The value of ethnographic alcohol studies: A psychologist's perspective

Author

  • Johnson, Patrick B.

Abstract

Drinking behavior has been studied by scientists from a variety of social science disciplines including anthropology, economics, sociology, and psychology. The very nature of their narrow, discipline-based training and work, however, has often prevented these scientists from appreciating each other's different methodologies and from conducting cooperative, interdisciplinary studies. In this paper, I discuss how my own experience with ethnographic alcohol studies influenced my research on drinking behavior. I then outline a research strategy that could be used to foster interdisciplinary alcohol studies.
