Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Students who were under 20 were more likely to volunteer because the issue of a change in drinking age was more personally relevant to them as it directly affected their ability to consume alcohol legally. Students who were 21 and over were already of legal drinking age and were less likely to be affected by the proposal.
