OBJECTIVE
The current study aimed to inform future interventions for heavy alcohol use and problems among college students by examining the utility of normative perceptions and coping strategies in predicting alcohol use among student service members/Veterans (SSM/Vs).
METHODS
SSM/Vs and civilian students (N=319) at a large university in the Southern Plains completed self-report measures of demographics, alcohol use and related behaviors, and coping strategies.
RESULTS
Both SSM/Vs and civilian students significantly overestimated the typical weekly drinking quantities and frequencies of same-sex students on campus. Among SSM/Vs, normative perceptions of typical student (not military-specific) drinking and substance-related coping strategies significantly predicted drinks consumed per week, while substance-related coping predicted alcohol-related consequences.
CONCLUSIONS
Despite the theoretical importance of similarity to normative referents, military-specific norms did not significantly improve the prediction of SSM/Vs' personal drinking behavior. Moreover, neither typical student nor military-specific norms predicted alcohol-related consequences among SSM/Vs after accounting for substance-related coping strategies. Future research may examine the efficacy of descriptive normative feedback and the importance of military-specific norms in alcohol interventions for SSM/Vs.
目的
本研究旨在通过检验规范认知和应对策略在预测学生服务人员/退伍军人（SSM/Vs）饮酒行为方面的效用，为未来针对大学生重度饮酒及其相关问题的干预措施提供参考。
方法
美国大平原南部一所大型大学的学生服务人员/退伍军人及普通学生（N = 319）完成了关于人口统计学、饮酒及相关行为以及应对策略的自我报告测量。
结果
学生服务人员/退伍军人及普通学生均显著高估了校园内同性学生的典型每周饮酒量和饮酒频率。在学生服务人员/退伍军人中，对典型学生（非特定于军人）饮酒的规范认知以及与物质相关的应对策略显著预测了每周饮酒量，而与物质相关的应对策略则预测了与酒精相关的后果。
结论
尽管与规范参照对象的相似性在理论上具有重要意义，但特定于军人的规范并未显著改善对学生服务人员/退伍军人个人饮酒行为的预测。此外，在考虑了与物质相关的应对策略后，无论是典型学生规范还是特定于军人的规范均未预测出学生服务人员/退伍军人中与酒精相关的后果。未来的研究可以检验描述性规范反馈的有效性以及特定于军人的规范在针对学生服务人员/退伍军人的酒精干预中的重要性。
