Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The present study stems from a concern with the possible occurrence of alcohol
abuse on a university campus. The major focus is an exploration of the drinking
habits of mostly undergraduate students. An adequate understanding of the
above would simplify the task of the university authorities of formulating a
relevant alcohol policy and action plan. The survey involves a self-completion
questionnaire. The data analysis concentrated on Pearson's correlations and chisquare
tests. Significant relationships between the level of alcohol use on the
one hand and gender, residence, language, other substance abuse, sport
participation, religion, moral values, and sexual activity on the other hand was
found. Finally a profile of high-risk, heavier drinking students are provided. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die huidige studie spruit uit 'n besorgdheid oor die voorkoms van alkohol
misbruik op 'n universiteitskampus. Die primêre fokus is 'n verkenning van die
drinkgewoontes van hoofsaaklik voorgraadse studente. 'n Omvattende begrip
van bogenoemde sal die taak vergemaklik van die universiteitsowerhede om 'n
toepaslike alkoholbeleid en -aksieplan te formuleer. Die ondersoekende studie
behels 'n selfvoltooings vraelys. Die data-analise fokus op Pearson se
korrelasies en chi-kwadraat toetse. Beduidende verbande is gevind tussen vlak
van alkohol gebruik aan die een kant en geslag, verblyf, taal, ander
substansgebruik, sportdeelname, godsdiens, morele waardes en seksuele
aktiwiteit aan die ander kant. Laastens word 'n profiel van die hoë risiko,
swaarder drinkende studente verstrek.
