Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between life goals and alcohol drinking-related variables among college students. Method: Subjects of this study were 455 college students. The analysis of collected data included personal projects analysis, cross tabulation analysis, t-test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The results revealed that the less college students engaged in binge drinking of alcohol, the better they could define life goals. Significant differences in life goal and alcohol drinking-related variables were by gender. Results of group comparison by alcohol binge drinking and gender, revealed that female college students achieved higher levels of life goals commitment, while the less male college students engaged in alcohol binge drinking, the higher levels of life goals commitment, perceived progress, and efficacy were revealed. The relative effects of life goals on alcohol drinking-related variables wasthat different life goals influenced alcohol drinking-related variables by alcohol binge drinking and gender. The more alcohol drinking was responsibly managed, the better male non-binge drinkers defined long-term goals and how to achieve such goals. The more alcohol drinking was responsibly managed, the better female non-binge drinkers defined long-term goals and how to achieve such goals. The more alcohol drinking was responsibly managed, the better male occasional binge drinkers defined long-term goals and goal efficacy. The more alcohol drinking was responsibly managed, the better female occasional binge drinkers defined long-term goals. The more alcohol drinking was responsibly managed, the better male frequent binge drinkers defined goal efficacy. The more alcohol drinking was responsibly managed, the better female frequent binge drinkers defined goal efficacy. Conclusion: This study extended previous studies of foreign countries, and is expected to provide a basis for differentiating alcohol drinking behavior-related intervention, focusing on different life goals depending on drinking behavior and gender.
