Effects of sex, race and year in college on self-reported drinking-related problem behaviors.
This research was conducted to study the effects of sex, race, and year in college on self-reported drinking-related problem behaviors. It was hypothesized that men would report more problem behaviors than women, white students would report more than Hispanic or black students, and an interaction of sex and race would be observed. The study was conducted at a middle-sized eastern college, where 181 students anonymously filled out a 17-item questionnaire. The design was a 3 (race) x 2 (sex) x 2 (year in college) factorial. The hypotheses for sex and race were confirmed. Investigation of whether these self-reported drinking-related problem behaviors are congruent with actual behaviors requires study.
