Evaluation of an alternative methodology for investigating leadership and binge drinking among sorority members
Abstract
Recent research suggests that leaders in Greek organizations use alcohol more frequently and more heavily than non-leaders in Greek organizations. These results carry considerable implications for the majority of existing alcohol education programs that rely heavily on peer modeling. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether a more complex and realistic assessment of leadership involvement produced different results than the previous study. Results from 327 women in five randomly selected sororities provide evidence that binge drinking is related to some negative academic outcomes, but that a significant relationship between binge drinking and leadership involvement in Greek organizations does not exist. Furthermore, the results provide evidence that leadership styles do not influence the leadership involvement-binge drinking relationship.

This finding suggests a moderator variable (additional leadership involvement in other organizations) that may affect the hypothesis linking leadership involvement to increased consumption.
“This finding suggests a moderator variable (i.e., additional leadership involvement in other organizations) that may affect the hypothesis linking leadership involvement to increased consumption (Bartholow et al., 2003;Cashin et al., 1998;Plucker & Teed, 2004).”

Later researchers (Fairlie et al. 2010; Plucker & Teed, 2004) found no differences between leaders and members with regard to consumption.

Plucker and Teed (2004) concluded that peer modeling may not be ineffective due to poor models, but the results suggest that, collectively, the leaders are at best mediocre models.
“Specifically, Plucker and Teed (2004) concluded that, “Peer modeling may not be ineffective due to poor models, but the results suggest that, collectively, the leaders are at best mediocre models” (p.387).”

Researchers studying sorority leaders and alcohol use did not find significant connections.
“Interestingly, researchers studying sorority leaders and alcohol use did not find significant connections (Plucker & Teed, 2004).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
