Abstract
It was hypothesized that gender role conflict and drive for muscularity would predict alcohol consumption and drinking consequences. In addition that success, power, and competition would predict alcohol consumption, consequences, and drive for muscularity. To test the hypotheses, 157 college aged men completed the Gender Role Conflict Scale, Drive for Muscularity Scale, a Quantity and Frequency consumption of alcohol measure, and the College Alcohol Problem Scale-Revised. Separate hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed significant relationships between drive for muscularity and alcohol consumption and drinking consequences. Furthermore there was a significant relationship between success, power and competition and alcohol consumption, drinking consequences, and drive for muscularity. Implications, recommendations, and limitations are described in the discussion.
