Why is this research important?Why is this research important?
Importance of degree persistence & attainment
High levels of injury/death during a period of peak health
Merge quantitative and qualitative data to better understand the full picture of risk taking amongst college students
Educate college administrators about best practices◦Best allocate resources

Decision-MakingDecision-Making
• Risk taking falls within the larger context of decision-making
While decision-making implies the choice between multiple known alternatives, risk taking applies to a situation in which the consequences are unknown or ambiguous (Clifford, 1991).

Social Neuroscience PerspectiveSocial Neuroscience Perspective(Steinberg, 2008)(Steinberg, 2008)
Attempts to answer why risk taking increases between childhood and adolescence
Adolescents are NOT:◦ Irrational or deficient in information processing◦More likely to believe they are invulnerable◦Less risk averse than adults
So what ARE they?Socio-emotional network vs. cognitive control
network◦During states of emotional arousal or when with
peers

Construct Measure Sample Item
Risk Perception Benthin et al., 1993 “If you did this activity (e.g. had unprotected sex), how much are you are risk for something bad happening?”
Sensation seeking Zuckerman et al., 1978 “I sometimes like to do things that are a little frightening.”
Impulsivity Patton et al., 1995 “I do things without thinking.”
Resistance to peer influence Steinberg & Monahan, 2007 “Some people think it’s better to be an individual even if people will be angry at you for going against the crowd.BUTOther people think it’s better to go along with the crowd than to make people angry at you.”
Future orientation Steinberg et al., 2009b “Some people take life one day at a time without worrying about the future.BUTOther people are always thinking about what tomorrow will bring.”Indices of Psychosocial

HypothesesHypotheses
1.A large, national quantitative data set will provide statistically significant evidence that students who drink more (frequency and quantity) have lower overall GPAs, experience more negative consequences as a result of their drinking and experience more impediments to academic success
2.Students who live on campus, are member of Greek fraternities and sororities and/or are varsity athletes will have higher levels of binge drinking than their peers
3.Students who drink more (frequency and quantity) engage in other risky behaviors (unprotected sex, NMPD use, etc.) at higher rates than their peers

If you have had oral, vaginal or anal intercourse, have you used protection?13. Please define academic achievement. What you do you think it means to be academically successful?14. Please define risk taking.15. Do you see any relationship between your risk taking and your academic goals?16. What is the difference between something that is risky and something that is not risky?17. Do you think your risk taking will change as you get older?18. Do you think that risk taking is always “bad?” Can you provide an example of a risk you took that had a positive outcome?19. I want you to think about a situation. In one situation, a group of friends decide to skip classes to go down the shore. In the other situation, a group of friends go down the shore on Saturday. Are the friends likely to feel closer in one situation than the other? Why or why not?20. Can you tell me about a time when risk taking interfered with your school work?

Defining and Conceptualizing Risk Defining and Conceptualizing Risk TakingTaking
Low risk students◦Risk taking is something out of your comfort
zone that you usually decide to do without thinking about the potential consequences, which could be positive or negative to both you and the people around you
High risk students◦Risk taking is dangerous behavior that could
cause you trouble, harm or impact you negatively but you do it anyway

Student Definition of Risk TakingStudent Definition of Risk Taking
Risk taking is doing something different or new that could cause you trouble or harm, but which also has the potential for a positive outcome

Risk now versus high school
“Way more risks. Because, you’re not underthe supervision of your parents here so youcan kind of just do whatever you want and Imean, not to say that, I mean, when I was inhigh school I did stupid things. But here it’sjust so much easier because it’s like a playground for making bad decisions basically. (laughter). Gocollege! Woo!”
–Alison, high risk

Risk now versus 30
“Because that’s the time to be mature, start thinking about the bigger picture. I think the time between high school and real life is the time you can have to kind of find yourself and kind of do what you need to do, take risks.”
–David, high risk

“It can be done, you don’t have to just sit in your dorm and study all the time to be a good student I would say. I think that coming to college and actually living there, the social aspect of it is also part of the experience and part of growing up. Not that that necessarily has to involved drinking, but I think that’s an important thing in someone’s life to like go out and meet people and learn how to socialize in that way. It plays as much of a role as academia I guess.”-Jessie, high risk

“OK, this is cool. Umm, I feel like, uh, alright, I’m gonna say this. I feel like academics are really based upon the individual skill sets as opposed to their behavior. I mean, we do know for a fact that obviously, if you are drinking 5 days out of a week than 9 times out of 10 you’re probably not going to perform better than someone who is just not, if you’re on the same academic level. But, I don’t feel like having one day or even two maybe out of that week where you sort of drink, even a little bit in excess, will directly affect the outcome of their academics. So it’s really weird, I feel like there’s a really fine line of how they’re affected by each other because, like I told you about my roommate. You can have those experiences where you just like to drink and you drink pretty often, but you still produce well academically and then you can have those situations where it doesn’t occur. So I feel like it’s a very thin line and they’re very close to each other. But I wouldn’t say one is indicative of the other, unless it’s to that big of an extreme.”

Summary of ResultsSummary of Results
All three hypotheses were supported
1.A large, national quantitative data set will provide statistically significant evidence that students who drink more (frequency and quantity) have lower overall GPAs, experience more negative consequences as a result of their drinking and experience more impediments to academic success
2.Student who live on campus, are member of Greek fraternities and sororities and/or are varsity athletes will have higher levels of binge drinking than their peers
3.Students who drink more (frequency and quantity) engage in other risky behaviors (unprotected sex, NMPD use, etc.) at higher rates than their peers
These relationships grew stronger when just analyzing the first-year cohort

Surprising FindingsSurprising Findings
Weak strength of correlations◦Only large effect size in correlation between alcohol
consumption and negative consequences (especially number of days in last 30)
Student perceptions about impediments to academic performance◦Anxiety, cold/flu, internet use, sleep difficulties,
depression and stressWillingness of students to share their
experiences◦Genuine gratitude for being asked

Implications for PractitionersImplications for Practitioners
What (if anything) will impact behavior?Importance of family/support systemsWhat do students want information about
that we are not giving them? Do any of your campuses do a good job in this area?◦Sleep, stress, anxiety, nutrition
Open & honest conversations with students◦Students are open to these conversations, but are
we asking the right questions?◦BASICS philosophy

Implications for PractitionersImplications for Practitioners
Are we focusing so much on alcohol that students think it is even more pervasive than it actually is?◦“My mom was actually talking to someone else
who has a son who goes here and he was saying how he almost regretted his decision to come here because they make it seem like that’s a major part of going to X is just drinking all the time and stuff.”
◦We’ve made a change at our own Orientation to a workshop called Healthy Choices instead of a session devoted to alcohol
