人们一致发现描述性规范可以预测青少年饮酒情况，但人们对预测描述性规范的因素知之甚少。本研究的目的是测试与同伴饮酒是否可以预测以后的饮酒量，以及这种关系是否是通过同伴饮酒描述性规范的变化来调节的。数据来自对 10 年级和 11 年级具有全国代表性的高中生进行调查的群体 (N= 2,162)。使用结构方程模型来测试与同伴饮酒（T1）对后来饮酒（T2）和描述性规范（T2）关系的中介之间的关系的中介模型。描述性规范显着调节了男性和女性与同龄人饮酒和饮酒之间的关系，与女性相比，男性的影响更大。这些结果支持继续关注干预措施的开发和评估，以改变酒精使用的描述性规范。
Descriptive norms are consistently found to predict adolescent alcohol use but less is known about the factors that predict descriptive norms. The objective of this study is to test if drinking with peers predicts later alcohol consumption and if this relationship is mediated by a change in the descriptive norms of peer alcohol use. Data are from a nationally representative cohort of high school students surveyed in the 10th and 11th grade (N= 2,162). Structural equation modeling was used to test a mediation model of the relationship between drinking with peers (T1) on later alcohol use (T2) and mediation of the relationship by descriptive norms (T2). Descriptive norms significantly mediated the relationship between drinking with peers and alcohol use for both males and females with a somewhat larger effect for males compared to females. These results support a continued focus on the development and evaluation of interventions to alter descriptive norms of alcohol use.
