两项研究探讨了大学生赌博作为一个功能的描述性和强制性的社会规范。人们预计，个人会高估描述性规范，描述性规范和禁令规范将唯一预测赌博行为和问题赌博。在研究1中，317名大学生自我报告的赌博频率低于感知的典型大学生赌博行为。研究2，其中包括560名大学生，重复研究I的结果，并揭示了类似的结果，就赌博支出的感知和实际的描述性规范。感知的描述性和强制性规范唯一预测自我报告的赌博频率，支出和赌博相关的负面后果。利用社会规范为基础的干预措施，以减少赌博问题的大学生进行了讨论。
Two studies examined college student gambling as a function of descriptive and injunctive social norms. It was expected that individuals would overestimate the descriptive norm and that both descriptive and injunctive norms would uniquely predict gambling behavior and problem gambling. In Study 1, self-reported gambling frequency among 317 college students was found to be lower than perceived typical college student gambling behavior. Study 2, which included 560 college students, replicated the results of Study I and revealed similar findings with respect to perceived and actual descriptive norms for gambling expenditure. Perceived descriptive and injunctive norms uniquely predicted self-reported gambling frequency, expenditure, and negative consequences related to gambling. The utilization of social norms-based interventions to reduce problem gambling among college students is discussed.
