Fishbein（1967, 1980）的理性行为理论被用来检验态度和主观规范在预测大学生三种不同类型的社交饮酒行为的意图中的相对重要性：避免饮酒，喝到足以获得轻微的兴奋，喝到足以喝醉。采用多元回归范式来确定态度和主观规范在预测执行三种饮酒行为的意图方面的相对有效性。虽然态度一直被发现比主观规范更能预测意图，但态度-意图关系的强度在三种行为中差异很大。特别是，当“喝得酩酊大醉”时，态度与意图的相关性最强。研究结果还表明，主观规范、以前的行为和感知到的行为控制并不是预测这种行为的重要变量。
Fishbein's (1967, 1980) theory of reasoned action was used to test the relative importance of attitudes and subjective norms in predicting undergraduate students' intentions to perform 3 different types of social drinking actions: avoiding drinking, drinking enough to get a slight buzz, and drinking enough to get drunk. A multiple regression paradigm was used to determine the relative effectiveness of attitudes and subjective norms in predicting intentions to perform each of the 3 drinking behaviors. Although attitudes were consistently found to be better predictors of intentions than were subjective norms, the strength of the attitude-intention relation varied widely across the 3 actions. In particular, the attitude-intention correlation was strongest for ''drinking enough to get drunk.'' Findings also suggest that subjective norms, previous behavior, and perceived behavioral control are nor important variables for predicting this behavior.
