This investigation traces the development of alcohol-related knowledge and attitudes of 228 children aged 5.5-10.5 years, using methods adapted from a study by Jahoda and Cramond (Children and Alcohol. HMSO, 1972). Preliminary results indicate that attitudes have changed little over the past 20 years. Young children's attitudes remain distinctly negative towards adult drinking, and are particularly negative in relation to women drinkers. As age increased, this negativity intensified. Moreover, girls were more condemnatory of women drinkers than were boys. The results are described in terms of a socio-cognitive theory of attitude development. The implications for primary intervention strategies are also discussed.
本调查追踪了228名年龄在5.5至10.5岁之间儿童与酒精相关的知识和态度的发展情况，采用了改编自贾霍达和克兰蒙德（《儿童与酒精》。英国皇家文书局，1972年）一项研究的方法。初步结果表明，在过去20年里态度变化不大。幼儿对成年人饮酒的态度仍然明显消极，对女性饮酒者的态度尤其消极。随着年龄的增长，这种消极情绪加剧。此外，女孩比男孩更谴责女性饮酒者。研究结果依据态度发展的社会认知理论进行了描述。同时也讨论了对初级干预策略的启示。
