Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about the way you...

Cross-Sectional Research

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Sociology
Psychology

Background:

Understanding college student drinking behaviors is crucial for public health initiatives.
Responsible drinking beliefs and practices among young adults require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To qualitatively explore responsible drinking beliefs and behaviors in college students.
To quantitatively assess the prevalence of these responsible drinking behaviors.
To identify potential gender and ethnic variations in responsible drinking.

Main Methods:

A mixed-methods approach was utilized, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection.
The study involved 13 participants for the qualitative phase and 729 for the quantitative phase.
A partially mixed sequential dominant status design (qual → QUAN) was employed.

Main Results:

Seven distinct themes related to responsible drinking were identified, some containing harmful elements.
Quantitative data supported qualitative findings, revealing significant gender differences in perceived frequency of responsible behaviors.
Ethnic differences were observed, with White participants attaching less necessity to certain responsible drinking behaviors.

Conclusions:

This research provides an initial exploration into the evidence-based characteristics of responsible drinking.
Findings suggest a need for nuanced approaches to responsible drinking education, considering gender and ethnicity.
Further research is warranted to refine the understanding and promotion of responsible alcohol consumption among college students.
