同伴交流是一种在社会群体中传播规范的机制。规范社会行为理论认为，群体认同、结果预期和强制规范调节描述性规范和行为之间的关系。本文通过将同伴交流概念化为描述性规范与行为之间关系的另一个调节因素，扩展了TNSB的范围。本研究以675名大学生为被试，对他们的规范认知、同伴交往、饮酒行为、饮酒后果、饮酒意向进行了调查。假设、描述性规范、同伴交流以及这两个变量之间的交互作用与消费显著相关，即使在控制了消费和各种规范性影响机制的已知预测因素之后也是如此。控制先前的饮酒，同伴交流也是未来饮酒意向的重要预测因素。这一模型解释了约63%的意图差异。这项研究发现，在控制了感知规范后，同伴交流与饮酒行为和饮酒意图之间存在显著的关系。
Peer communication represents 1 mechanism through which norms are disseminated in social groups. The theory of normative social behavior (TNSB) posits that group identity, outcome expectations, and injunctive norms moderate the relation between descriptive norms and behaviors. This article extends the purview of the TNSB by conceptualizing peer communication as another moderator in the relationship between descriptive norms and behaviors. A survey was conducted among college students (N = 675) to measure their normative perceptions, peer communication, alcohol consumption, alcohol-related consequences, and intention to drink alcohol. As hypothesized, descriptive norms, peer communication, and the interaction between these two variables were significantly associated with consumption, even after controlling for known predictors of both consumption and various mechanisms of normative influences. Controlling for prior consumption, peer communication was also a significant predictor of intention to consume alcohol in the future. This model explained approximately 63% of the variance in intention. This study found a significant relationship between peer communication and alcohol drinking behaviors and intentions after controlling for perceived norms.
