| Abstract: | Nine different behavioral responses to alcohol by over two hundred ninth-graders in Austin, Texas, were examined in a survey
designed to identify the relationship between adolescents' alcohol use, religious affiliation, religiosity, and gender. The
relationship between alcohol use and family adaptability was also examined. While religious affiliation was found to be mildly
predictive of use, religiosity determined only specific behavior. Gender differences in alcohol use appeared to be narrowing.
Family adaptability was the most predictive variable, showing a relationship with six of the nine kinds of alcohol behavior.
Future studies of family influences on adolescents' alcohol behavior and alcohol use among females are recommended. |
