Going against the Norm: A Mixed Methods Analysis of College Students’ Arguments against the College Drinking Culture
Objective College alcohol beliefs (e.g. “College is a time for experimentation with alcohol”) are highly predictive of heavy drinking and its consequences. Yet, current college alcohol interventions do not address this belief system even though researchers have recommended that these beliefs be targeted. Method Using a mixed methods approach, we conducted two studies to generate arguments against the college drinking culture and to evaluate the e…
It’s Not All Smoke and Mirrors: The Role of Social Norms, Alcohol Use, and Pandemic Partying in e-Cigarette Use During Covid-19

This is the way we were raised”: Alcohol beliefs and acculturation in relation to alcohol consumption among Native Americans
Native Americans have the highest rates of alcohol use in comparison to other ethnic groups, placing them at risk for experiencing alcohol-related problems. The present study examined the beliefs that some Native Americans may have related to alcohol use; specifically, the belief that alcohol is a key component in Native American cultures. To assess these beliefs, we developed the Stereotypical Alcohol Beliefs Scale for Native Americans (SABSNA).…
Personality Factors, Money Attitudes, Financial Knowledge, and Credit‐Card Debt in College Students 1
The issue of credit‐card debt among college students has received increasing attention. This study explored factors hypothesized to be causes and effects of credit‐card debt in 448 students on five college campuses. Students reported an average of $1,035 ( SD =$1,849) in debt, including students without credit cards or credit‐card debt. Lack of financial knowledge, age, number of credit cards, delay of gratification, and attitudes toward credit‐c…
Self-prediction: Exploring the parameters of accuracy
We conducted four studies to explore people's self-prediction processes. Study I examined the types of information people report using when making self-predictions. Five categories of information were determined. Studies 2 and 3 examined the relation between the use of different categories of information and self-prediction accuracy. Using correlational and experimental methodologies, these two studies demonstrated the utility of attending to per…
The relative accuracy of self-predictions and judgments by others in psychological assessment
The validity of individuals' self-assessments is compared with other assessment procedures commonly used in psychological evaluation. Comparisons are made in the prediction of all criteria that have been investigated: intellectual achievement, vocational choice, job performance, therapy outcome, adjustment following hospitalization, and peer ratings. Self-assessments are at least as predictive of these criteria as are other assessment methods aga…
The relationship of time investment and task outcome to causal attributions and self-esteem1
This study examined the relationship between performance outcome, time spent working at a task, and attributions to ability versus effort. It also explored differences in performance time as a function of self-esteem and task-performance expectancies. Subjects worked on a series of concept-attainment items and then were given either success or failure feedback regarding their performance and also information that they had worked either faster or …
