TL;DR: This paper examined the utility of the theory of planned behaviour, with and without inclusion of self-identity, moral obligation and past behaviour, in the prediction of binge drinking intentions of female school-leavers in Cape Town, South Africa.
Abstract: The study examines the utility of the theory of planned behaviour, with and without inclusion of self-identity, moral obligation and past behaviour, in the prediction of binge drinking intentions of female school-leavers in Cape Town, South Africa. The participants comprised 221 Grade 12 females from three schools located in formerly ‘white’, ‘coloured’ and ‘African’ areas (identified as Schools 1, 2 and 3, respectively). They completed questionnaire measures of drinking behaviour, constructs of the theory of planned behaviour, and self-identity and moral obligation. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses supported the theory of planned behaviour for students in each school. Addition of self-identity, moral obligation and past behaviour to the theory of planned behaviour variables led to a significant increase in intention prediction for students in Schools 1 and 3. Past behaviour and moral obligation had independent effects on intention for School I students, while self-identity and moral obligation h...

TL;DR: The findings indicated that the influence of initial unconventionality on initial marijuana use (T2) was stronger for males, and unconventionsality at T2 was not significantly related to overall rate of growth in marijuana use.
Abstract: The present study was designed to examine the relationship between unconventionality and marijuana use over time. The sample for this paper consisted of 532 male and female participants interviewed during early adolescence, late adolescence, their early twenties, and their late twenties. Latent growth modeling was used. The findings indicated that (1) the influence of initial unconventionality (T2) on initial marijuana use (T2) was stronger for males, (2) unconventionality at T2 was not significantly related to overall rate of growth in marijuana use, and (3) change in unconventionality was related to overall growth rate of marijuana use. The implications of the findings for prevention and treatment are discussed.
