To provide an overview of studies within the past five years examining the impact of social network factors on addictive behaviors among college students, to discuss gaps, limitations, and controversies in the field, and to summarize with a discussion of future directions and implications for interventions.
A review of 13 studies indicated that greater network exposure, centrality, reciprocated ties, and more tightly interconnected networks were associated with greater alcohol use and other addictive behaviors among college students.
Greater research is needed that expands beyond alcohol use to other addictive behaviors among college students. Additionally, more studies are needed that longitudinally study the impact of changes in social networks on addictive behaviors and vice versa, as well as studies examining sociocentric (whole) networks. Social network approaches offer innovative perspectives in understanding social influences on addictive behaviors and novel intervention strategies for potentially reducing addictive behaviors among college students.
概述过去五年内研究社交网络因素对大学生成瘾行为影响的各项研究，讨论该领域存在的差距、局限性及争议，并通过探讨未来方向和干预措施的意义进行总结。
对13项研究的综述表明，更高的网络曝光度、中心性、互惠关系以及联系更紧密的网络与大学生更多的饮酒行为及其他成瘾行为相关。
需要开展更多研究，研究范围应从饮酒行为扩展至大学生的其他成瘾行为。此外，还需要更多纵向研究社交网络变化对成瘾行为的影响以及成瘾行为对社交网络变化的影响，同时也需要研究以社会为中心的（整体）网络。社交网络方法为理解社会对成瘾行为的影响提供了创新视角，并为潜在减少大学生成瘾行为提供了新颖的干预策略。
