Collegiate Drinking Behavior: A Test of Neutralization Theory.

Dodder, Richard; Hughes, Stella P.

Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v33 n1 p73-85 Fall 1987

Surveyed drinking patterns and problem-related behavior of 534 college students. Modified Norris-Dodder Neutralization Scale for juvenile delinquency to measure orientations toward drinking. Results indicated that greater acceptance of neutralizations related consistently to greater quantity and frequency of drinking as well as to more drinking-related problem behavior. (Author/NB)
