| Abstract | Title of Thesis: THE ROLE OF FEMININE AND MASCULINE NORMS IN COLLEGE WOMEN’S ALCOHOL USE Aylin Esra Kaya, Master of Arts, 2016 Thesis directed by: Dr. Derek Kenji Iwamoto, Department of Psychology Current literature suggests not only that men and women can conform to both feminine and masculine norms, but that women who adhere to certain masculine norms may be at greater risk for problematic alcohol use. This study examined conformity to both masculine and feminine norms, and how conformity to distinct norms influenced heavy episodic drinking and alcohol-related problems among a sample of underage college women (N= 645). Results demonstrated that the masculine norms risk-taking and emotional control were associated with increased HED, while the masculine norm power over women was associated with a decrease in HED. Traditional feminine norms, including modesty and sexual fidelity, were associated with a decrease in HED and alcohol-related problems. The feminine norm relational was associated with increased HED, while the norms thinness and appearance were associated with increased alcohol-related problems. The study’s theoretical and clinical implications are discussed. THE ROLE OF FEMININE AND MASCULINE NORMS IN COLLEGE WOMEN’S ALCOHOL USE |
