Models for Student Drinking and Smoking: Parents or Peers?

Standing, Lionel; Nicholson, Bruce

Social Behavior and Personality, v17 n2 p223-29 1989

Surveyed drinking and smoking patterns of college students (N=259) by means of a self-report questionnaire. Determined subjects' level of drinking corresponded to behavior of their parents for first two years on campus, and then shifted to that of their friends, although smoking behavior did not show this chronological trend.
