Protective Factors Associated with Alcohol Use among College Students: A Contextual Perspective

Artikel in Turks verschenen onder de titel: Üniversite Ögrencilerinde Alkol Kullanimini Yordayan Koruyucu Etkenlerin Baglamsal Kuram Üzerinden Arastirilmasi.

Abstract
Utilizing Boszormenyi-Nagy and Krasner’s (1986) Contextual Theory, the current study investigated the association
between frequency of alcohol use, relational ethics, empathy, coping skills, and volunteering. The sample included 220
college students in Istanbul, recruited through an online survey study. Results indicated that youth who volunteered
in social responsibility projects, had functional coping strategies and high levels of empathy, consumed alcohol less
frequently, as compared to their counterparts. In addition, youth’s role in the family as well as perceived loyalty and
fairness to their families-of-origin were protective factors against frequent alcohol use. Current findings reveal the
utility of considering youth’s relational patterns in his/her family-of-origin and level of civic engagement as protective
factors in alcohol abuse prevention programs, targeting emerging adults.
