目前的研究预测，在高中阶段（14岁至18岁）的重度酒精使用从认知有关使用酒精在中学评估。使用潜在增长模型，我们研究了结构模型，使用数据从1011名参与者在俄勒冈州青年物质使用项目。在这个模型中，社会形象和描述性规范，在7年级饮酒的意愿和意图，在8年级饮酒，这些变量随后相关的截距和斜率的严重饮酒的程度在整个高中（9至12年级）。在整个样本中，描述性规范和社会形象都影响了大量饮酒（9年级）通过饮酒意愿的拦截。多个样本分析表明，社会形象也直接关系到大量饮酒的拦截，只有女孩。研究结果表明，在中学饮酒的认知预测随后在高中大量饮酒。这些发现强调了针对改变学生社会形象的预防计划的必要性，并鼓励学生在中学时更准确地感知同龄人的使用。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The present study predicts heavy alcohol use across the high school years (aged 14 through 18) from cognitions regarding the use of alcohol assessed in middle school. Using Latent Growth Modeling, we examined a structural model using data from 1011 participants in the Oregon Youth Substance Use Project. In this model, social images and descriptive norms regarding alcohol use in grade 7 were related to willingness and intention to drink alcohol in grade 8 and these variables were subsequently related to the intercept and slope of extent of heavy drinking across the high school years (grades 9 through 12). Across the sample, both descriptive norms and social images influenced the intercept of heavy drinking (in the 9th grade) through willingness to drink alcohol. Multiple sample analyses showed that social images also were directly related to the intercept of heavy drinking, for girls only. Results suggest that cognitions regarding alcohol use in middle school predict subsequent heavy drinking in high school. These findings emphasize the need for prevention programs targeting changing students' social images and encouraging a more accurate perception of peers' use when students are in middle school.
