Study: Higher i

By College Preti Service
MADISON ? Students who
drink and drive are stimulationseekers
who are not likely to be
deterred by laws raising the
minimum legal drinking age, recent
research by a University of
\1/:- '
iswuiisiu team suggests. t
Instead of trying to curb
students' adventuresome habits,
counselors should help students J
i find new ways to satisfy their
need for thrills, the researchers
say.
Their conclusions arc based
on a study comparing student
drinking and driving habits with
personality types, says UW
psychologist Frank Farley, who
conducted the study along with s
grad student Sharon McNeelv.
THEY FOUND that students \
most likely to drink excessively c
and drive tend to be extroverted 1
risk-takers who prefer change i
and novelty and are attracted to
| experimental lifestyles. t
"These people tend to reject i
rules and regulations of any
kind," Farley said. "Minimum- 1
age drinking and driving laws
are just creating more rules for
them to reject." <
Although these students are <
more prone to delinquency, the 5
researchers say, they are just as ?

"These two forces arise from
he same group of people,"
Farley said. "We need to get
hese people to transfer their inerests
from one to the other.
"IF COUNSELORS arc
iware of the characteristics of
extreme stimulation-seekers,
hey can help channel their
inergy into the creative
potential."
To date, Farley and McNcely
lave surveyed only a small sample
of students. They admit
heir results may not reflect all
students.
But their thesis that the need
or stimulation is the key to
jnderstanding and controlling
irunk driving ? the largest
ciller of those 16 to 24 ? is supported
by accident statistics.
Farley said those in their late
eens and early 20s have the
greatest need for stimulation.
The plot of traffic accidents
'ollows the same pattern.
Safety regulations such as
.eat belt laws and speed limits
imply prompt the timulationseekers
to take even bigger
isks. Farley said.
