Abstract

This study examined firstly the relationship between hyperfemininity, which is defined as exaggerated adherence to a stereotypic feminine gender role, and drinking self-regulation and secondly drinking problems in female college students. There were significant negative correlation between hyperfemininity and drinking self-regulation and positive correlation between hyperfemininity and frequency of alcohol intoxication. Also there was a significant positive correlation between hyperfemininity and the degree of drinking problems. In other words, high hyperfeminine undergraduate female students were lower in drinking self-regulation and were more likely to experience alcohol intoxication and drinking problems than low hyperfeminine students. Multiple regression analyses showed that drinking refusal ability was the most powerful predictor on alcohol intoxication frequency and problems, but hyperfemininity was not a unique significant predictor. It was suggested that hyperfemininity could be a risk factor of drinking problem development in undergraduate female students as was hypermasculinity a risk factor of drinking problem development in undergraduate male students. Discussions for the prevention strategies of drinking problems and the directions of future research based on the results were provided.
