Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan alkoholkonsumtion och personlighetsdimensionerna som beskrivits utifrån Femfaktorteorin samt mellan variablerna kön, ålder, civilstatus och antal barn. Vidare var studiens syfte att undersöka om dessa variabler kan predicera alkoholkonsumtion. Deltagarna (N=140) studerade vid ett medelstort universitet i södra Sverige.  Korrelationsanalysen          påvisade samband mellan alkoholkonsumtion, extraversion, agreeableness, kön, civilstatus och antal barn deltagarna hade. I en multipel regressionsanalys försvann sambandet med agreeableness och civilstatus. / The purpose of this study was to examine associations between alcohol consumption and the personality dimensions specified in the Five factor theory as well as between the variables sex, age, civil status and number of children.
