  • The Association of Alcohol Consumption with Self-Reported Illness in University Students

    Open AccessRuth C Engs, Marlene Aldo‐Benson et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1995

    Many reports over the years have indicated an association between alcohol consumption and infectious illness among chronic heavy drinkers; however, many patients in these studies have been chronically ill. Thus the question of whether alcohol can appreciably influence immunity in humans and affect the incidence of infectious diseases remains largely unanswered. For this study over 1,100 undergraduate students from a general education course at a …

    Open AccessRuth C Engs, David J HansonARTICLEPsychological Reports1993

Among Light-Moderate drinkers, a significantly higher proportion of students who had played a drinking game experienced 15 of 17 drinking-related problems. On the other hand, amo…

  • Responders vs. Non-responders to a Mail Survey

    Louis Gliksman, Cynthia Smythe et al.ARTICLECanadian Journal of Program…1992

    One of the major methods of data collection used in both formative and outcome evaluations and descriptive studies is the survey method. With survey methods, the issues of generalizability and representativeness of the data are crucial, particularly when response rates are low. A common survey method is the use of mailed questionnaires. However, even when care is taken to select potential respondents randomly, the validity of the responses depend…

  • Reactance Theory

    Open AccessRuth C Engs, Ruth Engs et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1989

    Reactance theory suggests that attempting to prevent alcohol consumption among underage college students will create reactance motivation and lead to increased drinking among such students. Since July of 1987, it has been illegal throughout the USA for those under 21 yr. of age to purchase alcohol. In a national sample of 3,375 college students during the 1987–1988 academic year, significantly more underage students were found to drink. This rela…

    Open AccessRuth C Engs, David J HansonARTICLEPsychological Reports1986

    Of 4,266 students at 72 USA colleges in 1984–1985, characteristics of subsamples of students from states that had a minimum drinking age of 21 yr. ( N = 1,328) and from those that had a minimum age below 21 yr. ( N = 1,292) were analyzed. The results suggest few differences in drinking problems between students from the two categories of states; however, these few differences favor states with higher drinking ages
