“…This is again somewhat consistent with the literature, including previous Canadian studies (e.g., Hundleby, 1987;Rasic et al, 2011). The association could be attributed to the fact that university students who report strong religious affiliation are more likely to be invested in religions that preach abstention from alcohol or moderation in its consumption, coupled with the higher levels of religious faith reported in the present sample by females than by males (t = 2.05, p < .05).…”

“…Finally, Bock, Cochran, and Beeghley (1987) also found that religious involvement deterred heavy alcohol use among a sample of Americans (see also Galen & Rogers, 2004;Wells, 2010). Although Hundleby (1987) and Rasic, Kisely, and Langille (2011) looked at the association between religiosity and alcohol use in Canadian adolescents, to our knowledge, there has to date been no investigation of such a relationship among Canadian university students.…”

Abstract:There is a lack of recent research exploring the differences between binge and non-binge drinkers among Canadian university students. The current study aims to address this gap in the literature through an exploratory statistical analysis. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were employed to identify the prevalence of binge drinking, as well as its various sociodemographic, behavioural, and mental health correlates. A large majority (83.1%) of the 507 respondents reported consuming alcohol in the previous 12 months; of these, 69.7% (67.0% of males, 70.9% of females) reported engaging in binge drinking (5 drinks in one session for males, 4 for females) at least once in the previous 30 days. Although there was no significant gender difference in the prevalence of binge drinking, there were several gender differences among the correlates. Compared to non-binge drinkers, male binge drinkers reported greater life satisfaction, and greater probability of smoking cigarettes and engaging in risky sex, while females reported greater impulsivity and lower religiosity. As expected, binge drinkers experienced more adverse consequences from alcohol consumption than did non-binge drinkers, but unexpectedly did not differ significantly in mental health and wellbeing. Limitations of the present study and future research directions are discussed with a view to improving our understanding of risk and protective factors related to unhealthy alcohol consumption among university students in Canada and abroad.Keywords binge drinking; alcohol research; university students; Canada; mental health Tamara Edkins MA is a student in the Faculty of Law at the University of Manitoba, 224 Dysart Rd., Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2.

“…Similar findings were reported for a national sample of adolescent females: self-reported behaviors at age 15-17 such as fighting and use of marijuana and other drugs were predictive of bearing a child by age 21 (Elster, Ketterlinus, & Lamb, 1989). Other studies have noted correlations between delinquency and drug use (Levine & Singer, 1988); premarital pregnancy and drug use (Yamaguchi & Kandel, 1987); sexual behavior, delinquency, drug use, and school misbehavior (Hundleby, 1987); and problem drinking, marijuana use, delinquency, and early sexual intercourse (Donovan, lessor, & Costa, 1988). An understanding of any of these problems might be fostered by identifying factors that underlie all of them.…”

A developmental theory of reckless behavior among adolescents is presented, in which sensation seeking and adolescent egocentrism are especially prominent factors. Findings from studies of automobile driving, sex without contraception, illegal drug use, and minor criminal activity are presented in evidence of this. The influence of peers is then discussed and reinterpreted in the light of sensation seeking and adolescent egocentrism. Socialization influences are considered in interaction with sensation seeking and adolescent egocentrism, and the terms narrow and broad socialization are introduced. Factors that may be responsible for the decline of reckless behavior with age are discussed.

“…Moreover, those studies that have examined the relationship between involvement and delinquency have employed measures that focused primarily on participation in structured extra-curricular activities (see, e.g., Kempf, 1993 for a review of this literature) or on composite measures of sociability that included activities varying in both structure and visibility (e.g., Hundleby, 1987;Lotz & Lee, 1999;Wallace and Bachman, 1991;Warr, 1993). !…”
