aimed at identi$ying the li/ely antecedents and correlates. "ore recently' the goal has #een to
develo& strategies #ased on theories and models o$ &revention that can reverse or &revent
adolescent alcohol use.
Social learning. Al#ert BanduraJs social learning theory is &ro#a#ly the most -idely used
among current &revention &rogram &lanners. According to Bandura 134662' learning is ac+uired
and sha&ed #y &ositive and negative rein$orcements 1re-ards and &unishments2' as -ell as #y
o#servation o$ other &eo&leJs #ehavior . Thus' &eo&le can antici&ate the conse+uences and sha&e
their o-n #ehavior to earn re-ards and &unishments. Bandura recogni%ed the &otential $or using
modeling as a -ay o$ directing and changing #ehavior. ?e o#serve the #ehavior o$ others in
&erson' on television' and in movies' and -e #ecome more li/ely to ado&t that modelJs #ehavior
#ased on the attractiveness o$ the model. BanduraJs early -or/ indicated that children readily
imitate aggressive models as -ell as more &ositive models and that status envy -as an im&ortant
$actor. Later' his theory $ormed the under&inning $or the use o$ near &eers to transmit messages
to some-hat younger children #y de&icting #ehavior and attitudes $or young &eo&le to imitate'
such as saying no to alcohol 1re$usal s/ills2. In addition to the use o$ near &eers in television
mass media e$$orts' BanduraJs -or/ most li/ely is the theoretical #asis $or &revention e$$orts
using the team or #uddy a&&roach' teaming individuals' small grou&s' $amilies' and even
communities' in -hich ne- health related #ehaviors can #e modeled and rein$orced' hel&ing to

-ant their &ersonal attitudes and #elie$s to #e com&ati#le -ith their o-n #ehavior. I$ they are not'
there is cognitive dissonance that a &erson -ill -ant to eliminate. As a &revention techni+ue'
"c>uire &ro&osed that certain &retreatments -ould esta#lish or strengthen #elie$s and attitudes
-ith -hich a &ersonJs #ehavior -ould have to harmoni%e to avoid cognitive dissonance.
Cognitive inoculation is one o$ these &retreatments. He $ound that ver#al inoculations had
certain immuni%ing e$$ects against strong counter)arguments' and strengthened the su#0ectsJ
a#ility to de$end their #elie$s. ?hen a&&lied to the use o$ alcohol and other drugs' cognitive
inoculation aligns a &ersonJs #elie$s and #ehavior -ith regard to these su#stances. ;or instance' i$
a teenager #elieves that drin/ing -ill diminish athletic a#ility' and &laces a high value on athletic
a#ility' resolution o$ dissonance -ould re+uire that the teenager either a#stain $rom drin/ing or
&lace a lo-er value on athletic a#ility. Another &retreatment a&&roach re+uires that a #ehavior
commitment #e made@ the commitment o$ten is in the $orm o$ a contract or &u#lic announcement
o$ oneJs #elie$s and intentions 1I -ill not use alcohol until I am o$ age2. "c>uire $ound that a
commitment made to others -as stronger than a &rivate commitment.
Behavioral intention. "artin ;ish#ein and Ice/ A0%en 134DF2 develo&ed a system $or
measuring attitudes as -ell as su#0ective norms. Their #ehavioral intention theory &ostulates that'
-hen &ro&erly measured' a &ersonJs attitudes and su#0ective norms a#out a #ehavior can #e used
as &redictors o$ #ehavior. Attitudes are the #elie$s a &erson holds a#out the outcome o$ a
#ehavior' along -ith the value he or she &laces on that outcome. The most &rominent dimension
o$ attitude is li/e)disli/e' the tendency to acce&t or to re0ect or to see/ to avoid. Su#0ective norms
are the &ersonJs assum&tions a#out the vie-s o$ signi$icant others regarding the #ehavior' along
-ith the &ersonJs motivation to com&ly -ith these vie-s. ;or attitudes and su#0ective norms to

-hich $ocus on the availa#ility o$ solutions rather than on the seriousness o$ the &ro#lem. He

the e$$ectiveness o$ a communication cam&aign de&ends on its a#ility to lead an audience
