在一项大规模的小组研究中，研究了同伴和媒体影响对青少年酒精认知和消费的影响的种族差异。关于同伴影响，交叉滞后面板分析的结果表明，感知同伴饮酒和自己的饮酒之间的关系是显着的黑人和白色青少年，但它是更强的白色青少年。关于媒体的影响，结构模型分析表明，在电影中饮酒与8个月和16个月后更多的酒精消费有关。这些影响是通过增加青少年饮酒者原型的可接受性、他们的饮酒意愿以及他们与饮酒朋友交往的倾向来介导的。多组分析再次表明，对白色青少年的影响（直接和间接）要比对黑人青少年强得多。结果表明，媒体影响力的工作方式与社会影响力相似，白人可能更容易受到这两种影响。
Racial differences in the effects of peer and media influence on adolescents' alcohol cognitions and consumption were examined in a large-scale panel study. With regard to peer influence, results from cross-lagged panel analyses indicated that the relation between perceived peer drinking and own drinking was significant for both Black and White adolescents, but it was stronger for the White adolescents. With regard to media influence, structural modeling analyses indicated that exposure to drinking in movies was associated with more alcohol consumption 8 months and 16 months later. These effects were mediated by increases in the favorability of the adolescents' drinker prototypes, their willingness to drink, and their tendency to affiliate with friends who were drinking. Multiple group analyses indicated that, once again, the effects (both direct and indirect) were much stronger for White adolescents than for Black adolescents. The results suggest media influence works in a similar manner to social influence and that Whites may be more susceptible to both types of influence.
