Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • College student drinking is prevalent, with 44% engaging in high-risk drinking.
  • High-risk drinking is defined as consuming 4+ (women) or 5+ (men) drinks in one sitting.
  • Self-perception is a critical aspect of college student development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between high-risk drinking and college students' self-perceptions.
  • To determine if alcohol consumption levels correlate with specific self-perception domains.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 210 college students (ages 18-22).
  • Alcohol consumption was categorized into Abstainers, Nonproblem Drinkers, and High Risk Drinkers.
  • Self-perceptions were measured using the Neemann-Harter Self-perception Profile for College Students.

Main Results:

  • A significant difference in Global Self-worth was found between abstainers and high-risk drinkers.
  • No significant differences in Scholastic Competence, Intellectual Ability, or Social Acceptance were observed across drinking groups.
  • High school alcohol use, GPA, and academic involvement also related to self-perceptions.

Conclusions:

  • High-risk drinking is associated with lower global self-worth in college students.
  • Targeted interventions for high-risk drinking may positively impact students' overall self-esteem.
  • Further research should explore the multifaceted influences on college student self-perception.
