“…These findings are consistent with previous research on feminine norms and drinking (Ricciardelli, Connor, Williams, & Young, 2001). The sexual fidelity norm was robustly associated with HED, such that the women in this sample who endorsed this norm were less likely to engage in HED.…”

Current literature suggests not only that men and women can conform to both feminine and masculine norms, but that women who adhere to certain masculine norms may be at greater risk for problematic alcohol use. This study examined conformity to both masculine and feminine norms, and how conformity to distinct norms influenced heavy episodic drinking and alcohol-related problems among a sample of underage college women (N= 645). Results demonstrated that the masculine norms risk-taking and emotional control were associated with increased HED, while the masculine norm power over women was associated with a decrease in HED. Traditional feminine norms, including modesty and sexual fidelity, were associated with a decrease in HED and alcohol-related problems. The feminine norm relational was associated with increased HED, while the norms thinness and appearance were associated with increased alcohol-related problems. The study's theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.

“…Furthermore, women who conform to traditionally stereotypical feminine norms, including being nurturing and caring for children, may find heavy drinking and intoxication to be incompatible with these norms (Ricciardelli, Connor, Williams, & Young, 2001). …”

“…DRSEQ factors are associated with frequency of alcohol consumption in university students (Baldwin et al, 1993) and there is a confirmed association between DRSEQ factor scores and both frequency and volume of consumption (Connor et al, 2000;Young, et al, 2006). These findings are maintained across prospective studies (Connor, et al, 2011;Young and Oei, 2000) .The DRSEQ differentiates problem/non-problem drinkers (Oei et al, 1998;Young, 1994) and high/ low risk community drinkers (Lee et al, 1999;Ricciardelli et al, 2001). It mediates the relationship between impulsivity and alcohol use in patients undergoing residential treatment (Gullo, et al, 2010).…”

Background: There are few valid clinical assessment instruments for cannabis. SelfEfficacy, or the ability of users to resist temptation, is a central feature of social cognitive theory. This study outlines the development and validation of the Cannabis Refusal Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CRSEQ), which measures the situational confidence to refuse cannabis. Method: One thousand two hundred and forty-six patients referred for cannabis assessment completed the CRSEQ including measures of cannabis consumption and dependence severity (Severity of Dependence ScaleCannabis, SDS-C). The CRSEQ was subject to independent exploratory (n= 621, mean age 26.88, 78.6% male) and confirmatory (n= 625, mean age 27.51, 76.8% male) factor analysis. Results: Three factors: Emotional Relief, Opportunistic and Social Facilitation were identified. They provided a good statistical and conceptual fit for the data. Emotional Relief cannabis refusal self-efficacy was identified as most predictive of cannabis dependence, after controlling for cannabis consumption. Conclusions:The CRSEQ is recommended as a psychometrically sound and clinically useful measure for cannabis misuse treatment planning and assessment.

Because college women's drinking rates now rival men's rates, the authors interviewed college women to ascertain how gender identity affected their drinking choices. Interpretative phenomenological analysis indicated that high-risk drinkers viewed their gender identity differently than did low-risk drinkers. Counseling implications are discussed.Keywords: gender identity, college women's drinking, interpretative phenomenological analysis Historically, researchers have documented gender differences in drinking patterns, concluding that men drink more than women (e.g., Borsari & Carey, 2006;Lewis & Neighbors, 2004). However, in the past decade, researchers have pointed to a convergence in the high-risk (HR) drinking rates of college men and women (American College Health Association, 2011; Johnston, O'Malley, Bachman, Schulenburg, & Miech, 2014;Piane & Safer, 2008;Wechsler et al., 2002). In fact, in the spring of 2011, a slightly higher percentage of college women than men reported drinking in the past 30 days (American College Health Association, 2011). Researchers have begun to raise concerns about the specific alcohol-related dangers to women, such as health consequences, sexual violence, unplanned sexual activity, and sexually transmitted infections (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 2007;M. A. Smith & Berger, 2010;W. B. Smith & Weisner, 2000), and have noted that women are starting to drink at earlier ages, which is a factor that has been positively correlated with developing alcohol dependence (see Likis-Werle, 2012, for a comprehensive review). Beyond these quantitative investigations, there is little research examining what contributes to these changes in women's drinking rates and, subsequently, how counselors can effectively intervene to change drinking behaviors. Some researchers have speculated that social and environmental factors have accelerated the trends in increased women's drinking. Piane and Safer (2008) PO Box 70701, Johnson City, Ricciardelli, Connor, Williams, and Young (2001) echoed this call, stating that women's drinking is worthy of study "in its own right" (p. 135). Exploring college women's gender identity (GI), or how they think about their biological sex, provides one avenue for responding to these calls. Hoffman, Borders, and Hattie (2000) defined GI as a fluid concept wherein a woman determines how well she fits with her idea of femininity and how much salience gender has for her. GI includes messages from family, peers, and society that a woman internalizes about how her sex should behave. In the post-women's liberation movement, as gender roles have become more egalitarian, the current generation of college women may not be bound by the same GI expectations as previous generations. Indeed, researchers in countries such as the Czech Republic (Kubicka & Csémy, 2008), New Zealand (Lyons & Willott, 2008, Australia (Sheehan & Ridge, 2001), and many others (Rahav, Wilsnack, Bloomfield, Gmel, & Kuntsche, 2006) have acknowledged the parallel between evolving socia...
