背景：社交网络成员的饮酒一直与个人饮酒有关。然而，人们对四年制大学学生以外的新兴成年人群以及这种关系的潜在调节者的关注较少。本研究以未上过四年制大学的新生成人为样本，考察了：1)社会网络的构成特征，2)网络成员饮酒与个人饮酒之间的关联，以及3)人际关系类型（如朋友、父母、重要他人）如何调节网络与个人饮酒之间的关联。方法：数据由525名参加Qualtrics panel的新生成人样本提供。结果：在这个非大学样本中，社交网络的组成是多样化的，大约三分之一的网络成员是朋友，不到一半的网络成员是家庭成员。父母往往比朋友和重要的人更频繁地饮酒，但参与者与朋友和重要的人一起饮酒的频率更高。此外，与父母一起喝酒相比，朋友和重要的人一起喝酒往往与个人饮酒有更强的联系。然而，关系类型并没有调节与网络成员饮酒和个人饮酒之间的关联。结论：正因为如此，干预措施需要提供给饮酒群体。
Background: The drinking of social network members has been consistently associated with personal drinking. However, less attention has been paid to emerging adult populations outside of four-year college students and to potential moderators of this relationship. In a sample of emerging adults who never attended four-year college, this research examined: 1) the compositional characteristics of the social networks, 2) the association between the drinking of network members and personal drinking, and 3) how the association between network and personal drinking was moderated by relationship type (e.g., friend, parents, significant other).Methods: Data was provided by a sample of 525 emerging adults who participated in Qualtrics Panels.Results: In this noncollege sample, the composition of the social network was diverse, with roughly one-third of network members being friends and a little less than half being family members. Parents tended to consume alcohol more frequently than friends and significant others, but participants consumed alcohol more frequently with friends and significant others. Furthermore, drinking among friends and significant others tended to have stronger associations with personal alcohol use than drinking among parents. However, relationship type did not moderate the association between drinking with network members and personal alcohol use.Conclusions: Because of this, interventions need to be delivered to drinking groups.
