“…No behavior comes under the exclusive dominance of a particular generation, either peers or parents. When the issues involve immediate gratifications, such as drug use, smoking (Cresswell, Huffman, & Stone, 1970;Horn, Courts, Taylor, & Solomon, 1959;Laoye, 1970), drinking (Alexander & Campbell, 1967;Haer, 1957), sports and other youth activities (Coleman, 1961), cheating (Wilder, Friedman, Hill, Sandis, & Sieber, 1968), or delinquency (Glueck & Glueck, 1951;Hirshi, 1969;Short, 1957), adolescents tend to be particularly responsive to pressures from members of their own generation. When the issues involve future life goals and behaviors which do not contravene adult standards, adolescents tend to be more responsive to the parental generation (Kandel & Lesser, 1972)?…”

To investigate inter‐ and intragenerational influences in adolescent marijuana use, a survey was undertaken on a representative sample of public secondary school students in New York State. Independent data were obtained from adolescents, their parents, and their best‐school‐friends. These relational data document the crucial role which members of the same generation play in adolescent illegal drug use. Involvement with other drug‐using adolescents is a more important correlate of adolescent marijuana use than is parental use of psychoactive drugs or alcohol (which provides a small influence). Inter‐ and intragenerational influences are synergistic, however. The highest rates of marijuana usage are observed among adolescents whose parents and best friends are drug users. Interactional generational factors influence levels of intragenerational influences. Implications of these data for parental and peer influence, the generation gap, and social change are discussed.

“…Numerous studies of both clinical alcoholic samples (e.g., Dahlgren, 1979;Gomberg, in press;Jacob & Bremer, 1986) and general population samples (e.g., Corbett, Mora, & Ames, 199 1; Hammer & Vaglum, 1989; Kolonel & Lee, 198 1) have reported strong positive associations between women's drinking behavior and that of their husbands or partners. However, it is not clear whether husbands have a stronger influence on wives' drinking (Haer, 1955; R. Wilsnack & S. , wives have a stronger influence on husbands' drinking (Cronkite & Moos, 1984), or both partners influence each other roughly equally (Roberts & Leonard, in press). It is also unclear how much of the matching of drinking patterns between marital partners may result from assortative mating (drinkers choosing similar drinkers as partners; e.g., Jacob & Bremer, 1986).…”

lthough scientific research on human alcohol consumption dates A back at least to studies of psychomotor and cognitive effects of al-coho1 conducted in the mid-MOOS, research that focused specifically on women's drinking was relatively rare before the 1970s. A comprehensive literature search in the early 1970s (Sandmaier, 1980) found only 28 English-language articles on alcohol use or alcohol problems in women, compared with hundreds of published studies of male drinking. Reasons for the early neglect of women in alcohol research most likely included the higher prevalence of drinking and problem drinking among men than among women, the fact that men's problems with alcohol (e.g., alcoholrelated crime, accidents, or work problems) tended to be more visible than those of women, and the greater accessibility of men alcoholics as research subjects (e.g., in predominantly male Veterans Administration hospitalsThe 1981-1991 national longitudinal study of women's drinking reported in this chapter was supported hy Research Grant 5 R37 AA04610 from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, National Institutes of Health.

“…MacAndrew i Edgerton (1969) oraz Winkler (1969) twierdzą, że sposoby i praktyki picia w danym społeczeństwie są wynikiem kontaktów z innymi społeczeństwami. Haer (1955), Alexander (1964, Alexander i Campbell (1967) oraz Maddox (1968) zauważają, że nawyki ludzi dotyczące picia alkoholu mają tendencję do przypominania nawyków grup, z którymi obcują. Z eksperymentów Caudill i Marlatt (1975) oraz Garlinton i Dericco (1977) wynika, że ludzie mają skłonność do picia alkoholu w ilościach, podobnych do tych, jakie konsumują osoby w ich aktualnym, najbliższym otoczeniu.…”
