“…This finding is in accordance with previous research (Slutske et al, 2004;Wechsler et al, 1995). Binge drinking is related to several adverse effects (Connor et al, 2010;Tefre et al, 2007;Wechsler et al, 1995), and preventive initiatives among students seem warranted. With regard to binge drinking, it should also be recognised that research pertaining to suitable cut-offs is needed.…”

Aims: This study investigates demographic, personality, and psychological health correlates of different drinking patterns. Design: Students at the four largest institutions of higher education in Bergen municipality were invited via email to complete an internet-based questionnaire. The final sample size was 11,236 (39.4%), mean age 24.9 years (SD ¼ 6.5), and 63.3% were women. The survey included the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) and questions about demographics, personality traits, and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Binary logistic

“…This is consistent with studies in other populations that have demonstrated a link between early alcohol use and sexual risk at an older age [19, 20] and suggest that the age of drinking onset may be an important marker for studies of HIV sexual risk behaviors in Russia.…”

“…For example, early initiation of alcohol use can be directly associated with later problematic use of alcohol and sexual risk behaviors [19, 20]. Indirect links are also suggested because an early onset of alcohol use is associated with a large number of alcohol related problems and heavy alcohol use patterns [21, 22], while heavy drinking patterns and binge drinking are associated with sexual risks such as unwanted pregnancies, sexual coercion, sexually transmitted infections or multiple sexual partners [23–25].…”

This study investigates whether age at first alcoholic drink is associated with sexual risk behaviors among injection drug users (IDUs) and non-IDUs who are sexual partners of IDUs in St. Petersburg, Russia. A path analysis was used to test a model of age at first drink, age at sexual debut, age at first drug use, current substance use patterns and current sexual risk behaviors among 558 participants. Results revealed that age at first drink had an effect on multiple sex partners through age at sexual debut and injection drug use, but no effect on unprotected sex. Age at first drug use was not related to sexual risk behaviors. Investigation of age of drinking onset may provide useful information for programs to reduce sexual risk behaviors and injection drug use. Different paths leading to unprotected sex and multiple sexual partners call for different approaches to reduce sexual risk behaviors among this population.

“…Estimates of the percentages of heterosexual undergraduate men who have consented to unwanted sexual activity that did not involve coercion or force range widely from 12% to 94% (Connor, Gray, & Kypri, 2010;Muehlenhard & Cook, 1988;O'Sullivan & Allgeier, 1998;Palmer, McMahon, Rounsaville, & Ball, 2010). The wide variability in these findings is probably due to differences in the non-coercive activities included for assessment.…”

This study sought to determine whether the variables of the Sexual Self-control Model that predict sexual resourcefulness and consenting to unwanted sexual advances in undergraduate women also apply to undergraduate men. A sample of 124 males completed the Self-Control Schedule that assesses general learned resourcefulness and also the Sexual Resourcefulness Inventory, Sexual Self-Efficacy Scale, Reasons for Consenting to Unwanted Sexual Advances Scale, and Sexual Giving-in Experiences Survey. As hypothesized and paralleling the results for women, higher levels of general learned resourcefulness and sexual self-efficacy, and fewer reasons for consenting to unwanted sexual advances predicted higher levels of sexual resourcefulness in men. Contrary to the previous findings in women, lower sexual resourcefulness was not a unique predictor of consenting to unwanted advances in men. Instead, a mediation model was supported, whereby males having more reasons for consenting to an unwanted sexual activity were more likely to comply despite having higher levels of sexual resourcefulness skills. In addition, men's consenting experiences and sexual resourcefulness skills were observed to be significantly lower than women's. Study limitations and implications for future research are discussed.KEY WORDS: undergraduate men, sexual resourcefulness, sexual self-efficacy, unwanted sexual compliance, reasons for compliance Key features of the sexual control model as applied to women Kennett et al.'s (2009) sexual self-control model attempts to understand the psychological factors empowering women to better deal with a broad range of non-coercive unwanted sexual advances, including dancing, kissing, sex play (petting), oral sex, and vaginal intercourse. General learned resourcefulness, a key component to this model and a well researched construct in many other aspects of health (
