| dc.description.abstract | Alcohol consumption is a large part of the social lives of many university
students. Prior research examining the relationship between alcohol use and academic
performance of students has been inconclusive. This study explored the relationship
between attitudes toward academics and alcohol using the Theory of Planned Behavior
(TPB), with a sample of 606 University of Wisconsin Oshkosh students. The results
indicated that student attitudes toward academics do not provide a strong control on
student alcohol consumption. However, parents’ attitudes toward drinking exert an
influence on drinking behavior as does the drinking behavior of peers. | en |
