Abstract
The aim of this paper was to describe the association between assertiveness, resistance to group pressure and level of alcohol consumption in university students of both genders, ages between 16 and 33, who attended two educational institutions. The Rathus Assertiveness Scale, the Resistance to Group Pressure Questionnaire and the Audit Test for alcohol consumption were administered. In addition, some more specific data about consumption were also included. Results show a significant association between variables such as level of alcohol consumption, assertiveness and resistance to group pressure. The findings about alcohol consumption, based on social conditions and development of the youth are discussed.
