朋友被认为对年轻人的饮酒模式有很大的影响。目前的研究集中在最好的朋友的饮酒行为对12-14岁青少年饮酒量的影响。此外，我们假设友谊特征（即，互惠和社会地位差异），以缓和青少年受到最好朋友影响的程度。纵向数据的1276名青少年和他们最好的朋友被用来研究是否青少年的朋友的饮酒行为，互惠的友谊，和朋友之间的地位差异影响的变化幅度在青少年的饮酒行为。研究结果表明，好友饮酒行为与青少年饮酒行为在横截面和纵向上均存在相关。从跨部门的角度来看，这种关联在共同的朋友和地位较低的朋友之间尤为强烈。在纵向分析中，出现了不同的情况。受访者最有可能采取他们的朋友的饮酒行为时，这是一个单方面的朋友具有较高的地位。© 2004爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Friends are presumed to exert a substantial influence on young people's drinking patterns. The current study focused on the effects of the best friend's drinking behaviour on the alcohol consumption of 12-14-year-old adolescents. Furthermore, we hypothesized friendship characteristics (i.e., reciprocity and sociometric status differences) to moderate the extent in which adolescents had been influenced by their best friends. Longitudinal data of 1276 adolescents and their best friends were used to examine whether the adolescent's friend's drinking behaviour, reciprocity of the friendship, and status differences between friends affected the magnitude of change in the adolescent's drinking behaviour. The findings showed that best friend's drinking behaviour is related to adolescent's drinking both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Cross-sectionally, this association was particularly strong between mutual friends and friends with lower status. In longitudinal analyses, a different picture emerged. Respondents were most likely to adopt their friend's drinking behaviour when it was a unilateral friend with a higher status. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
