Binge Drinking and Protective Behavioral Strategies among Greek and Non-Greek College Students
Niitepold, Maria
ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Antioch University
One of the most problematic habits of college students, binge drinking, has been of particular interest among researchers as a result of the increased risk of harm experienced by students engaging in this high-risk behavior. Fraternity and sorority students have also come under scrutiny for habitually engaging in binge drinking and experiencing significant levels of negative consequences as a result. Little is currently understood about the differences between Protective Behavioral Strategy (PBS) use of Greek and non-Greek students. The aim of this study was to examine the differences in rates of binge drinking and PBS use among Greek and non-Greek students. This study also examined which PBS were used more frequently among fraternity, sorority, and non-Greek students. Results indicated that Greek students engaged in higher rates of binge drinking and utilized PBS at greater rates than their non-Greek peers. Male Greeks favored PBS such as drinking with friends, watching out for friends who have drank too much, using a designated driver, and eating a meal before drinking. Female Greeks favored similar PBS with the exclusion of eating a meal before consuming alcohol. These findings may help inform Greek-specific interventions to educate and help reduce risk of harm due to alcohol consumption on college campuses.
