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.
