两项研究考察了禁制令规范和大学生赌博之间的关系。在研究一中，我们考察了其他学生对赌博认可知觉的准确性，以及知觉认可与赌博行为之间的关系。在研究2中，我们评估了赌博行为作为其他学生、朋友和家人认可感知的函数。研究一以2524名大学生为研究对象，发现其他大学生对赌博的认可被高估，且与赌博行为呈负相关。包括565名大学生在内的研究2的结果重复了研究1的发现，并揭示了赌博行为与朋友和家人的认可感知之间的正相关关系。结果突出了禁令规范的复杂性，以及在评估时考虑参照组(例如，同龄人、朋友、家人)的重要性。结果还鼓励在考虑将禁止性规范纳入预防和干预方法时保持谨慎。
Two studies examined the relationships among injunctive norms and college student gambling. In study 1 we evaluated the accuracy of perceptions of other students' approval of gambling and the relationship between perceived approval and gambling behavior. In study 2 we evaluated gambling behavior as a function of perceptions of approval of other students, friends, and family. In study 1, which included 2524 college students, perceptions of other students' approval of gambling were found to be overestimated and were negatively associated with gambling behavior. The results of study 2, which included 565 college students, replicated the findings of study 1 and revealed positive associations between gambling behavior and perceived approval of friends and family. Results highlight the complexity of injunctive norms and the importance of considering the reference group (e. g., peers, friends, family members) in their evaluation. Results also encourage caution in considering the incorporation of injunctive norms in prevention and intervention approaches.
