Alva, Sylvia Alatorre; Jones, Malanie
Journal of Early Adolescence, v14 n4 p432-48 Nov 1994
Examined the role of two psychosocial stressors, self-concept and alcohol-related attitudes, in mediating alcohol use among Hispanic junior high school students and explored the link between the two factors in early adolescence. Concluded that Hispanic adolescents with more positive self-concepts and attitudes are less likely to use alcohol or to have friends who use alcohol. (AP)
