Gender differences in and underlying causes of adolescents attitudes to alcohol use (English)
Abstract [sv]

I Sverige kan man se en nedåtgående trend när det gäller alkoholkonsumtion bland ungdomar. Denna studie utforskar ungdomars attityder till alkohol och vilka faktorer som kan påverka ungdomars alkoholkonsumtion utifrån socialpsykologiska teorier och ett genusperspektiv. Avsikten var att undersöka om det fanns skillnader och likheter mellan könen. Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ studie och urvalet bestod av tio respondenter mellan 15 - 20 år bosatta i Sverige. Det vi kom fram till var att det fanns skillnader i attityder till alkohol mellan könen, men att faktorerna som framkom var lika för båda könen. Det fanns små variationer mellan motiven bland de som konsumerade alkohol och de som inte konsumerade alkohol. Däremot var motiveringarna lika oavsett kön bland dem som drack alkohol. Hos de drickande respondenterna var motiveringarna lika oavsett kön. Studien baseras på Theory of planned behaviour, social påverkan, social tuning och referens till genussystemet för att nå en djupare förståelse för ungdomars förhållningssätt till alkohol.

Abstract [en]

Currently there is a downward trend considering alcohol consumption among young people in Sweden. This study explores attitudes towards alcohol and the factors that can affect alcohol consumption among young people. This is a qualitative study based on social psychological theories from a gender perspective and includes research models for the Theory of planned behavior, Social Influence and Social tuning. In this study a broadened perspective and a deeper understanding of the youth drinking culture are analysed. The investigation includes interviews with ten Swedish students between the ages of 15 and 20. The result shows that there are differences in attitudes to consume alcohol due to gender differences, but that the factors that emerged were the same for both genders. There were small variations in motivations among non-drinking respondents and the main differences could be found among non-drinkers and drinkers. Among respondents who had a positive attitude towards alcohol consumption, the motivation was the same independent of gender.
