Abstract

Although people with higher social anxiety (HSA) appear particularly vulnerable to alcohol-related problems it remains unclear why people with HSA experience such problems. One possibility is that HSA people's drinking behavior is influenced by their beliefs about others' drinking (i.e., descriptive norms) and/or others' approval of drinking (i.e., injunctive norms). The current study investigated the relationship between social anxiety, alcohol-related problems, drinking frequency and quantity, and descriptive and injunctive norms. The sample consisted of current drinkers with clinically elevated social anxiety (HSA; n=86) or lower social anxiety (LSA; n=86). Injunctive norms moderated the relationship between social anxiety group status and alcohol-related problems such that HSA participants with higher injunctive norms reported the most alcohol-related problems. Descriptive norms moderated the relationship between social anxiety and drinking quantity such that among participants with higher descriptive norms, LSA participants drank more than HSA participants.

摘要

尽管社交焦虑程度较高（HSA）的人似乎特别容易出现与酒精相关的问题，但人们仍不清楚为什么 HSA 的人会出现此类问题。一种可能性是，HSA 人群的饮酒行为受到他们对他人饮酒的看法（即描述性规范）和/或他人对饮酒的认可（即规定性规范）的影响。本研究调查了社交焦虑、与酒精相关的问题、饮酒频率和数量以及描述性和规定性规范之间的关系。该样本由目前具有临床水平社交焦虑（HSA；n=86）或较低社交焦虑（LSA；n=86）的饮酒者组成。规定性规范调节了社交焦虑组状态与与酒精相关问题之间的关系，以至于具有较高规定性规范的 HSA 参与者报告了最多的与酒精相关的问题。描述性规范调节了社交焦虑与饮酒量之间的关系，以至于在具有较高描述性规范的参与者中，LSA 参与者比 HSA 参与者饮酒更多。
