The purpose of this study was to explore trends in situational norms and attitudes toward drinking and to assess the associations of norms and attitudes with current drinking and frequent heavy drinking patterns among whites, blacks, and hispanics between 1984 and 1995. Data were obtained from two nationwide probability samples of US households. Results indicated that there were no broad trends in situational norms and attitudes toward drinking between 1984 and 1995 among whites, blacks, and hispanics in the US. The variations in norms and attitudes detected between 1984 and 1995 were ethnic and gender-specific. For all of the groups studied, situational norms and attitudes were highly predictive of both current drinking and frequent heavy drinking patterns.
本研究的目的是探讨情境规范和对饮酒态度的趋势，并评估1984年至1995年间美国白人、黑人及西班牙裔人群中规范和态度与当前饮酒及频繁重度饮酒模式之间的关联。数据来自美国家庭的两个全国性概率样本。结果表明，1984年至1995年间，美国白人、黑人及西班牙裔人群在情境规范和对饮酒的态度方面没有广泛的趋势。1984年至1995年间检测到的规范和态度差异具有种族和性别特异性。对于所有研究组而言，情境规范和态度对当前饮酒及频繁重度饮酒模式均具有高度预测性。
