Fromme, Kim; Rivet, Kathy

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v23 n1 p85-97 Feb 1994

Retrospective questionnaires and prospective monitoring measures were used to test the trait of coping styles of 105 college students as predictors of their weekly alcohol consumption. Individuals reporting deficits in emotion focused and avoidant coping strategies drank more often than subjects with other styles of coping. Measurement methodology is also discussed. (SLD)
