Abstract

Drinking and smoking frequently co-occur in undergraduate students. A drinker identity - a valued identity related to alcohol consumption behaviors - predicts high levels of alcohol use and alcohol problems. Since alcohol use and tobacco use are often paired in the social context, smoking-related information, behaviors and routines may be encoded into a drinker identity. This study investigated the role of the drinker identity (drinker self-schema) on smoking-related information processing and behavior in undergraduate students who drink and smoke but do not self-identify as smokers. Also, the effects of early alcohol experiences with alcohol on the drinker self-schema were also explored.
