Book excerpt: Alcohol is a significant problem on university campuses, and rates of alcohol use and abuse are higher on college campuses than those found in the population at large (Rivenus, 1988). This study examines two constructs that may be related to alcohol behavior: purpose and locus of control. Moran (2009) defines purpose as: "an internal compass that integrates engagement in activities that affect others, self-awareness of one's reasons, and the intention to continue these activities" (p. 143). Locus of control refers to the degree to which a person takes responsibility over events in their life. There are two types of locus of control: internal and external (Rotter, 1975). An individual with an internal locus of control perceives that their actions influence events in their life, whereas an individual with an external locus of control believes that their actions have little to no influence over events in the life; instead, events in their life occur as a result of external factors, such as fate, chance, or luck. In this study, 138 undergraduate students were surveyed about their perceived purpose in life, locus of control orientation, and alcohol behaviors, including their drinking habits and experience with alcohol-related problems.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research shows that aspects of religion and spirituality can influence drinking behavior among university students. Some believe that an internalized commitment to God, or to another spiritual force, is an important component in explaining relationships between religion, spirituality, and drinking behavior. One way of understanding and measuring this internalized commitment to God is based on attachment theory. Another way of measuring and understanding internalized beliefs about the degree to which God shapes behavior is based on the social learning theory concept called locus of control. Conceptually, low God locus of control indicates that one believes God is passive and not involved in decisions pertaining to drinking. Research shows that college or university students who have anxious God attachments are likely to experience negative consequences as a result of binge drinking. These individuals believe God is inconsistent in their lives. Likewise, low (passive) God locus of control (LOC) seems to increase drinking and negative consequences from drinking. In this study, 19 students (15 males, 4 females) attending Abilene Christian University (ACU) participating in a Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) program completed the following four measures: Attachment to God Inventory (AGI), Alcohol-related God Locus of Control Scale for Adolescents (AGLOC-A), General Drinking Questionnaire, and Negative Outcomes of Drinking were assessed to determine if attachment to God and God LOC impacted their drinking. Results indicated that low (passive) God locus of control was associated with increased drinking and that anxious attachment to God was associated with negative consequences of drinking. Implications are discussed.

Book excerpt: The current study investigated the relationship between health-related-posts on social media and health-related behaviors. Participants (n = 91) were recruited to view one of four researcher-created Facebook profiles, which varied on exercise/health behaviors and alcohol use. They completed a variety of measures assessing aspects pertaining to health-related behaviors, such as locus of control and social physique anxiety, as well as intent to exercise and consume alcohol in the near future. They were then instructed to bring the questionnaire to a second researcher one floor above and it was noted whether or not the participant took the stairs. Results suggest that individuals who viewed the fit profile were more likely to take the elevator, if they had a high locus of control. There was no difference in intent to exercise or drink alcohol among those who viewed differing profiles.

Maccombs and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The misuse of alcohol and other drugs has a significant negative impact worldwide, in the United States, and particularly among vulnerable young adults. Undergraduate college students face additional risks for alcohol or drug use due to the significant transitions occurring in their personal, social, and environmental lives. The consequences of alcohol or drug use to the college student population and relevant stakeholders are well documented. To prevent and mitigate the negative consequences of college students’ alcohol or drug use, it is essential to understand factors that predict those behaviors. More specifically, it imperative to understand factors that predict alcohol or drug use that results in negative consequences, or problematic use. Psychological distress and impulsivity have been identified as predictors of other high-risk behaviors among college students, but their predictability of problematic alcohol or drug use among the undergraduate college student is not yet fully understood. Gaps in the literature regarding the psychological distress, impulsivity, and substance-using behaviors among this population include a lack of focus on drugs other than alcohol, a lack of differentiation between problematic and non-problematic use, and significant variability in the definitions and operationalization of alcohol and drug use related variables. The primary purpose of the present study with 481 participants was to investigate whether psychological distress (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) and impulsivity among undergraduate college students between the ages of 18 and 25 could predict problematic alcohol or drug use. A secondary aim of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between problematic alcohol use and problematic drug use. Findings indicated that impulsivity was predictive of problematic alcohol use, and depression and impulsivity were predictive of problematic drug use. Neither anxiety nor stress were predictive of problematic alcohol or drug use among this sample. Findings also indicated a statistically significant small to moderate association between problematic alcohol use and problematic drug use.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociotropy and autonomy are two cognitive personality dimensions, or personality styles, that have been implicated in the way individuals may uniquely develop, experience, and respond to treatment for depression. The goal of the current study was to investigate whether these cognitive personality dimensions are differentially related to drinking motivations and alcohol-related behaviors among college students. Participants included 311 college students (Mage = 23.1, 63% male) recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk. Results partially supported hypothesized relationships showing that generally, those higher in sociotropy were more likely to endorse external motivations for drinking (i.e. social and conformity motives), while those higher in autonomy were more likely to endorse internal motivations for drinking (i.e., coping motives). Moreover, results showed that sociotropy moderated the relationship between social drinking motives and binge drinking, and that gender did not impact this result. In comparison, autonomy moderated the relationship between coping drinking motives and alcohol-related negative consequences, and this relationship varied as a function of gender. Findings provide initial evidence that sociotropy and autonomy are differentially related to student drinking motivations and alcohol-related behaviors. Research that is sensitive to the heterogeneous nature of the development, maintenance, and treatment for depression may yield important treatment implications when considering alcohol misuse among college students.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "College students who have been mandated to alcohol-related interventions are an understudies population. As a result, little is known about the variables which are important in explaining these students' intentions for high-risk alcohol consumption. Deepening understanding of the underlying motivational factors associated with alcohol-related intentions in this population could lead to more effective interventions and prevention strategies aimed at decreasing alcohol harms. For this purpose, the current study is the first to examine the theory of planned behavior (TPB; Ajzen, 1991) as a statistically predictive model for alcohol-related intentions among college students mandated for intervention. A sample of 77 mandated college students completed questionnaires measuring the TPB variables of attitdue, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention to drink to intoxication. Regression analyses were used to test the explanatory power of the TPB for intention to drink to intoxication, after controlling for social desirability. Further, the impact of impulsivity and aversiveness of alcohol-related consequence (Barnett et al., 2006) were tested alongside the TPB variables as an extension of the theory. Results showed partial support for the TPB in explaining alcohol-related intentions in this sample of college students who were mandated for alcohol intervention. In particular, attitude and subjective norm explained unique variance in intention to drink to intoxication in the sample even after controlling for the variance accounted for by social desirability. Exploratory analyses revealed that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control explained unique variance in intention to drink to intoxication for participants who were the heaviest and most frequent drinkers in this sample, which suggested that the TPB was fully supported for this subsample of students. Neither impulsivity nor aversiveness of alcohol-related consequence improved the TPB's explanatory power. Practice implications for alcohol prevention and intervention development are discussed as well as directions for future research."--Abstract.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous literature provides an overview of the multiple relationships between alcohol use, protective behavioral strategies (PBS), alcohol-related negative consequences, depression, and sleep problems among college students, as well as differences by individual level characteristics, such as age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Several studies have found that specific demographic groups of students are more likely to reach a higher blood alcohol content (BAC) when 0́−partying0́+ or socializing (Turner, Bauerle, & Shu, 2004; Crotty, 2011). A variety of studies have also confirmed the positive relationship between high blood alcohol content and experiencing alcohol-related negative consequences (Turner, et al., 2004; Martens, Taylor, Damann, Page, Mowry, & Cimini, 2004; Borden, Martens, McBride, Sheline, Bloch, & Dude, 2011; Crotty, 2011). Additional studies have explored the role that protective behaviors play in the alcohol consumption-negative consequences relationship (Martens et al., 2004; Borden et al., 2011; Haines, Barker, & Rice, 2006; Martens, Martin, Littlefield, Murphy, & Cimini, 2011). These studies conclude that the frequency of protective behavior use and the number of these behaviors that are used when consuming alcohol are associated with the likelihood of a student experiencing negative consequences. Specifically, the negative relationship between protective behavior use and likelihood of experiencing negative consequences as a result of binge drinking is stronger for students who rarely use protective behaviors (Martens et al., 2004). Recent studies have also explored the role that depressive symptoms play in a model with alcohol use and alcohol-related negative consequences. The prevalence of college students who were diagnosed with depression in the last school year presents a great need to study its relationship with these constructs. Students with poor mental health or depression are also more likely to experience alcohol-related negative consequences (Weitzman, 2004), and there is a direct association between depressive symptoms and negative consequences, but not necessarily between alcohol use and depressive symptoms (Vickers, Patten, Bronars, Lane, Stevens, Croghan, Schroeder, & Clark, 2004). One study also suggests that protective behaviors partially mediate the relationship between depressive symptoms and negative consequences (Martens, Martin, Hatchett, Fowler, Fleming, Karakashian, & Cimini, 2008). Further, students with depressive symptoms who use protective behaviors drink less and experience fewer negative consequences, as compared to students without depressive symptoms who use protective behaviors (LaBrie, Kenney, Lac, Garcia, & Ferraiolo, 2009). Sleeping problems play an important role in the relationship between alcohol consumption and alcohol-related negative consequences. Poorer global sleep quality is associated with alcohol-related negative consequences after controlling for alcohol use. Further, among heavier drinkers, those with poorer sleep quality experienced greater levels of negative consequences than those who had better sleep quality (Kenney, LaBrie, Hummer, & Pham, 2012). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between alcohol use measured by estimated Blood Alcohol Content (eBAC), PBS, depression, and sleep problems, as they explain the variance of alcohol-related negative consequences using the spring 2009 national aggregate data set of the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA). This dataset was comprised of a random sample of undergraduate and graduate students from 117 U.S. colleges and universities (n=53,850). Reliability analyses, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used for model specification and evaluation. Model fit indices for the current study indicate that the model and the data in this study are a good fit, demonstrated by RM.S.EA= .044, 90% CI (.044, .044) and SRMR= .066. Findings suggest that an additive effect of eBAC, PBS, depression, sleep problems, and certain demographics explain 39% of the variance in alcohol-related negative consequences and greatly impact the amount of harm that college students may experience as a result of their alcohol use. Results from the current study may assist clinicians and health educators who want to improve the probability that they will be able help reduce negative consequences among college students when they drink alcohol. These staff may engage students in a conversation about risk reduction (e.g. one on one consults, campus-wide media campaign) and also provide support for conducting brief screenings about alcohol so that clinicians may be more effective in helping students to reduce alcohol-related negative consequences. The results from this study may also assist researchers in finding more relationships that account for some of the unexplained variance in this study. Interpreting these predictive relationships are important to the way that students are screened for alcohol problems on college campuses, as well as decisions that college students make about alcohol in the greater context of healthy lifestyle decisions. Future research could include repeating the analysis with each race/ethnicity separated out instead of as a dichotomous variable (white/non-white), conducting a similar analysis with each negative consequence instead of as a scale, developing a more complete sleep problems scale within the ACHA-NCHA with improved reliability, and a further investigation into the positive correlation between sleep problems and depression in order to explore other variables that mediate the relationship between depression and sleep problems among college students.
