Drinking Problems

The drinking problems of 156 Israeli college students were examined in 1986. The data suggest alcohol is used and negative behavior is exhibited with its use. Compared to research on United States college students' drinking problems, lower drinking activity appears to exist in Israel. This exploratory study is viewed as an initial step towards a systematic assessment of college students' alcohol use throughout Israel.

Gender is a strong predictor of death penalty support and views in the United States, with men being more supportive and punitive than women. This exploratory study was undertaken to determine whether these same differences would be present in Japan, a nation that also imposes the death penalty. Students at a Japanese university and a U.S. university were surveyed. While the proportion of students supporting the death penalty in the United States and Japan were similar, U.S. women were less supportive and less punitive than U.S. men, while Japanese women were more likely to support the death penalty and hold more punitive views than Japanese men.

Adjustment Outcomes

Separate literatures have examined the associations between psychological adjustment and microaggression, and overt discrimination; whether microaggression is related to adjustment outcomes above and beyond overt discrimination and neuroticism remains unclear. I examined the extent to which racial microaggression explained unique variances of negative affect, alcohol consumption, and drinking problems while controlling for overt discrimination and neuroticism among Asian, Black, and Hispanic American college students (N = 713, 50.9% women, Mage = 22.72 years). Intervening roles of psychological distress linking microaggression and overt discrimination to adjustment outcomes were also tested. Among Blacks, microaggression and overt discrimination did not consistently predict psychological adjustment. Among Asians and Hispanics, microaggression and overt discrimination predicted negative affect via psychological distress. Microaggression also explained the variances of alcohol use outcomes among Asians. Findings are discussed in the context of an acute racism reactions model and underscore the importance of considering overt discrimination and microaggression simultaneously as determinants of psychological adjustment.
