Peerdruck und Alkoholkonsum bei Jugendlichen aus drei Kulturen. Methodik: Sekundärdaten aus Süd-Afrika, Deutschland und den USA wurden analysiert. Ergebnisse: Peer-Einfluss korreliert positiv mit Alkoholkonsum in allen drei Stichproben. In der deutschen Stichprobe steht Freizeitmotivation in einem positiven Zusammenhang mit Alkoholkonsum. Geringe intrinsische / identifizierte Motivation bei amerikanischen und geringe identifizierte Motivation bei südafrikanischen Jugendlichen stehen in einen negativen Zusammenhang mit Substanzkonsum. Schlussfolgerungen: Peerdruck steht in den drei Stichproben mit Alkoholkonsum im Jugendalter in Beziehung, wogegen verschiedene Motivationsarten Alkoholkonsum in den drei Kulturen vorhersagen.

Additionally, the study looks at the relationship between specific types of leisure participation and their relationship with health variables, including social, physical, and emotional health. The sample was comprised of college undergraduates from three universities. Data were analyzed using zero order correlations and regression analyses. Overall, the data suggested that participation in leisure activities among college students is beneficial from a number of perspectives. Not only is participation associated with general contentment regarding the use of free time, but specific types of leisure activities are also associated with higher levels of perceived physical, mental, and social health. The implications for these findings are discussed, and a potential need for leisure education among college students is addressed.

The 2004 to 2008 multi-cohort study sample included 3,837 high school students (50% female; 91% mixed race; Mage = 14 years; SD = .83) in the Cape Town area of South Africa. Results of generalized multilevel models found peer factors (time spent with peers, injunctive friend norms, descriptive peer norms) and trait, but not state, leisure boredom significantly predicted past month alcohol use. Findings can inform alcohol prevention efforts and suggest both peer factors and trait leisure boredom are worthy targets for intervention. Specifically, supporting adolescents to effectively navigate experiences of leisure boredom may, in turn, reduce alcohol use.
