INITIAL DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-EFFICACY SCALES FOR CONTROLLING DRINKING AND DRIVING

Intervention programs with offenders who have been convicted of drink driving attempt to prevent further incidents of driving after drinking. A combination of counselling or therapy with education and follow-up is used to improve self-efficacy in refraining from drinking and driving. This paper describes the development of scales of self-efficacy to reduce drink/driving and general beliefs about control over drink driving for use as outcome measures. It was hypothesized that the resulting scales would be inversely related to levels of alcohol problems amd to the frequency of driving after drinking. What was found was a significant sense of fatalism that the event would be repeated. For the covering abstract see IRRD 893732.
