尽管已经发现同伴规范与大学生饮酒的相关性特别强，但研究表明，父母对孩子的行为也有重大影响，即使在他们的孩子去上大学之后也是如此。本研究调查了父母和最亲密的朋友对酒精(禁止性规范)知觉上的差异对大学生饮酒及其后果的影响。并探讨了性别差异对这一影响的影响。研究发现，除了性别、同性描述性规范和每周饮酒量这三个已知的最强预测变量外，禁令差异与个人饮酒和相关后果显著相关。男性的父母和他们的同龄人的信念之间的差异明显更大，这与饮酒增加和与同性同龄人群体的联系更紧密有关。在女性中，感觉到的差异越大，与酒精相关的后果越大。这些结果表明，影响行为的可能不是父母和同龄人的个人态度，而是他们之间的差异。无论是通过纠正对同龄人饮酒的高估，还是通过促进与态度与自己更接近的同龄人的社交，通过鼓励父母继续参与孩子的社交生活，减少感知差异的干预措施，可能有助于减少高风险的大学饮酒。(C)2009爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Although peer norms have been found to be a particularly strong correlate of alcohol consumption by college students, research suggests that parents also have a significant impact on the behaviors of their children, even after their child has departed for college. The current study investigated the effect of disparity between the perceived approval of alcohol (injunctive norms) of parents and closest friends on college Student drinking and consequences. and explored gender differences in this effect. It found that injunctive disparity was significantly correlated with individual drinking and related consequences over and above the strongest known predictor variables of gender, same-sex descriptive norms and drinks per week. Males experienced significantly greater disparity between the beliefs of their parents and their peers, which was related to increased drinking and a greater sense of connection to their same-sex peer group. Among females, greater perceived disparity was associated with greater alcohol-related consequences. These results suggest that it may not be the individual attitudes of parents and peers, but rather the difference between them, that is impacting behavior. Interventions that reduce perceived disparity, either by correcting the over-estimation of peers drinking, or by encouraging parents to stay involved in their children's social lives by promoting socialization with peers whose attitudes more closely match their own, may be beneficial in reducing risky college drinking.
