Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Binge drinking motivation in young people

Comments

Hey! Your topic is very interesting and i may have some more information for you.

I found a study on gender differences in binge drinking for young college students. it has a range of information that could help with the definition and what can be classified for binge drinking for male and female in more detail.

What motivates people to binge drink?

Social motives are a key reason why young adults binge drink. A study by Kuntsche et al. (2005) examined motivational forces behind binge drinking. The study found that most people drink for social motives, some indicated enhancement motives but only a few reported coping motives. Social motives are correlated with moderate alcohol use. Thus, young adults are likely to drink excessively if they have strong social motives.

Good luck! --U3034876 (discuss • contribs) 23:51, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

A fascinating chapter so far, with binge drinking being such a prevalent issue in this generation I can't wait to see more. I feel your chapter will benefit more from more research and content and some color too. Otherwise this has the bones of a great and educational read. --Ekclements (discuss • contribs) 04:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Your topic looks really interesting! It seems you've still got a bit to do on your chapter, but I found this article which may be relevant to your section on TPB in predicting binge drinking. This study tested the efficacy of TPB variables in predicting binge drinking, but also assessed the role of 'prototypes' (i.e. the image people have of the “typical binge drinker”). I thought you could maybe include a sentence on this at the end of the TPB section, suggesting additional variables (e.g. prototype similarity) may be included in the model, which account for extra variance over standard TPB constructs. Hope this helps!
Also - I'm sure you've noted in your research, but I found it interesting that PBC was inversely associated with intention to binge drink (which is the opposite relationship to TPB predictions and most other voluntary behaviours). I guess this suggests young people feel pressured into drinking and find that in social situations they have little control over their behaviour? Good luck.

Chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via Moodle, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a solid chapter. For more feedback see [ these copyedits] and the comments below. Theory The material about TRA and TPB could be significantly abbreviated, with links to more information, and then the material which explores these theories and corresponding research in relation to binge drinking could be expanded because this is the main focus of the topic. The chapter probably over-relies on TRA/TPB. TRA/TPB is not part of the title/subtitle, so there probably needs to be a broader motivational perspective with some justification for the strong focus on TRA/TPB in relation to understanding binge drinking. Which of the elements of the TRA/TPB is most strongly associated with binge drinking/ Research Research about the TRA/TPB and binge drinking is well explained, although more details could be included. Some statements were unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) When describing important research studies, provide some indication of the nature of the sample and possibly cultural context. Written expression Written expression is reasonable. Write for an international, not just an Australian, audience The quality of written expression could be improved (e.g., see where clarification templates have been added to the page). Layout Add bullet-points for External links. Tables and/or Figures are used effectively. Learning features Quiz questions are used effectively to encourage reader engagement. Grammar and proofreading Check and correct the use of ownership apostrophes (e.g., individuals vs. individual's vs. individuals'). Check and correct the use of abbreviations (such as "e.g.," and "i.e.,"). The grammar of some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the tags). APA style Put in-text citations in alphabetical order. Check and correct the APA style formatting of in-text citations (e.g., et al.). The reference list is not in full APA style.
