Research Scientist
Norms,
Defensiveness, and College Heavy Drinking
Gina Agostinelli is a Research Scientist, with a doctoral
degree in Social Psychology (Indiana University, 1988).
Dr. Agostinelli's work has focused on both adolescent
and college student drinking. She has conducted several
studies on how individuals at varying levels of current
drinking differentially process information related
to their own and others' drinking.
One
of her current projects employs the computer in order
to interactively provide college students with feedback
concerning their own drinking levels in different information
processing contexts. This project allows her to better
examine the roles of contextual factors in affecting
the assumed theoretical mechanisms involved in the processing
of alcohol-related information. Other research projects
in the prevention field have included investigating
the link between college students' safe-sex beliefs
and behaviors.
Next Study Director.
