Kevin Synnott and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of clarifying students' misperceptions regarding their peers' consumption of alcohol and feelings of comfort in drinking situations. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to determine if providing students with information would impact on their perceptions. A posttest-only control-group experimental design was employed to investigate the efficacy of clarifying students' misperceptions. The experimental group was provided with information gleaned from the literature regarding students' misperceptions. Participants were administered a questionnaire developed for this study to determine: (a) their drinking habits (i. e., frequency and quantity), (b) how comfortable they feel in drinking situations, (c) their perceptions regarding their peers' drinking habits, and (d) their perceptions regarding how comfortable their peers feel in drinking situations. The findings included: (a) students overestimated the alcohol consumed by their peers; (b) students inaccurately believed that their peers are more comfortable in drinking situations than they are themselves; and (c) information appears to have clarified female students' misperceptions associated with feelings of comfort in drinking situations. A theory grounded in reality (Corbin

This book was released on 1993 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parental attitudes and student attitudes toward the consumption of alcoholic beverages, between parental attitudes toward the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the reasons students drink alcoholic beverages, and between parental attitudes toward the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the frequency and quantity of alcoholic beverages consumed by students. The Alcohol and Other Drug Survey and the Survey of Parental Attitudes were employed. The sample included 389 sets of matched pairs of parent and student from Radford University, Virginia. Analysis included descriptive statistical techniques, Multiple Linear Regression to predict outcomes, and Pearson r to describe correlations between variables. Based on the results of the study, the following conclusions were reached: 1. There is a significant relationship between parental attitudes and student attitudes toward alcohol consumption, but this is brought about by the difference of opinion in condoning or not tolerating the use of alcohol. 2. There is a significant relationship between the parental attitude "condone use" and students consuming alcohol because "it tastes good" and "to get drunk." 3. There is a significant relationship between the parental attitude "condone use" and students consuming five or more drinks in a row. 4. It was concluded that student peer attitudes, student religion, and parental attitudes about alcohol were significant predictors of student attitudes toward alcohol consumption. 5. There is a substantial difference in the percentage of students who condone drinking as compared to parents responding similarly. 6. Important findings revealed students to be much more tolerant of drinking behavior that parents overwhelmingly felt placed people at risk of harming themselves. 7. Interesting data revealed that students are much more accepting of drunken behavior and drinking games. 8. The primary reasons students gave for drinking alcoholic beverages included "to have a good time with friends," "to fit in with peers," and "to get wasted," with parents being most tolerant of their son/daughter consuming alcohol "to have a good time with friends.

Download or read book Alcohol Use Knowledge and Attitudes Among Freshman Women written by Logan Rhodes Hazen and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of alcohol on freshman women during the critical transition into college. Specifically, the study focused on differences in knowledge of alcohol facts and attitudes toward use of alcohol among freshman women prior to college. Further, the study focused on changes in use of alcohol, knowledge of alcohol facts, and attitude toward use of alcohol among freshman women during their initial term of college. To provide background, demographic characteristics based on level of alcohol use were compiled. The subjects in this study were 132 entering freshman women attending Oregon State University in fall 1979. The data used in testing the hypotheses under investigation were collected during summer 1979 and during the first weeks of winter term 1980. Alcohol use and alcohol use group classification were determined by a Quantity-Frequency instrument. The Student Alcohol Questionnaire measured the subjects' knowledge of alcohol facts. The attitude instrument measured attitude toward intemperate (excessive) use of alcohol. The hypotheses developed to test initial differences in knowledge of alcohol facts and attitude toward use of alcohol were tested utilizing the analysis of variance. Where significance was indicated, further analysis was conducted with the Student-Newman-Keuls procedure to determine specific initial differences among alcohol use groups. Paired t-tests were utilized to analyze changes in use of alcohol, knowledge of alcohol facts, and attitudes toward alcohol use for the total sample and individual use groups. The .05 level of significance was required for all tests. The results of the study indicated: 1. There were no significant differences in knowledge of facts about alcohol among entering freshman women based on their level of alcohol use. 2. There were significant differences in attitude toward the use of alcohol among the entering freshman women. a. The abstaining group of freshman women were significantly the least tolerant of intemperate use of alchol by themselves and others. b. The infrequent drinking group of freshman women supported intemperate drinking by themselves and others to a significantly greater extent than the abstaining group. c. The infrequent drinking group of freshman women were significantly less tolerant of intemperate use of alcohol by themselves and others than the light, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women. d. The light, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women's attitudes toward intemperate use of alcohol were not significantly different from each other. e. The light, moderate and heavy drinking groups of freshman women endorsed intemperate drinking by themselves and others to a significantly greater extent than the abstaining and infrequent drinking groups of freshman women. 3. There was a significant increase in the use of alcohol among the freshman women at the end of their first term of college. 4. There was a significant increase in knowledge of alcohol facts among the freshman women at the end of their first term of college. a. There was a significant increase in knowledge of alcohol facts among the light, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women at the end of their first term of college. b. There was no significant change in knowledge of alcohol facts among the abstaining and infrequent drinking freshman women. 5 There was a significant increase in tolerant attitudes toward use of alcohol among the freshman women at the end of their first term of college. a. There were significant increases in favorable attitude toward intemperate use of alcohol among infrequent and light drinking freshman women at the end of their first term of college. b. There were no significant changes in attitude toward intemperate use of alcohol among abstaining, moderate and heavy drinking freshman women at the end of their first term of college.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract. Binge drinking, a form of excessive alcohol consumption, is a behavior most common among college students worldwide. Past research has shown this practice to have many negative consequences as well as changing fads and trends. Objective. The purpose of this study was to assess the individual and environmental characteristics that affect excessive alcohol consumption behaviors and trends through the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Participants. A total of 445 undergraduate students from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse participated in the study in March-April of 2014. Participants completed surveys consisting of demographic items as well as items related to alcohol consumption, Theory of Planned Behavior constructs, self-efficacy, and social belonging. Methods. Data were analyzed using logistic regression and analysis of variance. Results. Results indicated a significant correlation between binge drinking and subjective norm, positive attitude, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention to binge drink. Conclusions. Future binge drinking interventions should target 21-22-year-old college students through strategies related to changing perceptions regarding social approval and expectations, attitudes toward binge drinking, and intentions to binge drink.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alcohol consumption and on college campuses has long been a significant problem. The severity of the situation and lack of effective alcohol programming on college campuses warranted the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism to commission a Task Force on College Drinking in 2002, which has been vital in revealing drinking patterns and negative consequences which are specific to the college environment. The Task Force proposed three strategies that were empirically validated for prevention and intervention in the college setting. Of the three recommendations, implementing cognitive behavioral skills training and offering motivational enhancement interventions, while proven effective are costly and time consuming to implement. The final strategy recommended, challenging alcohol expectancies, has been validated for use in a group setting making it a more viable option for reaching larger audiences. Within the college environment there are certain factors that have shown to be important in influencing college students' drinking behaviors, attitudes toward drinking, and alcohol related negative consequences. Specifically, membership in a fraternity or sorority has revealed a unique predictor of risky drinking behavior and an increased risk of suffering from negative consequences related to alcohol. The purpose of the present study was to implement an expectancy-based presentation in Greek chapter houses to alter expectancies and decrease risky drinking behavior. Alcohol expectancies were measured before and immediately after the presentation. Alcohol consumption was also assessed in a self-report measure of drinking for the 30 days prior to the presentation as well as 30 days following it. Analyses revealed significant reductions in positive alcohol expectancies and alcohol consumption on measures of quantity (average drinks per sitting), frequency (average drinking days per week), and heavy episodic drinking (average weekly peak blood alcohol content). Therefore, the structure and effectiveness of the current intervention program proves extremely useful and practical for widespread implementation in Greek chapter houses across all college campuses.
