Abstract

The relationship between alcohol attitudes and the personality variables of locus of control and authoritarianism was investigated for a sample of 791 high school students. Authoritarianism was negatively related to indiscriminate attitudes and positively related to responsible attitudes toward alcohol use for both males and females. The locus of control dimension correlated with alcohol attitudes for females only. The findings provide information useful in the identification of adolescents at risk for problematic drinking.
