinking. One potential role self-esteem may play in the alcohol risk process is as an individual difference characteristic that activates alcohol expectancies. Individuals with high self-esteem are more likely to make internal rather than external attributions for success in social contexts and are more likely to disregard information about potential negative consequences that can occur from engaging in risky behavior. In the present study, we hypothesized that high self-esteem would decrease the association of both positive (social) and negative alcohol expectancies with drinking behavior. Participants were 420 college age youth (mean age = 19.49, SD = 1.48). Regression analyses indicated a significant interaction between global self-esteem and negative alcohol expectancies. Contrary to hypothesis, these findings indicate that individuals with high self-esteem are more likely to act in accordance with their negative expectancies about drinking. These results provide evidence that self-esteem may influence the salience or activation of specific alcohol outcome expectancies.
