In the present study, we conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of the main effects and interactions of decisional balance, drinking identity and gender in predicting alcohol outcomes among college students. Specifically, students who were male, had strongerdrinking identities, and a decisional balance that tipped away frombehavior change, reported higher levels of drinking and alcohol-related problems compared to their college peers. The overallimplication of the present research is that all of these factors andtheir interactions are important predictors that should be consid-ered in future assessments with college drinkers. Perhaps certain at-risk groups could be targeted for more comprehensive intervention. Further, decisional balance, drinking identity, and theirintersection with gender could be combined into interventions that
