An anonymous questionnaire was administered to 1,283 middle school/high school students and 930 college students. The students responded to instruments assessing social context of drinking, perceived norms of drinking, alcohol use intensity, and frequencies of impaired driving (DWI) and riding with an impaired driver (RWID). Canonical correlation analyses revealed that in middle school/high school students, there are discernable patterns of association between social context, perceived norm and alcohol abuse measures. Drinking intensity for self was closely related to several social context variables and perceptions of close friends' drinking intensity, whereas RWID and DWI frequencies for self were most strongly associated with different perceived norm variables. Among college students, findings from a canonical analysis showed that both social context and perceived norm variables were related to drinking intensity, though there were not multiple patterns of association among subsets of variables. Overall, the findings indicate that alcohol consumption has linkages to both social context and perceived norms. In contrast, DWI and RWID are closely related only to normative influences.
对1283名中学生/高中生和930名大学生进行了一项匿名问卷调查。学生们对评估饮酒社会背景、饮酒认知规范、饮酒强度以及酒后驾车（DWI）和乘坐酒驾司机车辆（RWID）频率的问卷进行了作答。典型相关分析显示，在中学生/高中生中，社会背景、认知规范与酒精滥用测量指标之间存在明显的关联模式。自我饮酒强度与几个社会背景变量以及对亲密朋友饮酒强度的认知密切相关，而自我的RWID和DWI频率与不同的认知规范变量关联最为紧密。在大学生中，典型分析的结果表明，社会背景和认知规范变量均与饮酒强度有关，不过变量子集之间不存在多种关联模式。总体而言，研究结果表明饮酒与社会背景和认知规范均有关联。相比之下，DWI和RWID仅与规范影响密切相关。
