对社会规范和饮酒之间联系的解释往往集中在想要融入、获得社会认可和/或避免社会排斥上。从这个角度来看，认为饮酒与社会认同感密切相关的学生应该更有动力饮酒，特别是如果他们在大学里的社会认同感或归属感较低的话。为了评估这一假说，我们考察了饮酒的变化作为感知禁令规范(即他人对饮酒的认可)和归属感(即一个人在大学期间的社会归属感)波动的函数。参与者包括383名(60%女性)不戒酒的学生，他们从大学一年级或二年级开始，在两年的时间里每三个月完成一次评估。使用多水平混合效应负二项模型分析数据，然后进行边际检验以评估非线性交互作用。面对面的结果表明，当个人认为其他学生更认可酒精时，他们随后会增加饮酒，当个人的归属感处于或低于平均水平时，这一点尤其正确。人与人之间的影响揭示了禁制令规范和归属感与饮酒的总体正相关。此外，在平均归属感水平较低的学生中，禁令规范较高的个人更多的饮酒并不明显。只有当个人归属感达到或低于平均水平时，认为他人更赞成饮酒对应的饮酒量才会增加。更高的归属感可能会缓解社会对饮酒的影响。
Explanations for associations between social norms and drinking often focus on wanting to fit in, gain social approval, and/or avoid social exclusion. From this perspective, students who believe that drinking is strongly linked to social approval should be more motivated to drink, especially if their sense of social approval or belongingness in college is low. To evaluate this hypothesis, we examined changes in drinking as a function of fluctuations in perceived injunctive norms (i.e., perceptions of others’ approval of drinking) and belongingness (i.e., one’s sense of social belonging in college). Participants included 383 (60% women) nonabstaining students who, beginning in their first or second year of college, completed assessments every 3 months over a 2-year period. Data were analyzed using multilevel mixed-effects negative binomial models followed by marginal tests to evaluate nonlinear interactions. Within-person results indicated that when individuals believed other students were more approving of alcohol, they subsequently increased their drinking, which is especially true when individuals’ sense of belongingness was at or below average. Between-person effects revealed overall positive associations of injunctive norms and belongingness with drinking. In addition, greater alcohol consumption among individuals with higher injunctive norms was less evident among students with lower average levels of belongingness. Perceiving others as more approving of drinking corresponds to increased drinking only when personal levels of belongingness are at or below average. Elevated feelings of belongingness may buffer social influences on drinking.
