Abstract Details

2018, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Sociology.
Research has shown that endorsing masculine traits is more likely to be associated with alcohol-related behaviors, such as HED, with men being more likely to be at risk than women. While literature has examined gender orientation and alcohol use, less discussion has focused on androgyny as a correlate for HED. This research investigates whether androgyny has an association with heavy episodic drinking (HED) for college students. Doing gender (West and Zimmerman 1987) can be described as a performance for presenting gender based on sex, which involves distinct set of values, norms, and gestures that fall under masculinity or femininity. Using secondary data (N=690) from a sample of undergraduates attending a mid-western state university, results shows that androgyny was negatively associated with HED for all models, when controlling for various variables. University administrators should strive to establish androgynous workshops for students to reduce alcohol related behaviors on college campuses.
