College student-athletes are at risk for heavy alcohol consumption and related consequences. The present study evaluated the influence of college student and college athlete descriptive norms and levels of athletic identity on drinking and related consequences among incoming college students attending two universities (N=1119). Prior to the beginning of their first year of college, students indicating high school athletic participation completed assessments of athletic identity, alcohol consumption, drinking-related consequences, and normative perceptions of alcohol use. Estimations of drinking by college students and student-athletes were significantly greater than self-reported drinking. Athletic identity moderated associations among gender, perceived norms, drinking, and related consequences. Athlete-specific norms had a stronger effect on drinking among those reporting higher levels of athletic identity, and higher levels of athletic identity exclusively protected males from experiencing drinking-related consequences. Implications of the role of athletic identity in the development of social norms interventions targeted at high school athletes transitioning to college are discussed.
大学生运动员面临大量饮酒及相关后果的风险。本研究评估了大学生和大学运动员描述性规范以及运动身份水平对两所大学入学新生（N = 1119）饮酒及相关后果的影响。在大学一年级开始之前，表明高中参加过体育运动的学生完成了运动身份、饮酒量、饮酒相关后果以及饮酒规范认知的评估。大学生和学生运动员的饮酒估计量显著高于自我报告的饮酒量。运动身份调节了性别、感知规范、饮酒及相关后果之间的关联。特定于运动员的规范对那些报告运动身份水平较高者的饮酒有更强影响，且较高的运动身份水平专门保护男性免受饮酒相关后果的影响。讨论了运动身份在针对从高中过渡到大学的运动员的社会规范干预发展中的作用的意义。
