This study examined gender differences in alcohol consumption and problem behaviors among fraternity and sorority college students. Males were more likely to drink 13+ drinks at one time; females were more likely to drink 1-3, 4-6, and 7-12 drinks. Females experienced more problems at the 4-6 level; number of problems experienced were approximately equal at the 7-12 and 13+ levels. The correlation between consumption and problems was stronger for females (r = 0.58) than for males (r = 0.42). Problem behaviors might be due to individual differences or environmental forces acting upon individuals. Longitudinal studies should investigate possible causal pathways to inform the design of interventions for this at-risk population.
本研究调查了男女大学生联谊会成员在饮酒量和问题行为方面的性别差异。男性一次饮用13杯及以上酒水的可能性更大；女性饮用1 - 3杯、4 - 6杯以及7 - 12杯酒水的可能性更大。女性在饮用4 - 6杯时出现的问题更多；在饮用7 - 12杯和13杯及以上时出现的问题数量大致相同。饮酒量与问题行为之间的相关性在女性中（r = 0.58）比在男性中（r = 0.42）更强。问题行为可能是由于个体差异或作用于个体的环境因素导致的。纵向研究应调查可能的因果路径，以便为针对这一高危人群的干预措施设计提供依据。
