The present study examined whether individuals perceived their peers' impulsivity as different from their own impulsivity and if perceptions of peers' impulsivity moderated the associations between personal impulsivity and alcohol use and consequences.
Participants were 291 college student drinkers.
An online survey assessed impulsivity, peer norms of impulsivity, and alcohol use. T-tests and hierarchical regressions examined associations.
Peer impulsivity (i.e., negative/positive urgency, lack of premeditation/perseverance) norms were generally higher than personal impulsivity, except for sensation seeking. Individuals with greater personal lack of premeditation tended to consume more alcohol, and having higher peer lack of premeditation norms strengthened this relationship. Only greater peer lack of premeditation norms was associated with greater consequences.
Findings suggested that individuals generally perceived peer impulsivity to be higher than their own impulsivity. There was some support that peer impulsivity norms (i.e., lack of premeditation) were related to personal alcohol outcomes.
本研究考察了个体是否认为其同伴的冲动性与自己的冲动性不同,以及对同伴冲动性的认知是否调节了个人冲动性与酒精使用及后果之间的关联。
参与者为291名大学生饮酒者。
一项在线调查评估了冲动性、同伴冲动性规范和酒精使用情况。采用t检验和分层回归分析关联。
除了寻求刺激外,同伴冲动性(即消极/积极紧迫感、缺乏预谋/毅力)规范总体上高于个人冲动性。个人缺乏预谋程度较高的人往往饮酒量更多,而同伴缺乏预谋规范较高则强化了这种关系。只有同伴缺乏预谋规范较高与更严重的后果相关。
研究结果表明,个体通常认为同伴的冲动性高于自己的冲动性。有证据支持同伴冲动性规范(即缺乏预谋)与个人酒精使用结果有关。
