Social ease in drinking situations among college students
Abstract:
The relationship between student comfort in social situations involving drinking and various student characteristics was investigated on two midwestern college campuses. Background variables such as parental drinking and childhood religion were correlated with social ease. Best friends' drinking habits and subjects' reported alcohol consumption rates were also correlated with social ease. The results suggest that early experiences with alcohol influence student ease in drinking-related situations. Present exposure to drinking situations is also suggested as a factor in student ease. Implications for alcohol education programming are discussed.
