The aim was to identify a relationship between the JOHARI Window and patterns of alcohol use and alcohol-related problems among college students. Four colleges were selected randomly, which were located in Seoul in 2000. In conducting the data analyses, 483 cases were used. For measuring alcohol-related problems among college students, we used NAST (1), AUDIT, US National Alcohol Survey, and Social Value Scale of College Drinking, as scales. The Johari Window was classified by Open Quadrant Type, Blind Quadrant Type, Hidden Quadrant Type, and Unknown Quadrant Type.
The major findings are as follows:
First, there are the highest portions of alcohol users (63.9%) and binge drinkers (62.1%) among the Open Quadrant Type students, and there is the lowest portion of alcohol users (51.4%) and binge drinkers (54.9%) among the Unknown Quadrant Type students.
Second, the Open Quadrant Type and Blind Quadrant Type students are more likely to
have unwanted drinking episodes, and the Hidden Quadrant Type students are less likely
to have unwanted drinking episodes.
Third, alcohol dependent students (NAST1) are 50.5% among the Open Quadrant, 46.9% among the Unknown Quadrant, 35.7% among the Blind Quadrant, and 12.3% among the Hidden Quadrant Type students.
Fourth, the proportion of Alcohol Use Disorder students is 52.4% among the Open Quadrant, 50.0% among Blind Quadrant, 46.9% among the Hidden Quadrant, and 41.8% among the Unknown Quadrant Type students.
Fifth, the Open Quadrant students drink the most, but the Blind Quadrant students have the highest portion of alcohol-related problems.
In conclusion, the Blind Quadrant Type students have the most severe alcohol problems, and the Open Quadrant Type students have more severe alcohol problems than the Hidden Quadrant and the Hidden Quadrant Type students. The Hidden Quadrant and the Unknown Quadrant Type students are more likely to have positive attitudes toward drinking than the other types, but are less likely to have alcohol-related problems.
