TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Factors associated with young adult alcohol abuse JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - Koch-Hattem, A. A1 - Denman, D. SP - 181 EP - 192 VL - 22 IS - 2 N2 - The present study examined correlates of alcohol abuse among university students which have been conceptually linked to the developmental transitions faced by this population. Individual and family developmental theories led to the hypothesis that sex role identity conflict and stresses within the student's family of origin would be positively related to alcohol abuse scores. As expected, an accumulation of family stresses was related to alcohol abuse scores for both men and women. However, for each sex only one of the four sex role conflict variables which were considered was significantly related to alcohol abuse scores. For women, this variable was femininity conflict, while for men it was affiliation conflict.
