Abstract:
|
Following the rational of the social norm approach to college students drinking behavior, which states that students overestimate their fellow students support of permissive drinking behaviors, and that this overestimation correlate with college students own drinking behaviors, colleges confidently applied the methods to reduce campus alcohol consumption. The integrated health model was used as a framework for this research to evaluate effectiveness of the college alcohol campaign at a southeast research university. The 132 participants were randomly sampled from an undergraduate registration list and an online survey was employed.
Intention to drink alcohol was negatively associated with attitude toward the harmful effects of alcohol, but positively associated with perceived approval from significant others. Students who perceived the ability to exercise control over motivation are less likely to drink excessively in the near future. Consistent with the pluralistic ignorance assumption, students believed that other students are more comfortable than they are with alcohol consumption on campus. However, the social norms campaign had minimal impact on students estimation of friends drinking behaviors and showed no significant relationship with self-reported intention to consume alcohol. |
