通过水管（WP）吸烟的人数正在上升，特别是在大学生中。其中一个原因可能是该人群对可湿性粉剂烟草吸烟（WTS）的规范性认识。目前的研究探讨了感知和实际的描述和禁令规范WTS之间的大学生samples.MethodsParticipants是894名大学生就读于一个大的，中西部大学。参与者完成WTS的频率和数量和感知/实际的描述性和禁令规范的WTS.ResultsOver三分之一的样本报告曾经尝试WTS的措施，而只有2%的报告当前（过去一个月）使用。当比较曾经和从来没有WP吸烟者，曾经吸烟者报告更大的感知同行批准WTS。男性和女性都高估了WTS频率的同性学生在their university.DiscussionThe目前的研究是第一个调查描述性和禁令规范的WTS在大学生。报告WTS的学生更有可能高估他们的同龄人之间的WTS的描述性规范，建议纠正规范性反馈的同龄人的实际使用可能是一个重要的目标WTS干预大学生。未来的研究应探讨规范知觉与大学生WTS行为之间的时间关联。
IntroductionSmoking tobacco via a waterpipe (WP) is on the rise, particularly among college students. One reason for this may be normative perceptions of WP tobacco smoking (WTS) among this population. The current study examined the perceived and actual descriptive and injunctive norms of WTS among a college student sample.MethodsParticipants were 894 college students enrolled at a large, Midwestern university. Participants completed measures of WTS frequency and quantity and perceived/actual descriptive and injunctive norms of WTS.ResultsOver one-third of the sample reported ever trying WTS, while only 2% reported current (past month) use. When comparing ever and never WP smokers, ever smokers reported greater perceived peer approval of WTS. Both males and females overestimated WTS frequency of same-sex students at their university.DiscussionThe current study is one of the first to investigate descriptive and injunctive norms of WTS among college students. Students who report WTS are more likely to overestimate descriptive norms of WTS among their peers, suggesting corrective normative feedback regarding actual use by peers may be an important target for WTS intervention among college students. Future research should investigate the temporal association between normative perceptions and WTS behaviors among college students.
