Gender differences in the relationship of drinking motivations and outcomes

The Journal of Psychology
R S Carman, C Holmgren

Abstract

Questionnaire data were used to test the hypothesis that stated motivations for drinking would be more directly related to drinking outcomes among adolescent girls than among adolescent boys. Evidence in support of this hypothesis was found, and we suggest that this gender difference might be due to different norms and role expectations in regard to drinking by boys and men and girls and women in our society.
