在大学生面临的与酒精相关的风险中，最大的公共健康危害莫过于酒后驾车(爸爸)。本研究考察了学生对父亲的禁止性误解在多大程度上预测了参与父亲的可能性，以及这种关系是如何通过父亲的自我认可来调节的。参与者是来自美国西海岸两所大学的2848名大学生(59.1%是女性，64.6%是高加索人)，他们完成了基于网络的机密调查，评估了父亲的信仰和行为。结果显示，受访者往往高估了同龄人对父亲的好感。此外，可能参与DADman、21岁以上、希腊附属学生、高加索人、有酗酒家族史的学生的亚群也更有可能误解(即高估)同龄人对父亲的认可程度。通过二元Logistic回归分析，父亲的自我认同在学生对父亲的错误认知与父亲投入之间的关系中起到了重要的统计中介作用。结果表明，禁止性同伴误解在导致酒后驾车风险的途径中可能发挥着相当大的作用。这些发现为特定于DAD的社会规范干预提供了初步支持，补充或补充了现有的酒精干预。通过针对高危学生亚群和传达准确的酒后驾驶规范，这些拟议的干预措施有可能减少自我认可和DAD的发生率。
Of the alcohol-related risks faced by college students, it is arguable that none presents a greater public health hazard than driving after drinking (DAD). The present study examined the extent to which students' injunctive misperceptions toward DAD predicted the likelihood to engage in DAD and how this relation was mediated by self-approval of DAD. Participants were 2,848 college students (59.1% female, 64.6% Caucasian) from two U.S. West Coast universities who completed confidential web-based surveys assessing DAD beliefs and behaviors. Results revealed that respondents tended to overestimate their peers' approval toward DAD. Moreover, the subgroups likely to engage in DADmen, 21+years of age, Greek affiliated students, Caucasians, students with a family history of alcohol abusewere also more likely to misperceive (i.e., overestimate) their peers' level of approval toward DAD. Using binary logistic regression analyses, self-approval of DAD emerged as an important statistical mediator in the relation between misperception of typical student approval toward DAD and engagement in DAD. Results point to the considerable role injunctive peer misperceptions may play in the pathways leading to drinking-driving risk. These findings provide preliminary support for DAD-specific social normative interventions, either complementing or supplementing existing alcohol interventions. By targeting high-risk student subgroups and communicating accurate drinking-driving norms, these proposed interventions have the potential to reduce self-approval and incidence of DAD.
