Higher accepted friends are known to influence the alcohol misuse of lower accepted friends, but not the reverse. The present study was designed to address the origins of this influence: Are higher accepted friends particularly or are lower accepted friends particularly to influence? To address this question, we introduce an innovative application of longitudinal social network techniques (RSIENA) designed to distinguish being influential from being susceptible to influence. The results revealed that influence was a product of heightened susceptibility among low accepted adolescents, rather than heightened influence among high accepted adolescents. The findings are consistent with claims that low accepted youth fear the consequences of nonconformity and adjust their behavior to more closely resemble their affiliates.
众所周知，受欢迎程度较高的朋友会影响受欢迎程度较低的朋友滥用酒精，但反之则不然。本研究旨在探究这种影响的根源：是受欢迎程度较高的朋友特别具有影响力，还是受欢迎程度较低的朋友特别容易受到影响？为了回答这个问题，我们引入了纵向社交网络技术（RSIENA）的创新应用，旨在区分具有影响力和容易受到影响。结果表明，影响是低受欢迎程度青少年易感性增强的产物，而不是高受欢迎程度青少年影响力增强的结果。这些发现与以下观点一致，即低受欢迎程度的年轻人担心不符合规范的后果，并调整自己的行为以更接近他们的同伴。
