Greek-affiliated college students have been found to drink more heavily and frequently than other students. With female student drinking on the rise over the past decade, sorority women may be at particular risk for heavy consumption patterns. The current study is the first to apply the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine drinking patterns among a sorority-only sample. Two-hundred and forty-seven sorority members completed questionnaires measuring TPB variables of attitudes, norms, perceived behavioral control, and intentions, with drinking behaviors measured one month later. Latent structural equation modeling examined the pathways of the TPB model. Intentions to drink mediated the relationship between attitudes and norms on drinking behavior. Subjective norms predicted intentions to drink more than attitudes or perceived behavioral control. Perceived behavioral control did not predict intentions but did predict drinking behaviors. Interpretation and suggestions from these findings are discussed.
研究发现，与希腊联谊会有关联的大学生比其他学生饮酒量更大且更频繁。在过去十年中，女学生饮酒现象呈上升趋势，联谊会女生可能尤其面临重度饮酒模式的风险。当前这项研究首次应用计划行为理论（TPB）来考察仅由联谊会成员组成的样本中的饮酒模式。247名联谊会成员完成了测量TPB变量（态度、规范、感知行为控制和意图）的问卷，一个月后测量饮酒行为。潜在结构方程模型检验了TPB模型的路径。饮酒意图在饮酒行为的态度和规范之间起中介作用。主观规范比态度或感知行为控制更能预测饮酒意图。感知行为控制不能预测意图，但能预测饮酒行为。本文讨论了这些研究结果的解释和建议。
