The association between descriptive norms regarding peer drinking and college students' binge drinking has been established; however, the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship among first-and second-year college students remain minimally explored. Drawing on social norms theory, motivational model of alcohol use, and the theory of normative social behavior, the current study investigated whether enhancement drinking motives mediated the relationship between descriptive norms regarding peer drinking and college students' binge drinking, and whether this relationship was moderated by alcohol resistance self-efficacy. Five hundred and nineteen first-and second-year college students ( = 19.19 years, = 0.98) who were from four universities and had at least one time of heavy episodic drinking during the last year completed self-report questionnaires. After controlling for sex, age, and university variable, stronger descriptive norms regarding peer drinking were positively associated with a greater frequency of binge drinking. Enhancement drinking motives partially mediated the effects of descriptive peer drinking norms on binge drinking. Furthermore, alcohol resistance self-efficacy moderated the direct effects of descriptive peer drinking norms on binge drinking. Compared with college students who reported high alcohol resistance self-efficacy, the direct effects of descriptive peer drinking norms on binge drinking were stronger among students with low alcohol resistance self-efficacy. These findings point to the potential value of alcohol intervention approaches including efforts to help first-and second-year college students change enhancement drinking motives and increase their ability of resisting drinks in the context of pervasive peer drinking.
关于同伴饮酒的描述性规范与大学生暴饮之间的关联已经确立；然而，大一和大二学生中这种关系背后的中介和调节机制仍未得到充分探索。基于社会规范理论、酒精使用动机模型和规范社会行为理论，本研究调查了增强饮酒动机是否介导了同伴饮酒的描述性规范与大学生暴饮之间的关系，以及这种关系是否受到酒精抵抗自我效能的调节。来自四所大学且在过去一年中至少有过一次重度饮酒经历的519名大一和大二学生（平均年龄=19.19岁，标准差=0.98）完成了自我报告问卷。在控制了性别、年龄和大学变量后，更强的同伴饮酒描述性规范与更高频率的暴饮呈正相关。增强饮酒动机部分介导了同伴饮酒描述性规范对暴饮的影响。此外，酒精抵抗自我效能调节了同伴饮酒描述性规范对暴饮的直接影响。与报告酒精抵抗自我效能高的大学生相比，酒精抵抗自我效能低的学生中，同伴饮酒描述性规范对暴饮的直接影响更强。这些发现指出了酒精干预方法的潜在价值，包括努力帮助大一和大二学生改变增强饮酒动机，并在普遍存在同伴饮酒的背景下提高他们抵抗饮酒的能力。
