A Social Ecological Assessment of Physical Activity among Urban Adolescents
Physical activity promotion interventions need to target physical activity environments and social contexts in a sex-specific manner
Reliability and Validity of the Glover-Nilsson Smoking Behavioral Questionnaire
The GN-SBQ shows promise as a tool for distinguishing behavioral from physical nicotine dependence
Hurried Driver Dispositions: Their Relationship to Risky Traffic Behaviors
More research is needed into identifying the underlying motivational factors of hurried drivers and what countermeasures will be most effective for them
Social Context of Drinking and Alcohol Problems Among College Students
Objective-To examine how social contexts of drinking are related to alcohol use disorders, other alcohol-related problems, and depression among college students.Methods-Logistic regression models controlling for drinking frequency measured the association between social context and problems, among 728 current drinkers.Results-Drinking for social facilitation was associated with drinking and driving and housing violations.Drinking in the context o…
Does the Type of Exposure to a Roadside Sobriety Checkpoint Influence Driver Perceptions Regarding Drunk Driving
Relation of Parent-Teen Agreement on Restrictions to Teen Risky Driving Over 9 Months
Parental Monitoring and Adolescent Drinking: Results of a 12-month Follow-up
The longer term protective relationship between parental monitoring and alcohol involvement was demonstrated. The need to establish frequent parental monitoring is indicated
Parents’ Intended Limits on Adolescents Approaching Unsupervised Driving
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which parents intend to place driving limits on adolescents approaching unsupervised driving. A total of 658 parents and their 16-year-old adolescents were recruited from a local Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration site as adolescents successfully tested for provisional licenses. Parents completed written surveys about parent-adolescent relations and anticipated adolescent unsupervised dr…
Parental Monitoring and Adolescent Alcohol Risk in a Clinic Population
The need to enhance parental monitoring as a proactive protective parental response is indicated
Family Involvement, Problem and Prosocial Behavior Outcomes of Latino Youth
The family context is critical to the prevention of problem behaviors and the promotion of prosocial behaviors among Latino adolescents
A Comparison of Teen Perceptions and Parental Reports of Influence on Driving Risk
Programs that enable parents to restrict and supervise their teen's driving, especially during the first 6 months of provisional licensure, are indicated
Parental Predictors of Teen Driving Risk
The need to increase parents' capacity to impose and enforce driving restrictions on provisionally licensed teen drivers is indicated
Parenting Strategies Regarding Teen Behavior: Parent and Teen Perceptions
Effects of ignition interlock license restrictions on drivers with multiple alcohol offenses: A randomized trial in Maryland
OBJECTIVES: This investigation sought to test the effectiveness of a statewide ignition interlock license restriction program for drivers with multiple alcohol-related traffic offenses. METHODS: A total of 1387 multiple offenders eligible for license reinstatement were randomly assigned to participate in an ignition interlock program (experimental group) or in the conventional postlicensing treatment program (control group). The arrest rates of t…
A survey of parent attitudes and practices regarding underage drinking
Impact of higher alcohol prices on alcohol-related attitudes and perceptions of suburban, middle-class youth
A model of parental involvement in adolescent drinking and driving
Development and Validation of a Condom Self-Efficacy Scale for College Students
This study proposed to develop and validate a scale for the college population that measures self-efficacy in using condoms. The Condom Use Self-Efficacy Scale (CUSES) was derived from several sources and consisted of 28 items describing an individual's feelings of confidence about being able to purchase condoms, put them on and take them off, and negotiate their use with a new sexual partner. This scale was administered to a sample of 768 colleg…
Personality Correlates of the Jenkins Activity Survey
Over 700 college students were measured with the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS) along with eleven other personality scales in an attempt to identify the personality correlates of this scale. These eleven personality variables were analyzed to determine their contribution to a discriminant solution between extreme high scores (supposedly true Type A's) and low scores (supposedly true Type B's) as measured by the JAS. The results revealed that relat…
The Effects of Risk Probability, Outcome Severity, Efficacy of Protection and Access to Protection on Decision Making: A Further Test of Protection Motivation Theory
The effects of different types of risk information in a simulated decision-making task were investigated to test the predictions of protection motivation theory. In accordance with predictions, outcome severity, efficacy of protection, and access to protection were related to protective decisions. The results are discussed in terms of general utility of this model for a variety of decision-making situations. The aspect of manageability, which is …
The Effects of False Physiological Feedback and Subject Relevance Upon Belief Acceptance
A conceptual replication and extension of Giesen and Hendrick's (1974) false physiological feedback experiment was performed. Bogus heart rate of different intensities as well as meter feedback indicative of affective types of arousal was presented to smokers and nonsmokers as they viewed an anti-smoking communication. Consistent with Giesen and Hendrick's intensity hypothesis, intensity feedback facilitated message acceptance while the type of f…
A Conceptualization of Threat Communications and Protective Health Behavior
The effects of health threat communications have generated considerable empirical and theoretical attention. Inconsistent findings in the appeat' literature suggest that the effects of these types of messages are not completely understood. Previous theoretical approaches have tended to focus upon the emotional (fear) reaction produced by exposure to threatening health information. However, the weight of the experimental evidence indicates that ce…
Predicting Smoking Intentions and Behaviors From Attitudes, Normative Beliefs, and Emotional Arousal
College undergraduate smokers and nonsmokers were exposed to a persuasive anti-smoking communication. Measures were taken of their emotional arousal, attitudes toward smoking, perceived attitudes of family and friends, and intentions to engage in a variety of smoking-related activities. A follow-up measure of their behavior was taken one to two weeks af tar-ward. It was predicted that the influence of emotional state upon intentions and behavior …
