Alcohol consumption on college campuses is high, and often dangerous. College administrators have created policies to control alcohol consumption, but student body support or opposition of specific policies has been relatively unexplored.
The current study examined the relations of alcohol policy support with gender and alcohol consumption. Mandated students (N=229; 44% women) completed self-report assessments of alcohol policy support and alcohol consumption.
Women supported policies to a greater extent than did men, as did lighter drinkers relative to heavier drinkers. Drinks per drinking day fully mediated the relation between gender and alcohol policy support.
While alcohol policy support differs by gender, this covariation is explained by differences in alcohol consumption. Findings have implications for addressing alcohol policy support among mandated college students.
大学校园里的酒精消费很高,而且通常很危险。高校管理人员已经制定了控制酒精消费的政策,但学生对特定政策的支持或反对程度还相对未知。
本研究考察了酒精政策支持与性别和酒精消费之间的关系。被强制要求(N=229;44%为女性)参与的学生完成了对酒精政策支持和酒精消费的自我报告评估。
女性比男性更支持政策,而且与重度饮酒者相比,轻度饮酒者更支持政策。饮酒量在性别与酒精政策支持之间的关系中起完全中介作用。
尽管酒精政策支持因性别而异,但这种差异可以用酒精消费的差异来解释。这些发现对解决被强制要求的大学生的酒精政策支持问题具有启示意义。
