ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To create explanatory models of 3 undergraduate drinking practices based on sex-specific norms.METHODS:
An electronic, student survey at one Mid-western university produced a representative sample of college students.RESULTS:
Multivariate analyses indicated that close-friend norms were the best predictors of drinking frequency, quantity, and drunkenness. With one exception, typical student (or distal) norms had no significant relationship to drinking. Opposite-sex norms had associations with drinking above and beyond that explained by same-sex norms.CONCLUSIONS:
The findings challenge the current application of the popular social norms approach that relies on distal drinking norms to provide normative feedback.
