- Description:
- This study examined the relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and the felt perception of contributory peer influence among African American college students. A correlational research design was utilized in this study to examine whether there was a significant relationship between alcohol consumption and the felt perception of contributory peer influence. The instrument used to collect data was a self- administered survey with a total of 39 questions focusing on drinking behaviors, perception of peer influence, and demographic information. The sample population consisted of 42 students enrolled in either Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Spelman College, Morris Brown College, or the Interdenominational Theological Seminary located in Atlanta, Georgia. The findings indicated that 78.6 percent of the respondents drank alcohol in the last year and 64.3 percent considered themselves as light drinkers. The conclusions drawn from the study demonstrated that there is a significant statistical relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and peer influence.
