In this study, the relation between peer crowd identification and indoor tanning behavioral tendencies was examined. Participants were 174 undergraduate students at a large university in the USA. Results indicated peer crowd identification was significantly associated with indoor artificial UV tanning behavioral tendencies (attitudes, normative beliefs, past year use and intentions) independent of gender and skin type. Participants who identified with the popular peer crowd were at the greatest risk for indoor tanning UV exposure while identification with the brain crowd was protective against such behavior. The findings are discussed in terms of implications for future skin cancer intervention efforts.
在本研究中，对同伴群体认同与室内美黑行为倾向之间的关系进行了考察。参与者为美国一所大型大学的174名本科生。结果表明，同伴群体认同与室内人工紫外线美黑行为倾向（态度、规范信念、过去一年的使用情况和意图）显著相关，且不受性别和皮肤类型的影响。认同受欢迎同伴群体的参与者进行室内美黑紫外线暴露的风险最大，而认同学霸群体则可预防此类行为。根据这些研究结果，讨论了其对未来皮肤癌干预工作的启示。
