DESCRIPTION: As the Abstract in the ERIC database described, this journal discusses a group of 343 tenth-graders that was studied measuring demographics, family characteristics and influences, drug and alcohol use, perception of driving skill, and personality factors. Females used drugs/alcohol more often. Males used the automobile more to enhance self-efficacy. Few significant gender differences appeared in analysis of risky driving while intoxicated situations. However, female attitudes toward DWI appeared more socially acceptable. The major descriptions in this journal are: attitudes, personality traits, risk, self-efficacy, and sex differences. And the minor descriptions are: adolescents, drinking, drug use, family influence, and traffic accidents.

DESCRIPTION: As the Abstract describes, this journal investigates the empirical derivation of clinically and theoretically meaningful subtypes among males arrested for driving while intoxicated. Five subtypes were defined through cluster analysis of driving -- attitudinal, personality, and hostility measures. Two subtypes were found to have particularly high levels of risk-enhancing traits. The major descriptions are: drinking, individual differences, personality problems, and personality traits. And the minor descriptions are: behavior patterns, cluster analysis, drug abuse, and males.

DESCRIPTION: As the Abstract described in the ERIC database, this journal studies over 1300 high school students examined gender differences in the social context of drinking associated with 4 alcohol problem behaviors (high intensity drinking, binge drinking, driving while intoxicated, and riding with an intoxicated driver). Student surveys revealed significant multivariate interaction effects between gender and all four problem behaviors.
