利用社会网络分析方法研究大学生物质使用行为是一个新兴的研究领域。然而，很少有研究将学生感知的同伴饮酒规范纳入这些分析。本研究调查了一所大学一年级学生（N = 1，342;占一年级学生的81%）的社会网络特征，酒精使用和酒精相关后果之间的关联。描述性规范的调节作用也进行了研究。网络特征和描述性规范来自参与者提名的最多10名对他们重要的其他学生;个人网络特征包括受欢迎程度（入度）、网络扩展性（出度）、关系互惠性和网络密度。描述性规范被定义为参与者在他们提名的同龄人中的平均感知狂欢饮酒频率。网络自相关模型显示，深度和描述性规范与参与者每周的平均饮酒次数、狂饮频率和酒精相关后果呈正相关。Indegree和outdegree与描述性规范相互作用，这样，当参与者认为他们的同龄人中不太频繁的酗酒，outdegree与较少的酒精消费，但没有后果。当参与者认为他们的同龄人中更频繁的酗酒时，indegree和outdegree与更多的酒精消费有关，但不是后果。目前的研究结果表明，受欢迎，并认为大量的间歇性饮酒是正常的一个人的同龄人与更大的酒精风险。此外，与提名更多的同龄人相关的酒精风险可能会增加或减少，这取决于学生的同龄人饮酒规范。对未来的研究和干预措施的影响进行了讨论。
A burgeoning area of research is using social network analysis to investigate college students’ substance use behaviors. However, little research has incorporated students’ perceived peer drinking norms into these analyses. The present study investigated the association between social network characteristics, alcohol use and alcohol-related consequences among first-year college students’ (N = 1,342; 81% of the first-year class) at one university. The moderating role of descriptive norms was also examined. Network characteristics and descriptive norms were derived from participants’ nominations of up to 10 other students who were important to them; individual network characteristics included popularity (indegree), network expansiveness (outdegree), relationship reciprocity, and network density. Descriptive norms were defined as participants’ average perceived binge drinking frequency among their nominated peers. Network autocorrelation models revealed that indegree and descriptive norms were positively associated with participants’ average number of drinks per week, binge drinking frequency, and alcohol-related consequences. Indegree and outdegree interacted with descriptive norms, such that when participants perceived less frequent binge drinking among their peers, outdegree was associated with less alcohol consumption, but not consequences. When participants perceived more frequent binge drinking among their peers, indegree and outdegree were associated with more alcohol consumption, but not consequences. The present results suggest that being popular and believing that heavy episodic drinking is normative among one’s peers is associated with greater alcohol risk. Further, alcohol risks associated with nominating more peers may be enhanced or lessened depending on students’ peer drinking norms. Implications for future research and interventions are discussed.
