Two hundred and sixty-three alcohol using college students completed a questionnaire on their levels of alcohol use, problems with alcohol use, reasons for drinking, perceptions of control over drinking, impulsivity, venturesomeness, irrational beliefs, neuroticism, expectations of alcohol effects, depression, social norms, religious affiliation and intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity. Analyses of variance revealed that students with no religious affiliation reported significantly higher levels of drinking frequency and quantity, getting drunk, celebratory reasons for drinking and perceived drinking norms than those of either Catholic or Protestant religious affiliation, while no significant differences across groups were found for alcohol use problems. Protestants reported significantly higher levels of perceived drinking control than Catholics. Intrinsic religiosity, reflecting one's ego involvement with the tenets of one's religion, appeared to play a more important positive role over drinking behavior for Protestants than for Catholics.
263名饮酒的大学生完成了一份关于他们饮酒水平、饮酒问题、饮酒原因、对饮酒控制的认知、冲动性、冒险性、非理性信念、神经质、对酒精作用的预期、抑郁、社会规范、宗教归属以及内在和外在宗教虔诚度的问卷。方差分析显示，无宗教归属的学生报告的饮酒频率和饮酒量、醉酒情况、庆祝性饮酒原因以及感知到的饮酒规范显著高于天主教或新教宗教归属的学生，而在饮酒问题上各群体之间未发现显著差异。新教徒报告的饮酒控制感显著高于天主教徒。内在宗教虔诚度反映了一个人对其宗教教义的自我投入，对于新教徒而言，它在饮酒行为上似乎比天主教徒发挥了更重要的积极作用。
