Across 2 studies we tested the hypothesis that social ingratiation motives may be an important factor explaining social imitation of alcohol consumption. In Study 1, participants drank alcohol with a heavy versus light drinking confederate under conditions that were designed to heighten or reduce (participants believed they would not be judged) motivation for ingratiation. In Study 2 we manipulated the degree to which participants believed they had already successfully ingratiated themselves with a heavy or no (alcohol) drinking confederate. In Study 1, participants' alcohol consumption was most strongly influenced by the confederate's drinking behavior when they believed that they would later be judged by the confederate. In Study 2, participants' alcohol consumption was influenced by the confederate's drinking behavior and this effect was particularly pronounced if participants were unsure if the confederate had accepted them. The desire for social ingratiation may in part explain why people imitate the drinking behavior of those around them. (PsycINFO Database Record
在两项研究中，我们检验了这样一个假设：社交逢迎动机可能是解释饮酒行为社会模仿现象的一个重要因素。在研究1中，参与者与大量饮酒或少量饮酒的同谋一起饮酒，实验条件旨在增强或降低（参与者认为自己不会被评判）逢迎动机。在研究2中，我们操纵了参与者认为自己已经成功地与大量饮酒或不饮酒（酒精）的同谋建立融洽关系的程度。在研究1中，当参与者认为自己随后会被同谋评判时，他们的饮酒量受同谋饮酒行为的影响最大。在研究2中，参与者的饮酒量受同谋饮酒行为的影响，并且如果参与者不确定同谋是否接受他们，这种影响会特别明显。对社交逢迎的渴望可能在一定程度上解释了为什么人们会模仿周围人的饮酒行为。（PsycINFO数据库记录）
