청소년 또래요인과 문제음주의 관계에서 리더십의 조절효과

초록

This study explored the moderating role of leadership as a coping skill between peer influence and problem drinking. The sample included 968 high school students from 10 areas in Korea who filled out a self-administered survey questionnaire. The results indicated that peer pressure and association with drinking peers were predictors of problem drinking. Leadership played a protective role between peer pressure and problem drinking, but not between the percentage of alcohol using peers and problem drinking. Those with higher leadership skills were less likely to fall into the problem drinking category. Results indicate the need for including enhancing leadership skills as a prevention method for youth drinking problems. Further implications of the study are discussed.
