本研究旨在进一步研究同龄人对年轻人饮酒和问题的作用。特别是，我们专注于一个人的社交网络中的一个特定的同龄人子集，主要是与酒精使用相关的活动，称为“饮酒伙伴”。在一个人的社交网络中，酒友的存在被证明是预测酗酒的唯一因素，但很少有研究关注调节这种关系的潜在因素。因此，本研究的目的是探讨饮酒的好友对酒精的影响结果和程度的关系可能依赖于一个人的规范性的看法。另一个目的是提供一个描述性的检查喝酒的朋友。参与者是大学生（N = 250; 72.8%的女性），他们完成了自我报告的酒精使用和问题，强制性规范，描述性规范和社会网络特征的措施。结果表明，描述性规范调节饮酒伙伴和所有酒精结果评估之间的关系。具体来说，饮酒伙伴的影响力更强的那些认为较低的流行率同龄人饮酒。研究饮酒伙伴的特征发现，这些同龄人往往是年轻的成年人谁是适度的社会饮酒者与他们感到密切，并认为可用于具体和情感上的支持。重度饮酒者和非重度饮酒者的酒友之间出现了一些差异。本研究通过研究可能促进危险饮酒的特定同龄人小组，为更大规模的同龄人影响和酒精使用工作做出了贡献。
The present study sought to further examine the role of peers on alcohol use and problems among young adults. In particular, we focused on a specific subset of peers in one’s social network mostly for activities related to alcohol use called “drinking buddies.” The presence of drinking buddies in one’s social network has been shown to predict heavy drinking uniquely over but few studies have focused on potential factors moderating the relationship. Consequently, an aim of present study was to examine the influence of drinking buddies on alcohol outcomes and the extent to which the relationship may be dependent on one’s normative perceptions. Another aim was to provide a descriptive examination of drinking buddies. Participants were college students (N = 250; 72.8% women) who completed self-report measures of alcohol use and problems, injunctive norms, descriptive norms, and social network characteristics. Results showed that descriptive norms moderated the relationship between drinking buddies and all alcohol outcomes assessed. Specifically, the influence of drinking buddies was stronger for those who perceived a lower prevalence of peer drinking. Examination of drinking buddies characteristics revealed that these peers tended to be young adults who were moderate social drinkers with whom they felt close and perceived to be available for concrete and emotional support. Several differences emerged between the drinking buddies of heavy versus non-heavy drinkers. The present study contributed to the larger body of work on peer influence and alcohol use by examining a specific subgroup of peers that may promote risky drinking.
